This FBI agent has come to expect almost anything – just not this…
When Agent Mercedes Ramirez finds an abused young boy on her porch, covered in blood and clutching a teddy bear, she has no idea that this is just the beginning. He tells her a chilling tale: an angel killed his parents and then brought him here so Mercedes could keep him safe.
His parents weren’t just murdered. It was a slaughter – a rage kill like no one on the Crimes Against Children team had seen before. But they’re going to see it again. An avenging angel is meting out savage justice, and she’s far from through.
One by one, more children arrive at Mercedes’s door with the same horror story. Each one a traumatized survivor of an abusive home. Each one chafing at Mercedes’s own scars from the past. And each one taking its toll on her life and career.
Now, as the investigation draws her deeper into the dark, Mercedes is beginning to fear that if this case doesn’t destroy her, her memories might.
Great third book of this series. I have thoroughly enjoyed all three of these. I really like Dot Hutchison’s style of writing, where each book focuses on a different agent’s point of view; very clever. I also like that she spends time ok that aftermath of initial trauma stuff. Looking forward to more…
Why all the rave reviews I read the first two books a year ago. Book one was better then the others. This one bored me to tears. I listened about 1/2 book, then skipped to the last four chapters. It was even boring at the end. I had even pre-ordered her fourth book but cancelled it after trying to listen to this one. Now I have an audible book and kindle book that I will never read again or listen too but that’s my own fault. It was like an old Charlies Angels series.
Review I so thoroughly loved this book, from page one I could not put it down. It was a rollercoaster emotional read that kept me glued. I really do hope that the author intends to write more books in the series and not let the series end with this book. Highly recommend this book and the series to anyone who really enjoys a good mystery.
