About this listen

 'This page-turning series never lets the reader down’ HARLAN COBEN

IN A PROFESSION LIKE THIS, YOU'RE BOUND TO MAKE ENEMIES . . .

An eye . . .

It all starts when Dr Temperance Brennan finds a box on her porch. Inside is a fresh human eyeball with GPS coordinates etched into it. They lead her to a macabre discovery in a Benedictine Monastery, and soon after she discovers a mummified corpse in a state park.

. . . for an eye

There seems to be no pattern to these killings, except that each mimics a killing connected to something a younger Tempe experienced, or barely escaped. Someone is targeting her, and she needs to figure out why before they strike again.

And then her daughter Katy disappears.

Someone is playing a dangerous game with Tempe. And they won’t stop until they have taken everything from her . . .

Electrifying, heart-stopping and compulsive, this is Tempe’s most personal and dangerous case yet . . .

PRAISE FOR KATHY REICHS

‘A thing of clever beauty – smart, scary, complicated, and engrossing from the first sentence' MICHAEL CONNELLY

‘Reanimates all the ghosts from Temperance Brennan’s forensic past until they thoroughly haunt her present . . . This page-turning series never lets the reader down’ HARLAN COBEN

‘Masterfully constructed’ J.A. JANCE

'A mystery within a mystery that invites you to get into the action, complete with twisting turns and heart-stopping dives into the unknown . . . The crowning achievement of a master storyteller' NELSON DeMILLE

'I await the next Kathy Reichs’ thriller with the same anticipation I have for the new Lee Child or Patricia Cornwell' JAMES PATTERSON

'Over the course of twenty books, Kathy Reichs and Tempe Brennan have thrilled readers with pacey, mazey tales . . . We readers are truly grateful' IAN RANKIN

‘Reichs, skilfully using the conventions of the mystery novel, forces the reader to face up to the obscene realities of death time and time again. At work and a play she gets under your skin’ THE TIMES

'A thrilling read from one of my favorite writers' KARIN SLAUGHTER

'One of the absolute best thrillers of the year! I can’t recall when this many twists have been so masterfully woven into a novel.' JEFFERY DEAVER

Enjoyed this very much. Often books get worse as series progress but not in this case. Didn’t want to stop listening.

The book is well written and well read and the plot kept me interested throughout. It was necessary to suspend my disbelief from time to time especially when the main character acted recklessly. A person in her circumstances and with her history would have had better home security and would have been more aware of personal security. Even so it is a good story with an interesting plot.

A very enjoyable book

There is a reason that Kathy Reichs is one of my favourite authors. The lady knows how to build suspense and catch the reader unawares.
I enjoyed this addition to the Temperance Brennan series, but I found some aspects to be a little predicable. Having said that, there were plenty of curve balls so I was questioning my assumptions.
The narration was really well done, with recognisable characters and intensity.

Great writing and narration
