Patch has seriously upped her game with the first book in her latest series, <strong>Strange Crimes Unit, South Division<\/strong>. Most readers might want to avoiding reading <em>Her Darkest Secret<\/em> right before bedtime or when home alone at night. This intense novel is more than a little creepy and could create nightmares for those who are sensitive.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong, this is NOT a graphic or gruesome story. BUT the idea of a stalker\/killer who leaves nursery rhymes and a goose feather with his victims is definitely not normal. On the surface <em>Her Darkest Secret<\/em> is what the title says \u2013 dark, but as we Christians know, darkness is overcome by the light. This story is all about how that light overcomes the darkness.<\/p>\n<p>A second chance romance plays a minor role in this awesome tale of forgiveness and redemption. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this book and can\u2019t wait for the next installment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18375 aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a digital copy of this book provided by the author through Netgalley.

Almost two decades ago, a feather was left with her sister\u2019s body\u2014and with every subsequent victim of the Nursery Rhyme Killer. Now he\u2019s back. Only this time, his latest gruesome murder is a message to the only one who ever got away: Fiona.<\/p>\n<p>Finding \u201cRhyme\u201d is an obsession that\u2019s fueled Fiona\u2019s career\u2014and destroyed her marriage to fellow FBI agent Asa Kodiak. Now Fiona and Asa have to put their past tensions aside and work together one last time. But Rhyme is watching, and catching this killer may force Fiona to reveal her biggest, darkest secret\u2026the one only he knows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coming June 2022!
