Her shoes pinched as she shivered in the cold night air. She just wanted to get home. A taxi slowed to a halt next to her, and as she buckled her seat belt, she noticed the child's seat next to her and felt safe. But when she saw his eyes in the mirror, a shiver of terror shook her to her core...
When a young woman's body is found on a patch of wet grass in the early hours of the morning, Detective Lottie Parker mourns the young life so brutally snatched away. Looking at the victim's flimsy strappy top, damp from the dew and soaked with blood, it is clear that this young girl never came home from a night out. Lottie's heart breaks as she thinks of the girl's parents finding their daughter's empty bed and she vows to catch the murderer.
The young woman is soon identified as Laura Nolan, and Lottie watches the blood drain from her mother Diana's face when she tells her the terrible news. Diana reveals that Laura was on a date the night she was killed, but she doesn't know who with... and Laura's empty bedroom with make-up scattered across her dressing table offers no clues.
Lottie and her team rush to trace Laura's last moments. But hope at a potential breakthrough turns to horror for Lottie when another young woman, Shannon Kenny is reported missing, last seen climbing into a taxi with a broken light, close to the same bar.
But then, Lottie discovers a connection between Laura and Shannon that totally overturns everything she thought she knew. The killer didn't stalk these two young women at random. He knew exactly who they were and where they would be. But can Lottie stop him before he strikes again?
A completely compelling page-turner from bestselling author Patricia Gibney. If you like Rachel McLean, Kendra Elliott and Robert Dugoni, Her Last Walk Home will have you hooked.
