Summary

A brutal triple murder. An abandoned psychiatric hospital. And a dark family secret.

Fatal Return is the bloody opening to the Fatal psychological thriller series by Alex Hansen - an Audible Original.

When her father suffers a heart attack, forensic psychologist Gilian moves back from New York to Rochester - much to the annoyance of her pubescent daughter Christina. The moving boxes are not even unpacked when the expert is already called to a crime scene: Sergeant Ryan Moore needs her support to solve a brutal triple murder in the woods of Devil's Bathtub. The joint investigation reopens an old wound in Gilian - for the two workaholics are bound by more than just their unwavering sense of justice.

i wish there was more stress on the police investigation. I know it was about the psychologist finding her past. However, there was a series of major crimes to be solved. I would also have appreciated finding out what occurred to the very nasty docto. The story just ended yet there was this abusive rapist and torturer man. Did he just go home, or was he held to account?

relationship development, but unsatisfactory ending.

I wish the reader could have paused a bit more between sections as I found that I had to replay bits more than once, not realising she'd moved on to another chapter. A bit confusing. I don't know how much it affected my enjoyment of the story but I can't say that was the best.

The story is good, but the narrator is stilted in many places, there is no flow unfortunately.
