    "description": "The beam shines around the dark room, lighting up the woman in sky-blue pyjamas lying on the couch. But she doesn\u2019t wake under the bright glow, she isn\u2019t sleeping at all\u2026\n\nWhen a concerned neighbour reports a woman missing, Detective Morgan Brookes squeezes through the stiff front door to find the woman dead. At first, the case appears unsuspicious, but something about the scene unsettles Morgan. Every clock in the house has been stopped, every mirror covered, and the woman seems physically unharmed except for one missing lock of hair.\n\nShirley Kelly was loved by her friends and hated by her ex-husband and his new wife, but they have an iron-clad alibi, and Morgan is certain that the scene-staging holds a vital clue. She\u2019s devastated to be proved right when another woman is killed, and her home arranged in the same way. The only difference is that the second victim has been stabbed, using a knife from Shirley\u2019s own kitchen\u2026\n\nThe team can\u2019t find a connection between the two women, but Morgan is sure that there is a deadly pattern to the killer\u2019s actions. She hunts through each woman\u2019s past until she finds the link: years ago, they both worked for a woman called Evelyn Reynolds, before tragedy struck her young family. But what has made them targets now? Morgan knows this twisted case is far from over, can she find the final clue before the clock stops for the next name on the killer\u2019s list?",
