We can't save everyone.

"FBI Agents Ryan and Victory are called to the scene of an impossible murder: an obnoxious TV personality, nicknamed Big Mouth, was dead, a gunshot through the head, the gun returned to a nearby drawer. But security had been so tight in his mansion, there was no way anyone could have entered or left without tripping alarms. No sign of entry, finger prints or other evidence - the crime was impossible. Yet it had happened. Could this be another killing by the person nicknamed the Shadow? But almost immediately the two FBI officers were called away to an horrendously brutal scene: the badly burned body of a young woman found in a park, victim of the serial killer known as the Wrapper from his habit of winding his victims in bubble wrap.
Two murders, two serial killers...

This is a cleverly crafted story which entwines together the progress of both killers, the police teams and, in particular, the emotional life of Agent Victory, a respected and tenaciously brave investigator still suffering guilt pangs and loneliness a year after the death of her husband.. Other protagonists are also well characterized, especially Derrick Lynn, a wealthy fantasy game developer and son of the Secretary of Defense, towards whom Victory feels unexpectedly drawn. Some scenes are uncomfortable in their brutal description of victims and yet there is a feel of reality to the whole story despite the murders, conspiracies and paranormal areas.

The narrator is Robin Siegerman, a woman with a very versatile voice. Pleasant to the ear, she conveys emotion exquisitely, and endows every one of her characters with individual voices. Especially noteworthy is the effect she produces when protagonists are heard talking on the telephone. She reads the text with total understanding and commitment: an excellent performance.

My thanks to the rights holder of Deadly Shadow, the first in a new series, who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. This is a powerful, engrossing story with genuinely surprise moments. Highly recommended to anyone with a penchant for thrillers, murder mysteries and books with strongly developed protagonists. I will personally be looking out for the next book in the series.

Deadly Shadow

At first the murders look like to have been done by the same person but upon more investigation Victory learns that, that is not the case. Now she is dealing with two separate murders with two different killers on the loose.

A thrilling story

A thrilling suspenseful story full of emotion and shocking scenes, Writing is excellent with a fast paced story with a really shocking ending, great strong characters. My only quibble is that the narration whilst mostly great gets a little over the top at the most emotional parts but it is still and excellent novel

deadly

I loved the narration of Robin Siegerman, who brings out the characters, suspense and action.

Victory is smart, confident and compassionate. Dealing with loss and grief, and on two separate and seemingly unsolvable serial killer cases. Still able to deal with all the stress and looking confident to any on looker

The two cases, The Shadow and The Wrapper are woven together. Derrick is a government assassin who uses his unusual paranormal skills to eliminate targets. Needing to keep his secrets buried, he offers to help find The Wrapper. Victory has cross into a world of government cover-ups, murder, and betrayal.

Suspense and action .

Fantastic!!!

This is such an amazing story! The author's descriptions and the narrator's emotional performance put me right there feeling the pain Victory felt as she desperately searches for the killer. I listened to the book while i worked around the house and kept having to stop and listen during the intense scenes. I'm sure I must have stood slack jawed. The concept is unique and such a great introduction to the series. The story flows from scene to scene flawlessly, and I can not recall a single boring moment. This is suspenseful mystery at its best, and you won't regret purchasing it. I can't wait to see what's in store for Victory as the series continues. **Thank you, Kim Cresswell for offering me a free review copy.
