Publisher Description
Grab a badge and a gun and strap in for an absolutely gripping ride that’s “full of suspense from the beginning to the end…” (Readers Abode)
She could feel him watching her… Though every time she turned to look, there was no one there. The rest of the world thought she was going crazy—until it was too late.
When Laura Saunders is found strangled with a man’s necktie, Detective Madison Knight is assigned the case. Her sergeant at the Stiles Police Department wants her to conclude it was an isolated incident and move on with the investigation, but Madison’s not the type to cave under pressure. She’s haunted by certain unexplainable clues at the crime scene, including the presence of a mysterious photograph. Madison believes the picture may somehow tie into the murder, but before she can dig into it, another woman’s body is discovered in a local park. Heather Nguyen was also murdered with the same brand of necktie that had been used on Laura.
On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be anything beyond the way they were killed that connects the women. But as Madison delves into the lives of the victims, she unravels a web of deceit and betrayal and lays bare decades of deadly family secrets. Edging closer to the truth, Madison’s quite sure at least one more woman is slated to die. But can Madison piece together all the clues in time to save her?
A gripping crime thriller full of heart-pounding twists. Perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, J.D. Robb, and Lisa Regan.

Customer Reviews
Great story line..
I couldn’t relate to the main female detective, has a sidekick but never lets him lead, he is just a tag along ..I am reading the follow on, maybe I will warm to her by the end...but good reading anyway...
Ties That Bind
This book was too silly for words even down to the title. The conversations, if you can call them that, the supposed banter between the two detectives, the interrogations were so unrealistic as to be laughable. Twins separated at birth. Oh dear. I had to give it one star to be able to submit the review; I would have liked to give it negative stars.
Don’t waste your time. Unreadable.
Absolutely terrible writing. Not edited properly.
The characters and the dialogue are are so poor, it’s as if the author has a child’s grasp of human interactions.
Arnold sells herself on her knowledge of police procedure, and maybe she does have good expertise, but the books are lousy so don’t waste your time.
