Mystery/thriller. Chloe Davis was 12 years old when her dad was arrested and put in prison for the murder of 6 teenage girls. 20 years later, Chloe has (sort of) turned her life around; she has a successful psychology practice and is engaged to be married to a wonderful man.

No spoilers here but I did guess where this one was going to go pretty early on in the book. There were some twists and turns but in the end, I was right and ...more
