About this listen

DI Amy Winter knows evil. She’s lived through it.

Four-year-old Ellen is snatched by a stranger in the dead of night. Her devastated mother, Nicole, receives four identical phials and a threatening note in a familiar scrawl that chills her to the bone. But she always knew this would happen. She’s been expecting it for years....

According to the note, one of the phials is poisoned. Nicole is given a deadly challenge: if she drinks one, the sadistic kidnapper will notify the police of Ellen’s location. The sender claims to be Luka Volkov, but Luka is supposed to be dead, killed long ago in a fire that haunts all those involved.

DI Amy Winter is still reeling from the discovery that she is the daughter of a serial killer, and her childhood trauma only makes her more determined to bring Ellen home. When another child is taken, Amy finds herself in a race against time. To rescue the children, must she seek help from the one person she wants to forget.

Really enjoyed listening and felt the narrative around Amy followed on well from first book. She is a little frustrating though. Narrator works for this series but takes some getting used to. Would like to have heard what happened to the doctor!

Great sequel

Interesting concept for the story and well written - largely accurate procedurally other than the fact that a ‘kidnap’ would be dealt with by a highly specialist team 24/6 not a DI led squad! Otherwise, a decent story
Disappointed that the peripheral characters storylines were barely touched on given their prominence in the first book (eg her DS and her biological sisters relationship), but hopefully we’ll see that in the next book

Enjoying this series, looking forward to the next in the series

In this instalment Di Amy Young is not only battling a sensitive case but she is facing troubles in her personal life. She is just getting used having a sibling resurface that she thought was dead and is rebuilding that relationship, sadly her locked up in prison serial killer birth mother is still trying to derail everything and trying to pass herself off as a victim and is using whatever means to get to Amy (Aka Poppy via her biological mother) who was adopted at 4years old and renamed as Amy as par of her new life.

The case is about child abduction two children go missing. It is connected to a decorated scientist who is highly respected with honours etc. He and his team experimented on children using methods that could not be condoned, he never wants the secrets to get out. The parents of the missing children were part of team involved with the experiments and with each kidnapped child the parent receives four phials and they have to drink one to prove how much they love their child.

The kidnapper was one of the victim’s and he wants it all exposed. No one is taking him seriously so he takes drastic measures. Will his story be told in full? And as the hunt goes on Amy’s past is merging into her work, just what her serial killer Mum wants. Will Amy find the kidnapper? Will the experiments be exposed? Will the public get to know the secrets of Amy’s past? While everything is going on the Secret Child is in plain sight.
