Summary

A body is discovered with her throat cut and her daughter believed missing. DCI Foster quickly sees parallels with the disappearance of a teenager three years earlier.

With hopes fading, he calls on genealogist Nigel Barnes to piece together the links between the families of the two girls. The trail leads back to 1890, and a young couple fleeing a terrible crime in their past....

compelling story

liked the narrator (as usual. Always choose audiobooks narrated by Colin Mace) Unusual storyline, different from the usual murder settings and use of the Mormon faith as a backdrop.

Great story. Another fantastic performance by Colin Mace

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a great plot, with some excellent characters, which kept me engaged all the way, and also gave some interesting insights into a number of subjects. I hope this becomes a series on Audible. I actually picked it as it is read by Colin Mace, who I think is the perfect reader for any book that is London based, although he is pretty good at accents too.

Not so different to first book

Very similar to the first book in the series. Well narrated, but boring and predictable plot.

One of the best novels I have 'read' for a while!

Excellent story, fascinating details about the religious cult involved, great narration and twisting, turning plotline. Very well written story with clever denouement. A 'couldnt put it down' book!
