A murder of crows fell from the sky into a lake in Slayton (where else?). Seriously, if that wasn’t enough to make people move out of there, I don’t know what is! This was a thrilling, well written, gripping and dark addition to the Slayton thrillers which I could not put down! What a great series! If you have not read one of the books in this series, I highly recommend it!

The falling/death of the crows brings about a dark, deep, deadly secret. There hidden in the depths of the lake lies the body of a baby strapped in its pram. Who could have done such a thing? Why?

Bookseller Cora has been dreading this moment. Cora has a sad, sad history that is about to get even more sad. When Detective Sarah Noble begins investigating, she has no idea where things are going to take her. Even with a confession, this case will not be so cut and dry. This is Slayton after all, where horrible, horrible things have happened and there are those with deep, dark, secrets.

This was another killer addition in the Slayton Thriller series. This town just seems to attract and create all kinds of deranged and disturbed individuals. I enjoy how Caroline Mitchell creates tension and builds her plots. She also knows how to create both creepy and mentally wounded characters. Just when I thought I knew everything, I was thrown off by a twist and a reveal. I enjoyed the layers in this story and how everything came together.

Dark, tense and chilling.
