Daddy's Girls


Daddy's Girls by Sarah Flint. (DC Charlotte Stafford Series Book 5) Aria: Amazon Digital Services, LLC, 2019. 287 pages. ****

In this latest psychological thriller, D.C. Charlie Stafford has an odd case on her hands. And it may be her toughest one yet.

Thomas Houghton's wife dies and he blames his daughter, Emma, for her very existence, which he believes, contributed to his wife's death. Drugged, delusional, and broke, Tom believes he has seen his dead wife and she has returned to him. The fact that the woman doesn't seem to know him, doesn't deter him from visiting her.

A burglar who isn't interested in valuables, the subject of Operation Greystream, he visits his victims in the dead of the night, gloved and masked. He targets the elderly, he doesn't hurt them and, if they beg, he won't take anything of real value.

But then 87-year-old Florence Briarly is found by her friend, cold to the touch and neatly tucked into bed. And Charlie realizes this case has taken a sinister, urgent turn. Now this stealthy burglar has had a taste of murder, it's only a matter of time until he craves it again...

This series gets better and better and with more than one main plot; you just want to keep reading until the book is done. Flint's books may be read as a stand-alones; however, you will want to read them all. Flint is able to get into the perpetrator's and the victim's head which creates the tension within the story. In true psychological fiction fashion, there is an unexpected ending (no spoilers here) and I love it when I don't guess the identity of the killer. Full of surprises, I can't wait to see what Flint writes next!
