Shatter

This is the first I had heard of this author and I am very impressed.
The story has well rounded characters and moves along at a gripping pace. I listened to it more quickly than I've listened to other books, mainly because I was so drawn in to the story.
It certainly isn't a 'relax before you go to sleep' story!
The narration is excellent.
Of you enjoy Peter James' books I'm sure you'll like this.
I would thoroughly recommend this book and I shall be downloading more by this author..

I used to think that crime books were 'two-a-penny' and I normally stay well away from the genre to avoid the disappointment of repeated cliches and predictable plots. But here is something different...

I clicked on the preview by chance and then risked the credit and found myself drawn into one of the best audio books I've ever downloaded.

The plot and character development are flawless and Sean Barrett's narration is top-notch!

Written in the first-person, the book alternates between 'good' and 'bad' and the style is both captivating and addictive. The book subtly digs its claws in at the beginning and then simply refuses to let you go. I got to a point where I simply could not stop listening until it was finished.

A Word of Warning! - Definitely not for the faint-hearted. The book is shocking at times (our 'bad guy' is really bad!) and some of the dialogue had me gasping out loud. How can someone be so cruel?

Warnings aside, this is a well polished, superbly narrated and credible story that is well worth a listen and I for one will be downloading some more from the same author / narrator.

If you only read one then this is THE one.

Could not stop listening... bedtime, care, washing up, totally enthralled.

When are we going to get more like this on Audible.
Naration superb..but then I love books read by Sean Barret

We had never come across this author before, but couldn't wait to finish it, it was gripping,exciting and well paced. Loaned it to my parents, they were listening to it just about all day until they had finished it. Didn't want it to end. will get more by this author.

The first book I have read from this author and was totally absorbed by it. Brilliant reading, as ever, by Sean Barrett. I liked the central character and had great sympathy for him. Not so for his wife! Off to buy another now.

I chose Shatter after I had listened to Lost by the same author. Lost is an excellent read which I would recommend to anyone, this book maintains the very high standard.
It has a very solid and plausible plot which keeps you hooked... and guessing !
I agree that it is a gripping book which you just can't put down, I would thoroughly recommend it.
I am now off to find my next Michael Robotham book !!

This book had me gripped from the start. The story didn't always take the turns I wanted it to and is pretty chilling. This was the first Michael Robotham book I have read - it will certainly not be the last.

I downloaded this after enjoying Lost by the same author

it maintains the very high standard gripping and credible

My first audible title and turned out to be a great selection from the vast number of those available. It had me gripped from the first minute and kept me wanting to listen to more each time I pressed the play button.

Story was excellent as was the narration. I felt for the innocent and wanted to get my hands on the 'baddy'.

Highly recommended.

I nearly gave up at the beginning of the book as I was annoyed by the clich?d depiction of academics and a women police-officer as well as the apparent carelessness of the writer not to check that you don't start training as a clinical psychologist as a university fresher. You have to have a psychology degree first and then you do post graduate training. The supposed introductory lecture to the psychology course was laughable. Now that I've got that off my chest I have to say that it is a riveting story, though shocking at times, it keeps one listening. The book improved as it went along and by the end had me thinking about how a person can become inured to cruelty by circumstances such as war: a topical issue.
