The killing just won’t stop as a ruthless psychopath revisits his greatest obsession—but this time, a Richmond, Virginia, homicide detective is determined to stop him in his bloody tracks . . .

An aspiring artist. A high-school senior. A stripper. Three missing women with only one thing in common—wealthy Craig Thornton knew them all. For that, they paid the ultimate price.

When Craig’s widow, Adrianna, begins to receive cards and flowers from her late husband, she assumes it’s someone’s cruel joke. Then grisly remains are found on the Thornton estate. Detective Gage Hudson believes the bodies are linked to Craig. But the biggest shocks are yet to come. A psychopath has resumed his work, each death a prelude to his most cherished target. The only way to stop him is to uncover a family’s dark past—and a twisted love someone will kill for, again and again…

Praise for the novels of Mary Burton

“Will have readers sleeping with the lights on.”
—Publishers Weekly on Before She Dies (starred review)

“Terrifying . . . this chilling thriller is an engrossing story.”

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 real page turner. Stayed up too late reading. But it's my vacation. There are unexpected twists in the plot. Always cheering for the good guys.

Good plot with twist and turns and as always great characters. I enjoyed this one the most so far. Now onto the next.

This Burton book had a different feel from the start. I didn't relate as well with the characters but that didn't take away from the story. I enjoyed getting a peak at past characters lives and really wish that more had been mentioned about Tess's brother and his family from book one. Another enjoyable read by this author.

No one probably cares but her books are full of grammatical errors! No editor? Or a bad editor! Things like "did he looked around", and " she still didn't do it yet". I cringe! But the stories are very good. Its impossible to know who the killer is until the last pages, which is somewhat rare in detective stories. I can't put her books down. Looking forward for the next book. Despite the irritating grammatical errors!

This has been an incredible series, and this book was no exception! A complex, twisted, suspenseful story that will hook you from the beginning. I have loved the characters in this series, the dry humor, unique stories, and the intriguing twists and turns that made it impossible to put down. It's definitely not a series that you'll want to miss! There's also another story in this series that isn't listed with the others. Christmas Past involves Nicole and David Ayden, and if you're like me and love this series, you are going to want to read it.
If you haven't already read this series, I would highly recommend that you start from the beginning. It will give you a better understanding of the characters, the connections, and the dynamics between all of them. They're all absolutely fantastic stories, and you definitely won't be disappointed!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and exceptional author.

I would love to see so much more from this series! Hopefully one day!

It took me so long to finish this one. I liked the series but this one dragged on and on. I'll see what else the author has for me lol

Let more start by saying I absolutely love Ms. Burton. I've read close to a dozen books so far. I an rating this a 4 start book simply because this storyline shares too many similarities with other stories. I'm usually a fan regardless of the same formula; however I do believe sprinkling a little creativity to the mix is also enticing.
Still a good read!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2022

Typical Mary Burton style, and I'm here for it!
This is a new set of main characters to me, although I'm familiar with the satellite characters. That's actually one of the aspects I like best about Burton's writing-- the constant change in perspective, even if you are seeing the same story again.
I guessed early on who was the likely killer, and I was right. I didn't, however, guess the twist early enough. Nor, did I guess the added twist until the very end.
Overall, a fun whodunnit with decent romantic scenes. Burton has written better.
The plot twists are ultimately why I rate this book 5 stars. I can't wait to read another.

Read via local elibrary before 2013 but review missing. Bought and re-read now. Really enjoyed it. There are some repetition issues and also slight errors e.g. Adrianna's car has flat tyre at hotel and she is given lift home yet next day she uses her car. No-one fixed the flat or retrieved her car.
