Summary

The newspapers call them the Savages: a band of home invaders as merciless as they are stealthy. Usually they don't leave a clue. This time, they've left a body.The first victim is found sprawled on her kitchen floor, blood soaking the terracotta tiles. Before long, another corpse is discovered, dead of fright. As the toll rises, it's up to DC Ben Cooper and DS Diane Fry to track down the killers. But the enemy isn't who they think it is. Beneath the sinister shadow of the mountain ridge called the Devil's Edge, a twisted game is in play – a game more ruthless than the detectives can imagine…Packed with nerve-jangling suspense and moody atmosphere, The Devil's Edge is a thriller to rival the very best of Peter Robinson and Peter James.

Mediocre at best

I have read a few Stephen Booth books in the distant past and have always remembered them as very good reads. So the sheer monotony of this book was a huge surprise and disappointment.

The one redeeming factor was the excellent narration. The reader's velvety tones and versatile voices kept me listening. Otherwise I may even have returned the book.

Personally I would recommend Val Macdermid as a more compelling close alternative.

great story, well read

narrator was great, brought the story alive for me. I already liked the series in print, having it in audio is a great bonus

Poem or crime thriller?

If the rambling verses of poetry were removed, this would be a very short book. I realise that we need descriptive text in order to create our own imagery for the characters and scenes, but this writer takes it a step too far I feel. One forgets the story!

Slightly disappointed

I have listened to few books by this author and this was slightly disappointing.
He has written better books.
