About this listen

A body with no clues. A killer with no heart. A cop with no hope.

When the body of a young woman is found on the banks of the River Thames, Detective Inspector Simon Wise is called to investigate. With his team at half-strength and still trying to deal with their own trauma, he hopes it's a straight-forward case. But London is a cruel city and Wise soon find himself hunting the most ruthless of killers.

Into the River Dead is the fourth book in the DI Simon Wise Crime Thriller series and set on the streets of London. If you like dark police procedurals, complex characters, and shocking twists, then you’ll love Michael Dylan’s pulse-pounding crime series.

Gripping

Wise is a good cop, a good man, with an evil brother. The difficulty of solving a crime with the spectre of his brother hanging over him makes this a fantastic story. I wait with anticipation for the next book in the series.

Outstanding read

This latest outing, whilst again expertly narrated and written, felt a little more low key than its predecessor. This is in no way a complaint and the story serves both to introduce new characters into the mix while dealing with the fallout from the last book.

The pacing moves along steadily and I would have liked to see a little more into the mind and history of the antagonist. I feel we are slowly building to a confrontation between the brothers that is going to be epic and can’t wait to see what happens next.

More please!

Another great addition to the series!

This is such an excellent book in the DI Simon Wise series by Michael Dylan.
Good story and of course the continuing anxiety about his brother - proper ‘omg’ moments and even biting my lip - especially at the end.
I am impatient for book 5 of course, and really hoping that his stupid DCI boss gets head butted & booted out.
Excellently narrated by Colin Mace.
Highly recommend this series.
