About this listen

When a new lead in a cold case comes to light, Detective Anna Travis faces the biggest challenge of her career. Five years ago, a teenage girl disappeared in broad daylight on a busy street and the mystery has haunted Anna's boss Langton, who led the original investigation, for years.

With a confession to this murder and one more besides, Langton believes he finally has his man—but Anna isn't so sure. With a lack of evidence, the confession is critical to the arrest. And when the suspect changes his story, it looks like the case could fall apart. Can Anna and Langton find the evidence they need before the trail once again goes cold?

what a gripping story. Backlash has, di far, been one of 4 of my all time LLP stories. Gritty, gruesome, but with some very funny lines throughout. An absolute must read. Bravo 👏

Listened to all books and was so disappointed in the change of narrators and lack of character voice difference found it hard to follow

Narration poor

Narrator: Kristin Atherton

This is a good story but is a bit long winded and drawn out.
I did find Langdon very annoying as he kept involving himself and interfering in the case.

Kristin Atherton does a good job with the narration.
