I'm Detective Emily Rodriguez, and I've seen my fair share of wealthy families with secrets to hide. But none as intriguing as the Willowbrooks. I'd been called to their estate, Willowbrook Manor, to investigate the mysterious death of the family patriarch, Henry Willowbrook. As I stepped out of my car and onto the driveway, I could feel the weight of the family's history bearing down on me.
Henry's children, James and Emily, stood by the door, their faces pale and worried. Their mother, Catherine, hovered in the background, her eyes flashing with a mix of grief and suspicion. And then there was the family lawyer, Mr. Jenkins, who seemed to be hiding secrets of his own.
As I began to question the family, I realized that each of them had a motive for the murder. James, the eldest son, stood to gain the most from his father's inheritance. Emily, the daughter, had a history of drug addiction and debt. And Catherine, the matriarch, had a reputation for ruthlessness in business.
But as I dug deeper, I discovered that Henry's death was just the tip of the iceberg. A web of lies, deceit, and family secrets threatened to destroy the very fabric of the Willowbrook family. And I was determined to unravel it all, no matter the cost.
We're all running away from something. Question is, can we escape it?
Eleanor Price has a traumatic past that she's spent her life trying to hide. After she successfully joins the FBI's Behavioural Analysis Unit, she convinces herself that she's finally moved on and the skeletons will stay in the closet.
But ten years later, when she's called back to her home town for an abduction case, can she keep her demons at bay? Or will all hell break loose?
One would've thought that keeping your true feelings hidden was easy. Heck, she'd been doing it her whole life. But when Spencer Reid pushes through her emotionless facade, will he be the one to calm the storm? Or will he too fall victim to her torturous past?
Fear loves to play, but sometimes nightmares need to be forgotten to be able to save lives. Wouldn't you agree?
Secrets untold and a past relived, can Eleanor make it through this case without shutting down? Or will some monsters be harder to fight than others?
