Don't Open the Door: A Novel (Regan Merritt Series, 2)

"Downright spectacular. A riveting page turner as prescient as it is purposeful." -Providence Journal on Tell No Lies

A family torn apart. A botched investigation. She'll stop at nothing to get answers.

US Marshal Regan Merritt never bought the FBI's theory that her ten-year-old son's murder was tied to her job. Yet as leads went cold, she'd had to walk away from the marshals, the case and her now ex-husband, Grant, who blamed her for Chase's death.

After Regan receives a chilling voice mail from her former boss, Tommy, claiming new information about Chase's murder, she can no longer stay away from her pain-filled past. Especially when Tommy's murdered before she can return his call.

Now more than ever, Regan's determined to find the truth, but the more she digs, the more evidence points to Grant as the killer's true target. But Grant isn't talking. As she tries to pin down her ex, Regan discovers something much bigger and far more sinister is at play-and she's running out of people she can trust.

Someone's killed Tommy, Regan's boss before she retired from being a US Marshal- and now the information he claimed to have about the identity of the person who killed her son Chase is gone forever. Or is it? Regan has been living with her father since her marriage to Grant fell apart in the aftermath of Chase's death and trying to keep it together. This killing sets her off on a quest for answers, a journey Grant joins because he's invested too. There are some good twists here but the novel rises on the characters, especially Regan. Although this is the second in the series, it will be fine as a standalone because Brennan has included key back story. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC. A good read- and no spoilers from me.
