Determined to expose Danny as a cold-blooded killer, Beth obsessively pursues him. But in her hunt for the truth, her family are set to pay the ultimate price…


This is my first book of Jamie's and what can I say I have loved every single page of it.
When a famous face is murdered in her own home and her ex husband is a known gang member boss all suspicions is on him.
Beth chambers is called to follow the story and to report on everything she finds out. But Beth's got history with the gang from her trying to report of all the wrong doings the gang boss is into and then finding out the gang boss's dad who's in prison could've murdered her step father. Beth has a lot to deal with including her daughter. And that her ex husband is a police officer who is on the gangs pay roll.
So when Beth pays a visit to one of the gangs work place she wasn't expecting to get i or to actually be seen by someone and now wishes she had not gone as it really shocked her that they would treat her like that. And then finds out they know where she lives and that they had rung the house she lives in with her mother and daughter she tells her ex husband and promises to speak to the gang but doesn't cos he knows the consequences if he says anything.
I did guess one part of the book as I was reading it and found after I guessed that part of the story everything would work out somehow but didn't expect Beth to turn her back on people once finding out the truth.
I was shocked to find out who had murdered Megan and the reason why was really shocking but then they get punished for both crimes even thou Megan is no longer around to see what happened.
Unfortunately it was to much guilt for ethan to live with being a dodgy copper was no way for his daughter to see him like that but I do think he took the cowardly way out though and would've preferred if he actually did face up to his crimes instead.
