Detective Jackie Cooke All the Pretty Ones: A serial killer thriller with nail-biting suspense, Book 1, (Paperback)

The girl is sitting upright, her dark brown hair arranged over her shoulders and her blue, blue eyes staring into the distance. She looks almost peaceful. But her gaze is vacant, and her skin is cold...

Seventeen-year-old Chloe Smedley walks out of the school gates and waves to the person waiting for her across the road. She smiles and hurries towards them... and is never seen alive again.

Detective Jackie Cooke is first on the scene when Chloe's body is found, posed upright at a garden table. In her gut, Jackie knows she's searching for a monster and it's only a matter of time before they strike again, but no one will listen.

Chloe's distraught mother describes her as a happy, loving girl, and Jackie vows to find her killer, whatever the cost.

Then another body is found, posed in the same strange way. Sickened by the scene, Jackie returns home to find a multi-coloured friendship bracelet on her kitchen counter. Her blood runs cold. It's the same one her brother was wearing before he disappeared, nearly thirty years ago.

Jackie realises that only digging into her own past will let her catch the killer. But he is already watching her every move... can she stop him before he strikes again?

An absolutely gripping crime thriller that will keep you racing through the pages. Fans of Kendra Elliott, Rachel McLean and Val McDermid will love All the Pretty Ones.

This book was previously published as The Lost Ones.
