About this audiobook
Six teens murdered. A suspect behind bars. A desperate father. In a case this shadowy, the truth is easy to hide.
Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives—predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning—and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development…
Defense attorney Robert Kavin is a still-traumatized father whose own son fell prey to the BH Killer. Convinced of Thompson’s innocence, he steps in to represent him. Now Robert wants Gwen to interview the accused, create a psych profile of the killer and his victims, and help clear his client’s name.
As Gwen and Robert grow closer and she dives deeper into the investigation, grave questions arise. So does Gwen’s suspicion that Robert is hiding something—and that he might not be the only one with a secret.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very good thriller! well written, with unexpected twists and turns! The teenage boys' killings are quite brutal, can't imagine the horror of loosing a child that way. The story sort of 'proves' an underlying notion on psychiatry. Narrator was also really good, switching voices with slight changes to create believable characters!

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book. Top class. Seeking out this authors other writings now. Loved the twists and turns and really good plot and ending.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Meh. Predictable. Not scintillating. Okay for listening candy, not worth looking for or pursuing.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The story plot is alright, didn’t enjoy the interaction between two main characters though. Seemed a bit unnecessary.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Pay attention, the clever clues are there. The twist still surprises.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Some twists & turns I’d not expected, deep storyline. Well narrated!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book is interesting and well written with simple wording, but it also becomes predictable at multiple points, it could be because of the way the characters are introduced or because of the limited number of characters but I was unable to find any loopholes except one, SPOILER ALERT- I would’ve liked to know more about what Brooke did to the boys, how did she harass them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a great read and had me guessing the whole time! Highly recommended!

Great story and good character build.
Love the ending.
The recap of clues bugged me a bit but overall good read. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I did enjoy it, it kept me intrigued. Didn't guess the outcome, which I usually do! Not sure most women would do what she did at the end, like to think that I wouldn't!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was a little slow on the beginning but eventually picked up the pace. This was my first Torre book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Twists I definitely didn't see coming.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I couldn’t stop listening to this book. I’ve listened to many predictable novels, but this is not one of them! Highly recommend if you love a good thriller.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent! The story unfolds logically and I didn't Guess Who the perpetrator wss
