This book was a little different from the first five in that we get more of the police work and less from Josie's personal life. I'll admit that I kind of missed Gretchen, Trinity and Misty, but I am glad that Noah is back to his usual self (he took a personality detour in the last book). I like the main couple but I'm hoping for some stronger chemistry between them.
This was a solid mystery and a good addition to this series and if readers are patient, all the pieces of the puzzle fall into place for a satisfying ending. I recently won a copy of the 21st book and look forward to reading the ample backlist and catching up on everything that is happening in Denton. [I strongly recommend reading this series in order]
This is a good series if you want something you can slip into for a solid and tense suspense story with a strong female main character who is struggling with her own demons.
Read-Alike Series Suggestions: Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series and Melinda Leigh's Bree Taggart series.

Book Description from GoodReads: Round and round she goes, blonde pigtails flying, her high-pitched giggle catching on the wind. But as the ride slows to a stop, her seat is suddenly empty. Little Lucy is gone…
When seven-year-old Lucy Ross is snatched from the carousel in Denton city park, Detective Josie Quinn joins the frantic search. She’s the one who finds Lucy’s sparkly butterfly backpack abandoned by the ticket booth, a note with a devastating message stuffed inside: answer your phone, or your sweet little darling will die…
The next day, Lucy’s parents are filled with hope when they pick up a call which they think is from their babysitter – but instead it’s a chilling male voice on the line. Josie races to the babysitter’s small apartment only to find her lifeless body in a tangle of sheets on her bed.
Josie is faced with the most high-stakes case of her career as each new phone call from someone connected to the family ends with the shocking discovery of another body. This twisted killer wants revenge, and he won’t stop until the Ross family are in pieces…
Something is telling Josie that Lucy’s parents aren’t giving her the whole truth, but digging deeper into their lives will force her to confront a life-changing secret of her own. Does Josie have what it takes to crack this case? She has no choice if she’s going to bring Lucy home alive…
