About this listen

Holly Stewart moved into Solace House thinking it would be a fresh start for her and her family. She knew a tragic murder had taken place there, but she didn’t know the full ghastly history of the house.

Now, her husband has lost his job, the children are bullied at school, and someone is prowling around the garden at night. Someone who wants them gone.

Detective Jackman wants to help. Instead he’s been pulled into a 20-year-old cold case. The gruesome murder of a young woman whose head was never found. A new witness comes forward. He claims to have crucial evidence on what really happened that night.

Days later, a group of litter-pickers uncover black sacks containing dismembered human limbs. Attending the scene, DS Marie Evans is shocked to see a strange symbol carved into the victim’s flesh: the same symbol found on the headless girl all those years ago.

The murders must be connected. But why has the killer struck again — after 20years?

As the threats to the Stewart family escalate, Jackman must choose between helping people in the present and solving the crimes of the past.

Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you hooked until the explosive ending.

Can finally hand on heart, say, there were so many twists and turns this story, that i had to make frequent stops, for my brain to catch up with it all.
I dontblike metaphores like, gripping, page turnibg, plot twists and the like. But this was like a relentless face slapping, wondering where on earth that came from, and where you were going to be taken next. Much love characters were taken into the depths of the worst sides of human nature , narcissim, and also kindness and respect. A rollercoaster ride, if i may say so, for want of a better analogy. In short, brilliant, but tiring. Read it. Just Read it.
