Five long-missing children are about to be returned.

It was summer in the mountains when five small children vanished from their nursery school picnic. The heat was stifling that day, the tinkle of an ice-cream van in the air....

Three-and-a-half years later, in the dead of winter, the children are returned to their families...one by one.

All except for Ivy - the granddaughter of Homicide Detective Kate Wakeland. The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Speculation grows that the mysterious abductor is enacting a cruel revenge plot due to a murderer that Kate put in jail years before.

Kate isn't sure what to believe. But one thing is certain - she's about to begin the battle of her life. When the children were first stolen, she was prevented from investigating the case.

But now, Kate will be relentless in uncovering the identity of the abductor and discovering what happened to Ivy.

Interesting, and authentic-feeling characters. There were many twists and the mystery wasn’t bogged down by side-romance story-lines. Great performance by reader as well.

Another great Anni Taylor book

I don't usually like thrillers this much. I like the intensity, but I can almost always guess what's going to happen to wrap the story up. Usually serial thrillers are the worst - it just gets boring after awhile.
Anni Taylor writes in a different way. I prefer her thrillers because it doesn't matter what happens during the story, you will never guess the end. The intensity from book to book is the same; it never gets boring. I also love that the protagonists are women - this is just such a breath of fresh air. And, the women or girls portrayed are so REAL. In parts I really thought that this could be real because the thoughts, feelings, and actions are so life-like. Each book will transport you to the exact place that the book takes place, even if you've never been. Anni is such an amazing story teller that you see and hear and feel everything the characters do. They are extensions of yourseIf. I can see how Anni Taylor wouldn't be for everyone. I can believe that some people wouldn't want to be so invested in a book that they can't eat or sleep for fear of missing one thing. I don't share that belief. It doesn't matter which book you pick up, each one is amazing.
