Detective D.D. Warren is called to the scene of a mass-murder. At first glance, it looks like a father has killed his three children and wife before taking his own life. As D.D. and her crew look into possible motives, they discover another family massacred. Is it just a coincidence? Or are these murders somehow tied together?

This story is told by three women. D.D. Warren is the cop investigating two murder-suicide cases. Victoria is a mother of a troubled child she is afraid will someday kill her. Danielle is a nurse in the pediatric psych ward. She is also the lone survivor or a murder-suicide when she was a child.

This is a very dark story in the D.D. Warren series. Some of the scenes concerning the mentally disturbed children were a bit hard to read. I liked that each chapter was told by a different character. Both Victoria and Danielle were sympathetic characters. I felt like I didn't learn anything new about D.D. even though this is the fourth books she has appeared in. My rating: 4 Stars.
