Publisher's Summary

When prodigal daughter Heather Evans returns to her family home after her mother's baffling suicide, she makes an alarming discovery - stacks and stacks of carefully preserved letters from notorious serial killer Michael Reave. The Red Wolf, as he was dubbed by the press, has been in prison for over 20 years, serving a life sentence for the gruesome and ritualistic murders of several women across the country, although he has always protested his innocence. The police have had no reason to listen, yet Heather isn't the only one to have cause to re-examine the murders. The body of a young woman has just been found, dismembered and placed inside a tree, the corpse planted with flowers. Just as the Red Wolf once did.

What did Heather's mother know? Why did she kill herself? And with the monstrous Red Wolf safely locked inside a maximum-security prison, who is stalking young women now? Teaming up with DI Ben Parker, Heather hopes to get some answers for herself and for the newest victims of this depraved murderer. Yet to do that, she must speak to Michael Reave herself, and expose herself to truths she may not be ready to face. Something dark is walking in the woods, and it knows her all too well.

The Original ancient fairy tales

This was a unexpected surprise,so much better than introductory blurb would have you believe. Centuries old fairy tales had many hidden truths about evil in humans. Definitely not the sugar coated Disney versions of Rapunzel, Beauty and the Beast, Hansel and Gretel, and Little Red Riding Hood, although this tale has many of their elements, rape, incest, physical, mental abuse. An innocent teenage girl meets a handsome, mysterious young man from the woods. They fall in love, she has his child. Shortly after she discovers that while monsters can be very charming, loving, sooner or later they become who they are. The ancient forests hide many evil secrets, and that’s what this creepy, audio listen is all about. I was enchanted by the modern interpretation of these ancient tales of evil. Human monsters are very tricky. Terrific listen, especially in how author slowly developed Heather into a strong woman with a dark heritage.
