Kaitlyn Roe is a podcaster who has returned to her hometown to solve a mystery. Fourteen years ago, Kaitlyn's cousin Gina was abducted by a masked man and never heard from again. Kaitlyn witnessed the abduction before running away to save herself. Kaitlyn has returned to interview Gina's friends to see if she can find new information to get the case reopened. Now one of the women that she interviewed has been found murdered. Detective John Adler believes that Kaitlyn has have woken a killer who now has her in his crosshairs.

This is a standalone romantic suspense story from Mary Burton. Many have listed it as part of her Criminal Profiler series, but it has nothing to do with that series.

I liked the way this story was told. Between each chapter we got to listen to Kaitlyn's podcast which was a series of interviews about the past. It was an effective way to catch us up on the backstory. The suspense story itself was OK; but didn't care for the romance at all. It felt like the author just threw it in as an afterthought. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
