About this listen

 WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE SAFE,
WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE ALL ALONE,
THAT'S WHEN HE'LL COME FOR YOU...

A silent killer stalks the city, targeting those home alone at night, playing a deadly game of cat and mouse with the victims.

As panic spreads, Detective Inspector Helen Grace leads the investigation, but is herself a hunted woman, her every step shadowed by a ruthless psychopath bent on revenge.

As she tracks the murderer, Grace begins to suspect there is a truly shocking home truth that connects these brutal crimes. But what she will find is something more twisted than she could ever suspect...

Check the windows, lock the doors - this is a twisted page-turner that will prey on your darkest fears, in the way only M.J. Arlidge can.

Critic reviews

Terrifying and wildly compelling in equal measure. Nobody does chilling suspense quite like MJ Arlidge, and Cat & Mouse is a superb addition to the Helen Grace series.
All stars
Most relevant
I really like this series although the sloppy research does grate at times. The way some areas in Southampton are described is way off and a bit of basic research would have shown that the largest cargo ships in the world only have a crew of 25. Also a phone signal would be available for quite some time, certainly all the way down the Solent.

Lots of twists

Another fantastic Helen Grace instalment which is superbly narrated.

When DI Grace goes after a serial killer in Southampton she couldn't prepare for the aftermath that follows. Hunted by a previous criminal and attacked several times a man she believes to be paid by Blyth, Helen nonetheless continues her hunt for the serial.killer attacking people at home.

Brilliant

Another well penned Helen Grace story, managed to finish it in 2 days. Full of twists and turns, Helen and Charlie are probably my all time favourite characters! if you've read the previous books be sure to download this!!
