This is the third book in The Shadow of Daddy Serial Thriller. A serial is a collection of books intended to be read in order. Each book is a sequential instalment of a larger story presented in bite size pieces, like a mini-series on TV.
Fleeing the Shadow continues the story in the eight-book serial of the heroine’s determination to protect her preschoolers. Based on a true story, it was cases like this criminal thriller that shaped significant legal changes. Actual court transcripts and exhibits of the legal proceedings were used.
Throughout this serial, the reader follows not only the development of the criminal case but the personal transformation of the family members, their parenting and relationship styles, and the slow unravelling of their secret lives. Digging deeper, the book emphasises the delusional psychological state of one of the main characters and the impact on others.
The marriage was far from perfect but attempts to remedy the situation led Julie and her preschoolers deeper into the psychological thriller they had left behind.
As the criminal evidence mounted against her ex-husband, a bizarre sequence of events unfolded in which her former spouse used the courts to outmaneuver Julie at every turn.
Betrayal by the legal system that Julie had assumed would protect her children, led Julie in desperation to consider alternatives.
