Summary

A rising death toll. A city in panic. A young mother is found dead in her home with no obvious cause of death. As DI Hannah Robbins and her team investigate, it soon becomes clear that the woman is the first in a long line of murders by poison.

With the body count climbing and the city of Nottingham in social meltdown, the team find themselves in a deadly race against a serial killer determined to prove a point. And Hannah finds herself targeting an individual with whom she has more in common than she could possibly know.

absolutely sublime, no word wasted, perfection

Despite being a police crime thriller, the story is raw without the gore and raw with emotion. Each word carefully chosen, but utterly bereft allowing the reader to use their naked imagination and go through the same roller coaster of thoughts, feelings and actions without superfluous description. A masterpiece in storytelling. A contender for my book of the year and hopefully many other people's too. A must read.

No idea

I couldn’t finish the book as I had no idea which character came next, it confused me so much and it took a while to figure out who was who in the chapter. I’m sure it was a good story I’ll never know, sorry for such negative words about the narrator x

Felt quite disjointed

Very short disjointed chapters which didn’t relate to each other. Also jumped from date to date. I really didn’t feel this book flowed well at all

Very enjoyable

Well written with good solid characters. If you like books by LJ Ross, Joy Ellis and Sally Rigby you’ll enjoy this book. I’m hoping it’s a series.

Another enjoyable storyline

I have enjoyed both books in this series so far. Plenty going on and all ties together well.

Really poor narration!

I have listened to many detective novels and I think I would have enjoyed this one more if read by a different narrator. Colleen Prendergast shouldn't read detective novels, I had to rewind a few times because her voice had no feeling, just monotone.

Good story and characters

I have enjoyed this one as much as the first. The story is detailed, with real locations, and explains the procedures and stresses in an interesting way. I'm not sure that this is a commanding enough voice for Hannah though.
