About this listen

A woman is murdered in an empty house. Within 24 hours there is another horrific murder using the same method. The detectives soon deduce that the victims are random, but the locations are not. The killer looks for the right house - somewhere he won't be disturbed.

When a man confesses, it looks like the case is closed, but Detective Stephen Greco is unconvinced. Can he keep control when things get personal?

This author goes to some really dark places with her writing. I hate to think of what she has to do for research purposes but I’d love to spend time chatting with her about her writing! Yet again another well written book. On to the next.

Love her style of writing

This is a really good story with great characters and a good plot. It moves along nicely and would be a 5* listen if not for the narrator who spends around 20% of the book speaking at almost a whisper making it hard to hear unless you happen to be in a silent room with headphones on. A shame as he has a good voice during the normal spoken sections but the irregular volume and soft near-whispering ruined it for me. The first book had the same issue and while I do want to continue the series I'm not keen to hear it with this narrator.
I thought maybe it was just me but I see that many of the reviews on Audible also mention the up/down volume issue too.

Spoiled by narration

The story is very good, there wasn’t the usual dull section half way through which often happens. The narrator spoilt this book for me, using aggressive voice even when describing drinking coffee, then speaking very quietly so I needed to rewind and increase the volume!

Very Good story, spoiled by narrator
