Summary

A brilliant psychologist faces the secrets and lies of her own dark past in a shocking novel of suspense by the Washington Post and Amazon Charts bestselling author of A Familiar Sight。

“Gretchen…What have you done？”

Psychologist and criminologist Dr。 Gretchen White， top consultant for the Boston PD， has solved countless cases—but never her own。 Since the age of eight， she has lived her life thinking she killed her aunt。 After all， she was found standing over the body， clutching a bloody knife。 Most people， including Detective Patrick Shaughnessy， believe the little sociopath got away with murder。 Thirty years later， Detective Lauren Marconi wants to prove them wrong。

When plucking at the threads of the past unravels a decades-old case tied to the White family， both Lauren and Gretchen grapple with the question， What if Gretchen really is guilty？ As old secrets come to light and Gretchen’s lifelong grip on her darkest impulses threatens to erode， Shaughnessy is there watching， waiting for her to lose control one more time。

Everyone thinks they know what happened that night。 But the truth is beyond what anyone imagines—even Gretchen herself。

Dr Gretchen White is a psychologist and criminologist working with the Boston PD， but she's never been able to sole her own case。 When she was eight， she was found standing over the body of her aunt， holding a bloody knife。 The Detective on her case believed she was guilty。 Thirty years later， another Detective wants to prove that she's innocent。This book was superbly written， I will now need to read the first book in this series， I can't wait to read what Gretchen is up to。 Dr Gretchen White is a psychologist and criminologist working with the Boston PD， but she's never been able to sole her own case。 When she was eight， she was found standing over the body of her aunt， holding a bloody knife。 The Detective on her case believed she was guilty。 Thirty years later， another Detective wants to prove that she's innocent。This book was superbly written， I will now need to read the first book in this series， I can't wait to read what Gretchen is up to。 。。。more

Excellent as usualI LOVE all of this author’s books and this one was no exception。 The plot is absolute genius and is a standard other authors should strive to reach。 Gretchen is unpredictable， intelligent， and a character you want to root for， even when you hate her guts。 Marconi provides an excellent balance for Gretchen and their relationship is something that I enjoyed immensely。 I can’t wait to read more of this series！
