About this listen

The young girl you have found isn’t the first experiment I’ve carried out. She won’t be the last.

A tense, unpredictable crime debut that will not only have you gripped, but will chill you to the bone. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and Mark Billingham.

A serial killer is stalking the streets of Liverpool, gruesomely murdering victims as part of a series of infamous, unethical and deadly psychological experiments.

When it becomes apparent that each victim has ties to the City of Liverpool University, DI David Murphy and DS Laura Rossi realise they're chasing a killer unlike any they've hunted before – one who doesn’t just want his victims’ bodies, but wants their minds too.

With a series of psychological twists Dead Gone will keep you guessing until the very end.

Having just finished listening to this book the first thing I did was look for another ! Unfortunately so far there are only two books but I shall certainly be on the lookout for any further offerings from this talented crime writer....it also helps that he uses the brilliant Johnathan Keeble to bring life to his excellent storyline! Bravo !

Another Cracking Good Read From This Author!

A really good story, very believable. What takes this to another level though is the performance of Jonathon Keeble, he does audible so well! His character voices are excellent and all so different and he reads with such passion.
I base my search for a good book to listen to by genre and who is reading it and he’s the best I’ve heard. Just Brilliant !

A real thriller....and what a voice!

I enjoyed this, but found some of the plotting a little silly - characters finding themselves in situations they should easily have been able to avoid!
Jonathan Keeble is, without doubt, one of my favourite narrators - but - his female Liverpool voices are beyond annoying!

Absorbing, but a bit mixed!

Great story, kept me guessing until the last chapter which is unusual in a now saturated market. I tried this author after rating the narrator as 5* in another series. I'm thrilled to have found another intelligent and obviously well researched series. If you're a fan of the fictional Criminology genre, give this series a go! Well done to all involved, a great audiobook!!!

I've found another Diamond!!!
