Frustrated by a lack of police progress and with her son’s desperate need for closure ringing in her ears, Jude sets off to discover Lara’s last days. In her quest to find the truth, Jude will risk her job, her reputation, and even her sanity after she stumbles into the sights of a killer with a fanatical mission.

Son asks his Mum to help find his girlfriend's killer
Sounds trite!!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed every page.
Yes, completely over the top, but you could feel the determination to continue. Despite being lured into a life threatening situation. It only made her want to find the murderer even more.
Very well written. The writer knows he has to go all out and throws everything and the kitchen sink into the story.
Would happily read more by this author.
