About this listen

 He thinks he sees a flash of emotion in her eyes. Sympathy? Then it's gone. "Whatever you think this is going to be like", she whispers, "it's going to be worse."

When beautiful serial killer Gretchen Lowell captured her last victim - the man in charge of hunting her down - she quickly established who was really in control of the investigation. So why, after ten days of horrifying physical and mental torture, did she release Detective Archie Sheridan from the brink of death and hand herself in?

Two years on, Archie now returns to lead the search for a new killer, whose recent attacks on teenage girls have left the city of Portland reeling. Shadowed by vulnerable young reporter Susan Ward, Archie knows that only one person can help him climb into the mind of this psychopath.

But can Archie finally manage to confront the demons of his past without being consumed by them?

Checked this one out on audiobook and found it to be pretty engrossing. Its central characters are all flawed in various ways (okay, one of them is extremely flawed), and they wrestle with their motives throughout. I enjoyed the story and didn’t find it too predictable, which can be an issue with this sort of cop procedural. It also didn’t shy away from the dark stuff, so points there. I did find the prose to be relatively basic. While wholly competent and adequate for the story, I do enjoy great writing, and I found this simply to be good. Still, overall, a really good read. I’ll happily check out the next one at some point.

A thoroughly decent thriller

Very enjoyable. Excellent characters and all very intriguing. Can be very gory at parts. Starting the second book straight away.
