Bad Mother by Mia Sheridan
From New York Times bestselling author Mia Sheridan comes the twisted story of one detective’s pursuit of a serial killer who’s taunting her…and the familiar connection between them that’s haunting her.
When Sienna Walker is nearly fired from the NYPD, the last thing she expects is a second chance in the one place she vowed never to return to. But she can’t afford to turn down the job offer, even if a painful familial past and a broken engagement hardly make Reno, Nevada, home sweet home.
It’s made even less sweet by Sienna’s first case―a serial killer with a curious fixation on her. Along with his victims, the killer leaves perplexing clues and chilling journal entries addressed to Sienna detailing the murders he claims his mother committed. The case continues to get personal when her ex-fiancé is called out by the killer as well. Whoever’s behind the diabolical murders, Sienna can only be sure of one thing…it’s someone close to home.
As the twisted truth forces Sienna to face her complicated feelings, she learns that no matter how far you run from your past, it always catches up to you in the end.

A cleverly-written story that keeps us guessing for a good long while!
Sienna Walker is back in Reno after leaving eleven years earlier with a broken heart. However, she doesn't have much time to dwell on the past when she's called to a murder scene on her first night. It's a murder that will bring her face to face with Gavin Decker, the one she thought she'd spend the rest of her life with. It's a murder that is just the first loose thread that unravels some shocking secrets from the past; a history that is far too close to home.
This story was a great balance between suspense and romance. I loved the second chance that Sienna and Gavin had, and how they resolved what had happened to them in the past. Their unacknowledged feelings hovered beneath every interaction they had. I was engrossed in the murder story, and the puzzles and clues that needed to solved. And, the ending! There was pathos and symmetry and tears. Such a fantastic read!
