Summary
He looked down at the little girl, sleeping peacefully, her arms wrapped around a teddy bear. He knew he was the only one who could save her. He could let her sleep forever.
An eight-year-old girl, Chelsea Compton, is missing in Pine Valley, California, and for Detective Katie Scott it’s a cruel reminder of the friend who disappeared from summer camp 20 years ago. Unable to shake the memories, Katie vows she won’t rest until she discovers what happened to Chelsea.
But as Katie starts to investigate, the case reveals itself to be much bigger and more shocking than she feared. Hidden deep in the forest she unearths a makeshift cemetery: a row of graves, each with a brightly colored teddy bear.
Katie links the graves to a stack of missing-persons cases involving young girls - finding a pattern no one else has managed to see. Someone in Pine Valley has been taking the town’s daughters for years, and Katie is the only one who can stop them.
And then another little girl goes missing, snatched from the park near her home.
Katie’s still haunted by the friend she failed to protect, and she’ll do anything to stop the killer striking again - but can she find the little girl before it’s too late?
Compulsive and gripping crime fiction for fans of Lisa Regan, Rachel Caine, and Melinda Leigh. Katie Scott’s first case will have you on the edge of your seat and gasping with shock.

Good book
Don't know why it was better than I expected. I wish it had been a bit longer.

Enjoyable
I really enjoyed listening to this book. Katie has just returned from Afghanistan and is not sure what her future holds. Her uncle is the local Sheriff and he arranges for her to work in an administrative position whilst she contemplates her next step. Katie accidentally sees a file on a missing girl, a cold case, which sets her imagination running and she is determined to find the missing girl and solve the case. She is not scared of anything or anyone having been in a war zone which is just as well as she uncovers some awful truths. I am hoping there will be a book 2 in the series. As a side note there is definitely more to Templeton than meets the eye!

Little girls sleeping by Jennifer Chase
Sensational book from beginning to the end. I had a suspect that I thought might be the guilty party. I was totally wrong.. I not going to give any spoilers. This book is a must have read. I look forward to more in the series

“Little Girls Sleeping: An absolutely gripping crime thriller”?
No! First, please don’t add an opinion to the book title, you have to hear it every time you start listening! “Gripping crime thriller”? No. I’m sorry, this was about an arrogant, egotistical woman but she was supposed to be out on a limb, unsettled, unsure of herself. I have to stop finishing books.
Unlikable, 2D characters, disjointed storyline, no tension. A grown up Scooby-doo!

An absolutely boring crime thriller
Probably the worst thing in my whole library
The main protagonist of the story is super unlikeable. Can’t even remember the ending.

Awful beyond belief. A waste of a credit
There is so much wrong with this audio story it’s frightening.
The narrator’s way of dramatising the story is awful, there is no drama or feeling in the dictation. The words sound flat and her tone was irritating.
The actual story reads like a 10 year old wrote it. It has so many cliches and unnecessary reflections I winced repeatedly.
It was so bad I fast forwarded to the last couple of paragraphs just to find out the name of the killer and stop the misery of having to listen to anymore.
I’m just glad it’s all over. I won’t be listening to any more books by this author.
