Killing Beauty - Kim Antieau

Unfinished is the worst kind of business, and newly minted ex-cop Katie Kelly can do without the reminders of a shocking crime from 30 summers ago. Katie’s return to Beauty Falls triggers a round of soul-searching and painful memories of the time when she and five other teens went into the forest and only five came out alive. 

Questions remain about what exactly happened that night and why. But Katie has to put those concerns on hold. A young girl is kidnapped, and a woman from Katie’s past claims to have just shot and killed her own children in that same forest they all entered 30 years earlier.

Past and present collide as Katie employs all her skills in a race against time to save the endangered children of Beauty Falls.
