I’ve read a couple of Lisa Gardner’s books featuring Frankie and really enjoyed them, this was no exception. It took me a little to get into this, I think it was that the start felt more logistical in terms of getting Frankie to the Hawaiian island but once she was there and I started to get a feel for the other characters something clicked and I was engrossed, This does start quite slowly but totally ramps up the pace as it continues. There’s a brilliant mix of characters and enough mystery about the events on the island to make you wonder who is trying to sabotage things then add a serial killer into the mix (and she’s not even the most frightening character imho) then you have a perfect set of events unfolding. Once I got into this I was totally gripped and couldn’t read it fast enough, another great read from Lisa Gardner. 9/10

Look, Lisa Gardner always writes good books. When I saw this was available for request, I immediately jumped on it.

Frankie has found herself wrapped into another case. This time, she is looking for the missing sister of the Beautiful Butcher, a female serial killer on death row, whose execution is in a few weeks. The case takes Frankie to a remote island in Hawaii, where things quickly unravel.


I cannot highly recommend this book. From the first page, you are drawn into Frankie's world and you cannot help but fall in love with her. Please read this!

Very well written, with relatable characters and well-constructed dialogue resulting in a very disturbing — but also satisfying — storyline ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️ A rattling good tale with twists and turns aplenty. Tropical destination and plenty of action! Loved it!!!!
