The Fear Is Terrifying

When police rescue five-year-old Jenna Thompson from the dark closet where she's been held captive for days, they tell her she's a lucky girl. Compared to the rest of her family, it's true. But even with their killer dead of an overdose, Jenna is still trying to find peace 25 years later.

But the Truth

On leave from her forensic artist job, Jenna returns to Nashville, the city where she lost so much. Instead of closure she finds a new horror. Detective Rick Morgan needs Jenna's expertise in identifying the skeletal remains of a young child. The case jogs hazy, half-buried memories—and a nagging dread that Jenna's ordeal hasn't ended.

Is Even Worse

Now other women are dying. And as the links between these brutal killings and Jenna's past becomes clear, she knows this time a madman will leave no survivors.…

Mary Burton

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mary Burton loves writing suspense, researching law enforcement and forensic procedures, morning walks, baking, books, and tiny dachshunds. She also enjoys hunting down serial killers, which she does in her New York Times and USA Today bestselling novels of suspense and romance. Library Journal has compared her work to that of Lisa Jackson and Lisa Gardner, and Fresh Fiction likened her writing to that of James Patterson.

Mary is routinely featured among the top twenty writers in Amazon’s Author Rankings for romantic suspense, and her recent novel The Last Move claimed the number ten fiction slot in the Kindle eBooks Store.

Research is a favorite part of Mary’s day. She never tires of learning more about police work, evidence collection and analysis. She’s known for taking a hands-on approach, whether it means interviews with professionals in the field, forensic seminars or lessons at the firing range.

A Richmond native, Mary has lived there for most of her life. She is a graduate of Virginia’s Hollins University and worked in marketing before she began writing full time. Her first book was published in 2000 and she’s now the author of thirty-four published novels, five novellas and four works of contemporary women’s fiction written as Mary Ellen Taylor.

A member of International Thriller Writers, Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, Novelists, Inc., and Romance Writers of America, Mary is known for creating multiple suspense stories connected by characters, such as her recent The Forgotten Files novels. Her new book, Her Last Word, and The Last Move, break that mold.

When not traveling for research or visiting with readers at bookstores, book festivals and conferences, Mary remains very much a homebody. She and her husband spend time alternately enjoying and lamenting their empty nest and spoiling their four-legged babies Buddy, Bella and Tiki.

a scary past...literally

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

Nashville Detective, Rick Morgan, is back to work after a traffic stop left him and his K9 severely injured. His first case is an unidentified female body in the burned out remains of a house. The next is equally as gruesome...the remains of a young child have been discovered in a drained community pond. When his sister recommends a Baltimore PD forensic artist to recreate a sketch of the child, Rick is skeptical, but soon realizes that Jenna Thompson may be an asset. Now if only he wasn't attracted to her. Jenna Thompson has a terrifying past that she had blanked from her mind, but as the 25th anniversary to those events looms closer, she gets flashes of memory. The memories have probably been triggered by the discovery of a young girl locked in a closet on her last case but whatever the reason, it's starting to come back. And Jenna's arrival may have unleashed a killer. Another good story in the Nashville Morgans series.

Another terrific story by Burton

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

This was an intense, suspenseful, and extremely complex story where the past and present collide with disastrous results. It's certainly not a story that you'll want to miss.
There were a few editing errors, which are very uncommon for this author's books, but they were all minor and didn't take away from the flow of the story.
I would highly suggest that you read this series in order, as it will give you a better understanding of the characters, and the dynamics between all of them.
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

What set this book apart from the first was the unique aspects contained within the story. Let me warn you there are spoilers ahead
SPOILERS.........
The dynamic of the two men that worked together in each homicide I thought was an interesting twist. The fact that each man had certain desires and how Billy played on their insecurities was brilliant and made for an intriguing read. There was so much going on in this book, from the discovery of the Lost Girl, to Jenna's backstory to the current murders. There never seemed to be a dull moment. My biggest disappointment, however, was not finding out what happened to Heather's parents or should I say murderers. She served such a big part in the story that I felt that not hearing how they were punished left the entire thing slightly unfinished. Great read though!

Excellent continuation

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 14, 2021

This series follows the Morgan family of Nashville, a police dynasty. In this novel, we get the story of Rick, the middle brother. In the previous novel, we learn he was shot, along with his K9, during a routine traffic stop and is on medical leave from the force. As this novel begins, Rick has come back and garnered a position in Homicide.
Jenna Thompson is a cop from Baltimore with a past. She’s in Nashville trying to find answers about her history. An accomplished sketch artist, she’s asked to consult when the bones of a young child are found in a park.
If you enjoy thrillers I recommend this series.

The 2and book in the Morgan series deals with Childhood Trauma, mental illness and obsession. The Morgan family is the epitome of Southern Law Enforcement in a small town. The 2and oldest Rick was nearly killed in the line of duty and returned to the force after a lengthy rehabilitation. He's assigned to a case in which his younger sister brings in a talented but mysterious Sketch Artist to help solve a Cold Case. Great storyline.

underwhelming read with lots of inconsistencies

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2022

Verified Purchase

I have read and loved many other books by Mary Burton. I’m a fan of Ms Burton.

This book however fell short in many ways. It felt trite and lacking in intrigue, romance and depth. Add to it were all the inconsistencies and inaccuracies from the previous book in the series that other readers/reviewers have pointed out.

Georgia is blonde in the 1st book of the series. She’s now described as red haired (could have changed hair color, I suppose?)

KC was off visiting his son in the 1st book. According to this 2nd book in the series, he has no children.

The Morgan family home was inherited by all 4 Morgan children in book 1. In book 2, it’s said to be Deke’s and he gave it to his brother Rick.

Proofreading mistakes. For example: Jenna is eating at the pub with Rick. And the sentence incorrectly referenced “KC” enjoying the food.

The romance between Jenna and Rick seems unlikely and unbelievable. Jenna seemed cold and I found her very unlikable. I didn’t like how she slept with Mike and then just cut him off cold. Only to lust after Rick. Didn’t sit well with me.

The rift between Rick and his brother Alex was mentioned without any explanation in book 1 and early in this 2nd book. It made me feel like I had missed a book or a prequel. Then it’s explained in this book in a completely flat and anticlimactic way.

Overall, I tried to like this book. But was a very frustrating read. Could have been so much better.

Good story but poor delivery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

Good story. Pity about the loads and loads and loads of typos, inconsistencies, continuity and timeline errors. All noticed on a quick read. Where was the proofreader or editor who allowed it to be published like this? Also Georgia blonde in book 1, redhead in book 2 and strawberry blonde book 3. All 4 shared ownership Big House book 1 but deke sole owner at start of book 2.
Book should be free with all the errors. Surely experienced author should be better than this.

not as good as I'd hoped

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is the first book by Mary Burton that I have read and I bought it on the strength of the reviews on Amazon. Now I'm wondering if I have read the same book as everyone else. The story was not bad and generally quite readable, but I would not term it as "romantic suspense". Despite the body count there is not a great deal of suspense, and the "romance" comes very near the end, rather like an afterthought. However, the main problem with the book, which really spoiled it for me, was the large numbers of errors, both in the typography and in the narrative. You learn to expect a few mistakes of type-setting in mass market paperbacks, but here there were endless differences in the story. One of the characters was introduced as having dirty blonde hair, but a couple of paragraphs later she was a brunette. On another occasion the wrong character's name was used. And there were many more instances of poor or non-existent editing, which I regret I didn't note down at the time as I cannot find them again and don't intend to re-read the book to find them. It may seem trivial, but these errors really stood out to me, and coupled with the mediocre writing and plotline I shall not be ordering any more of Mary Burton's books.

Enjoying Mary Burton. Read two of the four I ordered. Reading the 3rd as we speak. Like to keep them in order to see the characters' lives develop.

The stories move along just at the right pace for me.

Liking the characters. Getting to know them.
