NO ONE KNOWS THE MIND OF A KILLER LIKE EMMA KAVANAGH.

I've been watching you DS Alice Parr.

I saw you trying to save the poor young woman you found in the park.

The woman I tried to kill.

I've been waiting for you to find her family. To find someone who cares about her.

But you can't can you?

You've never had a case like this.

I know everything about you. You know nothing about me.

Even though I'm the man you're looking for.

And you will never catch me...

This was such a good book! I really enjoyed it, well written with a great plot and from what I can gather it continues into her next book. Definitely want to read more from this author.

Betrayal

⭐️⭐️

Aiden O'Hara has been head of the family since he was a kid, and he's going to keep it that way.

Jade Dixon watches his back. Mother of his son, she's the one who makes him invincible.

But Jade's been in the game a lot longer than Aiden. She knows no one's indestructible.

And when you're at the top, that's when you've got to watch the hardest.

Especially the ones closest to you . . .

I usually love a Cole book but this one just didn’t do anything for me! I found it kinda repetitive and predictable. Which is such a shame as I was so looking forward to it. I had no care for any of the characters at all I think it was kind of a cop out with Agnes and her part in this story I thought she could have been a bit more than she was. Overall it was just an ok read.

I really quite enjoyed listening to this book which was enhanced by the excellent narration of Sarah Durham who really brought the story and the characters to life. I haven't read or listened to anything by Elisabeth Carpenter before but if this is an example of her work, I won't be making that mistake again!

The story definitely kept me guessing and it was difficult to know who to trust; it's told from multiple points of view and from different timelines but once I was into the story, I found it quite easy to keep up.

I enjoyed the mystery and intrigue running throughout the book and the unravelling of secrets and lies until the very satisfying ending.

Overall, a really enjoyable audiobook and one I would recommend to lovers of domestic and/or psychological thrillers and my thanks goes to the Author, Bookouture Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The Family on Smith Street.
