Story
Running from a devastating relationship that almost cost her everything, Maddy Hart impulsively accepts a job as a live-in caretaker at imposing Lakeview House. She has no memories of having visited the crumbling mansion on the banks of Lake Thirlmere before, but when she arrives, something about the house feels familiar. The more time Maddy spends in the house, the more unsettled she feels. By day, she clears out the dusty rooms, but in the dead of night, it’s hard to explain away the eerie noises or crackly radio she hears hours after she turned it off.

Publisher's Summary
The beam shines around the dark room, lighting up the woman in sky-blue pajamas lying on the couch. But she doesn’t wake under the bright glow. She isn’t sleeping at all....
When a concerned neighbor reports a woman missing, Detective Morgan Brookes squeezes through the stiff front door to find the woman dead. At first, the case appears unsuspicious, but something about the scene unsettles Morgan. Every clock in the house has been stopped, every mirror covered, and the woman seems physically unharmed except for one missing lock of hair.
Shirley Kelly was loved by her friends and hated by her ex-husband and his new wife, but they have an iron-clad alibi, and Morgan is certain that the scene-staging holds a vital clue. She’s devastated to be proved right when another woman is killed, her home arranged in the same way. The only difference is that the second victim has been stabbed, using a knife from Shirley’s own kitchen....
The team can’t find a connection between the two women, but Morgan is sure there is a deadly pattern to the killer’s actions. She hunts through each woman’s past until she finds the link: Years ago, they both worked for a woman called Evelyn Reynolds, before tragedy struck her young family. But what has made them targets now? Morgan knows this twisted case is far from over. Can she find the final clue before the clock stops for the next name on the killer’s list?
Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Lisa Regan, and Rachel Abbott!

Never Bore Your Readers
Have read a number of Helen Paired books and generally enjoy them, but this particular series has an imbalance. The part of the writing that deals with the murder mystery itself is strong, but I am bored to tears by the romance between Morgan and Ben. There is a total absence of conflict in their relationship which goes against life experience. Understandable when they first got together, but now they're living together and Morgan, though still very young, is presumably maturing, I'm hoping for a more realistic presentation that will better balance the detection story at the center of the plot.
