About this listen

How do you catch a killer who knows your every move?

She drew the curtains and returned to the kitchen where she removed the bottle of vodka from the freezer and reached for the large kitchen knife. If he dared to come back, she'd be ready for him.

When a body is found hanging in the remains of a dock-side warehouse, detective Kate Matthews is called to the scene. Recently transferred following the death of a colleague, Kate is yet to see a successful prosecution over the line. But this won't be an easy win....

Someone is watching her: leaving her clues in her home, taunting her to throw the case and threatening the life of her little girl.

As more bodies begin to surface and Kate's stalker closes in, her instincts tell her that there is a link hidden among the victims' missing pieces. This is a killer with a message and Kate must race against the clock to solve his twisted riddle.

But at the end of this impossible puzzle lies an impossible choice....

A dark and compulsive cat-and-mouse thriller that will keep you guessing to the very end. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Sarah Hilary, and Patricia Gibney.

the story was over complicated and lacked any satisfactory resolution. I found the narrator really poor, her accents were generic and didnt have the expression they could have, for example she made strong female characters sound weak and whiny. I thought the story had potential but didn't reach it.

not a great listen

What did you like most about Dead to Me?

Trying to figure out 'who dunnit' i love books tht keep me guessing....and with this one i thought i was being so clever and guessed but how wrong i was

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dead to Me?

It was all memerable proper page turner

What does Emma Newman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I am a big fan of Emma's narration, she is clear and expressive she brings the characters to life in all the audiobooks she reads.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Catch me if you can.

Any additional comments?

I am looking forward to reading more in this deceive series.

Had me hooked!

I found the main character annoying. Her decisions were stupid and selfish. I find it hard to believe a mum would run out of the house after receiving a threat on your child and 'forget' to check on her until ages later! Obviously written by a man as women wouldn't react like this.

Not terrible but not great either

Wow .. 3 books and I have really got to know the characters in these fab books , written by Stephen Edger .. This book started a little slow , but by a quarter of the way through it , I was hooked .. I have now listened to all three books in the Detective Kate Matthews thriller series .., but was a little upset to see the last one had been written a year of two ago , so I contacted Stephen and he very kindly responded back to me , saying sadly there will only be the 3 books .

For any fans of Angela Marsons Kim Stone , Kim Wilkinson Jessica Daniels and Carla Kovach D I Gina Harte , you will love this series

I would so love the publisher to change their minds and let Stephen write more books in this series .. Very highly recommend

Love this series of books
