EDITORIAL REVIEW: ********SHE NEVER REALIZED JUST HOW PERFECT…**Single parenthood is challenging enough for Zoe Hayes, raising a young daughter in Queen Village, a Philadelphia suburb whose homes--like its residents--have seen better days. Then comes the blustery afternoon when little Molly makes a shocking discovery while playing outdoors: a dismembered finger. **HER IMPERFECT LIFE REALLY WAS…**What Zoe longs to believe is a gruesome fluke quickly takes on unsettling significance. One by one, young nannies are vanishing from the neighborhood, falling victim to a shadowy killer. Uneasily drawn into the chilling case--and an unexpected relationship--by enigmatic Detective Nick Stiles, Zoe assumes she and Molly are safe. But then terror strikes close to home. **UNTIL SHE FOUND IT IN JEOPARDY… **Now, Zoe must accept that nobody in Queen Village is protected. A bloodthirsty predator lurks nearby, perhaps concealed behind a passing stranger's friendly smile, a longtime neighbor's front door--or, as Zoe fears most, perhaps even nearer than that...**"Absolutely fantastic."****--*****Midwest****** Book Review*************"A page-turning success…hard to put down."****--*****Dallas****** Morning News***** **
