Summary

Crime reporter Rosie Gilmour returns from hiding in Bosnia to a story of a brutal execution. University lecturer Tom Mahoney was shot at point-blank range; the killing has all the signs of a hit. But who would want to kill a retired lecturer?

Rosie throws herself into the investigation, looking for a witness that has gone missing. A witness that might hold the key to the story. But she has her own reasons to stay hidden. 

As Rosie digs deeper, she finds the story has connections to the Ministry of Defence and MI6, and Mahoney's past is darker than anyone could imagine. Rosie's running out of time to find out the truth before Mahoney's killers silence her for good.

Reporter, sleuth and Rosie

Rosie, super reporter with a nose for a story gets herself yet again deeper and deeper into a mega story. Like an iceberg it is so difficult at the beginning of a story to judge the true size of the iceberg. Rosie keeps getting into near fatal situations, but chance, and quick thinking on her part, allows her to live another day. All exciting stuff to the very end. Excellent narrator.

An excellent series

I am really getting quite fond of the characters in this series. The intrigue and the stories are brilliant.
I like the fact that Rosie's colleagues are fond of her and there isn't the sniping that is so common in today's novels. It is also interesting to read the story from a reporter's viewpoint rather than that of the police.

Loving the whole series great listen

Another brill listen. Loving the different stance on this with Rosie being a reporter and not the standard Police Detective. Great story with some tense moments - personally I enjoy the audio more than the book as you can really get into the characters and play cure the scene.

Loved this book as much as the others and looking forward to the next instalment - what will Rosie do next and what will happen to her love life?!

Great story but....

Seriously!! How many times is the word SILENCE used in this story!! To the point where I was groaning whenever it was said.... was it just a way to increase the word count?! other than that I like the story... just stop with the useless SILENCE pauses! or find an alternative!

Gripping gutsy story

Wonderful exciting story line full of intrigue and danger for Rosie the intrepid reporter and the crimes she is trying to uncover. Convincingly narrated by Sarah Baron who brings the story to life with different accents for each character. This is the first book I have Read from Anna Smith. I can't wit to listen to the next thrilling novel

Another foul mouthed rant by a female author .

It seems that it’s female authors who are using foul language in their books more so than any others . I suppose it’s to compensate for not being able to use it in their everyday speech .
