About this listen

A slap cut through the silence. She felt nothing, but heard whimpering somewhere else in the room. A scuffling sound crossed the floor towards her. She felt a hand on her arm, and then a quiet voice whispered in her ear, ‘I’m sorry.’

On a damp October day, a body is found in an abandoned hospital, too burnt to be identified, but detective Alex King knows that every victim is someone’s daughter or son.

Pushing aside her own troubles, Alex puts everything into finding the killer, but when someone else is found dead, she begins to suspect that the body in the hospital was just the first of many.

Just as Alex uncovers a heart-breaking link between the victims, she finds her own safety under threat. Is this a figure from her past hell-bent on revenge, or could the murderer be even closer than she thinks?

Alex is running out of time. Can she catch the killer before they take another life, or will they get to her first?

An absolutely unputdownable detective thriller that will keep you up all night. Fans of Robert Bryndza, Karin Slaughter and Angela Marsons will love this.

I quite enjoyed this book although there were alot of characters to try and follow, which got a little confusing at times.
I do enjoy the banter between the main characters King & Lane and i hope that the author explores the chemistry between them and the sub characters in upcoming novels in the series.

As for the actual story. I found it to be a slow burner, it took me a while to get in to, but when i did, i very much enjoyed it and i was not expecting what happened at the end.

Overall - definitely worth a read!

Slow burner - confusing at times - good twist.
