About this listen

The seventh book in the Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series.

Murdered people don't kill themselves. A quiet night on a country road. The stillness shattered by a car engulfed in flames, and a burned body discovered in the driver's seat. As the investigation unfolds, DCI Carol Jordan and psychological profiler. Tony Hill quickly realise that this is more than just a tragic accident. And so begins the hunt for a truly terrifying killer, someone who believes he is invisible, untraceable and untouchable. As other victims are found to have met the same terrible fate, and with more women at risk, Tony and Carol are drawn into a dark and twisted web of fear and revenge that will force them to question their own ideas of justice.

Critic reviews

"One of the most surprising twists you'll read this year. Outstanding." (Irish Independent)

"Engrossing...a colossal reminder of just why McDermid has been the queen of crime for three decades." (Heat)

I love Val McDermid, especially the Tony Hill / Carol Jordan series.
Many of the reviews I’ve seen complain about the narrator, he is a ropey in the first book but gets better - and you’ll be so engrossed in the story you won’t care.

Please stop moaning Carol and why the rushed ending

Where does Insidious Intent rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Pretty high

What was one of the most memorable moments of Insidious Intent?

When they finally realise 'who done it'.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

This narrator has a lovely kind voice and is unsuited to this book. He sounds the same whoever he is quoting in the story and this can be irritating at times. Sometimes I had to check back as to who was speaking.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Tony's sacrifice. I found thia profoundly moving if a bit unlikely somehow.

Any additional comments?

A jolly good read and I enjoyed it more than her other books.

Intriguing

Saw the "twists" coming a mile off in this one. Really not the best in the series.

Predictable!!
