The Winter Foundlings: Alice Quentin 3 (Paperback)
Kate Rhodes (author)Published: 15/01/2015
Ella Williams is ten years old. She loves her granddad and her sister and her shiny new red shoes.
She's just been abducted by a killer - someone who kidnaps young girls, holds them for a few weeks then returns their bodies clothed in white foundling dresses.
The crimes are clearly linked to notorious child murderer Louis Kinsella, locked away in a high-security hospital. Is it a copycat? Or is he giving someone direct orders from behind bars?
To save Ella's life, psychologist Alice Quentin must form a relationship with Kinsella. But he is slow to give up his secrets, and all the while, time is running out...

MEDIA REVIEWS
An exciting story, very well told * Literary Review *
One of the most absorbing books I've read in a long time. Alice Quentin is such a warm character - unique, yet very real. I loved the sense of menace too - perfectly thrilling. -- Mel Sherratt, author of Taunting the Dead
One of those books that leaves the reader wanting more. The life of each character is so vividly painted that even those in minor roles become intriguing, and the pace never slackens from the first page to the last. -- Rachel Abbott, author of Only the Innocent
Atmospheric and suspenseful * Publishers Weekly *
Fans of the first two books starring Quentin won't be disappointed; the mood is rife with fear and sexual tension as Quentin and Burns attempt to catch a child killer before he strikes again * Library Journal *
The suspense...will have nighttime readers pushing their bedtime well past reasonable limits * Booklist *
Kate Rhodes is the queen of atmospheric suspense. Her murder mysteries are extremely creepy and intriguing. * Gumshoe Reviews *
