Summary

The third book in Michael Wood’s darkly compelling crime series featuring DCI Matilda Darke. Perfect for fans of Peter James, Lee Child and Karin Slaughter.

Eight killers. One house. And the almost perfect murder....

Starling House is home to some of the nation’s deadliest teenagers, still too young for prison.

When the latest arrival is found brutally murdered, DCI Matilda Darke and her team investigate, and discover a prison manager falling apart and a sabotaged security system. Neither the staff nor the inmates can be trusted.

The only person Matilda believes is innocent is facing prison for the rest of his life. With time running out, she must solve the unsolvable to save a young man from his fate, and find a murderer in a house full of killers....

Critic reviews

"You can count on Michael Wood to deliver a deliciously twisted and intriguing plot, leading to a surprise ending by a likeable and very real protagonist, Matilda Darke." (Yrsa Sigurdardottir)

"A pitch-black concept, tightly delivered and played at exhilarating pace." (Paul Finch)

Love it- very enjoyable

Very good writing, I changed my mind on numerous occasions as to who the murder was. Really enjoyed the book and Matilda seemed to pick up a bit and a lot less maudlin.

Easy Listening Crime

Love the DCI Matilda Dark books, easy to listen and follow the story, and great that they are set in Sheffield area. I always wonder what Sian has in her snack drawer. I always end one book and can't wait to start the next one.

love this series

Working my way through this series of books and enjoying everyone.
It may just be me but the narrator sounds like shes too close to the microphone. I can hear every breath and each time she swallows. Im new to audio books so may just be me. I have never noticed that in any other book. Love how she tells the story though.

Matilda Darke Series is fantastic!

Really enjoying this series, Well narrated. Twists turns , intrigue what ifs , could be's and everything I between.
Great narrative with characters becoming more and more familiar with every book.
An ever unfolding mystery that keeps you guessing with every turn of the page.

Highly recommended.

Norfolk isn’t in the West Country

Please narrators when paid to be reading a book where several of the characters come from Norfolk, please do your homework and give them a Norfolk accent!! Not a West Country accent. Or better still if unsure, don’t do one at all. Norfolk is NOTHING LIKE West Country. Great book. Great story. Almost ruined by truly terrible accents.

First class crime fiction !!!

I was engrossed from the beginning to the end. I really like Matilda Darke and her friends and colleagues. The story twists and turns and just when I thought I understood it off we went in another direction.

The one thing I will say is 'the end' got me

I think that Stephanie Beattie was, yet again, brilliant at her narration.

I have just bought the next book, The Hangman's Hold and I'll probably get through as quick as the others Haha

Highly recommended
