There Once Was A Child by Debra Webb

A sexual predator recently released from prison is missing…there’s blood on the floor—but there are two blood types. Is he a victim of revenge or has another of Nashville’s children gone missing? 
Joseph Fanning stole and abused seventeen children. Recently released after serving his time, now he’s gone missing. Detective Olivia Newhouse and her partner, Walt Duncan, have a duty to do all within their power to find him—just as they would for any other citizen. The first step is to make a list of possible suspects and the logical names to start with are Fanning's victims. Those seventeen children are now adults and more than one would like to see Joseph Fanning dead. 
As Olivia and Walt dig deeper into the case their own lives begin to unravel. The fragile threads of discovery start to twist and tangle until nothing is as it seems. 
When the one victim who knows the whole truth is revealed, no one will be the same. 

Review: After reading an ARC of There Once Was A Child by Debra Webb my mind is still trying to wrap around what I just read because it was a so good took you on such on emotional ride.
With this book you felt for every one of the three main characters: Liv, Walt and The Child and each one took you on their own journey in this book and that is what made this one of Debra Webb's best books yet.
Walt was dealing the loss of his wife and his morality. Liv is dealing with so much loss in her life and can't figure out what she really wants. Then The Child is dealing with being abused. All very deep subjects that Webb handled with class.
I am not going to get into the book and deeper but I will say this is a must read. There Once Was A Child gets five out of five stars.
