About this listen

One terrible case always haunted detective Matt Ballard. Now many years later, the killer seems to be back. And this time he's after Matt.

When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught.

Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

Then another murder happens, with some of the hallmarks of the old case. Has the killer returned, or is this just a sick copycat determined to ruin Matt's life and reputation?

Unfortunately , I did find the reading style off-putting: sounded rather like my Sat nav.

Good story, less good reading.

The narration felt like I was listening to a children’s story as it was so over the top. It really spoiled the enjoyment - the intonation was so unnatural.

Horrible narration spoiled story

Love the author, great story but the narrator was shocking! awful accents, listen in small doses and you'll get through what is a really good story.
