About this listen

 From the Sunday Times top ten bestselling author of Seven Days and The Choice comes a gripping serial killer thriller with a psychological edge you won’t want to put down!

A serial killer is stalking your home town.

He has a type: all his victims look the same.

And they all look like you.

Kate returns from a post break-up holiday with her girlfriends to news of a serial killer in her home town – and his victims all look like her.

It could, of course, be a simple coincidence.

Or maybe not.

She becomes convinced she is being watched, followed even. Is she next? And could her mild-mannered ex-boyfriend really be a deranged murderer?

Or is the truth something far more sinister?

Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop! Crime Domestic Thrillers Fiction Mystery Police Procedurals Psychological Relationships Thriller Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction Murder Suspense

the reader slows things down to sound like baby talk and makes the characters sound really annoying

If you like any aspect of a who done it then don't listen to this. The dialogue, characters and narration were good however there is only one suspect and the main character frustratingly misses the obvious for about 8 hours of this production. I would have given the narrator 5 stars (and would listen to her again) however she must have read the book and still agreed to continue with the project. This is the only audio book I've ever struggled to finish and not bothered to rewind when I fell asleep. I should have given up when the killer was revealed (I groaned aloud when I realised there was still 3.5 hours left). I gave 2 stars not 1 as I enjoyed the first couple of hours when there was still some potential. This could have been a good story and I could have tolerated the long winded ending if there was some element of surprise.

Thanks to the Audible pay monthly scheme I can get my credit back.

Painfully obvious but narrated well

Very very bad writing of female characters, threadbare storytelling and a laughable "baddy". Couldn't cope with the narrators version of Northern accents and her enthusiasm when saying a key phrase of Phils flatmate about a club saw me astral project straight out of my body.
I only persisted out of sheer bloody mindedness as I bought this when my paperback copy proved to skip from page 56 to 92. I now realise it was a higher power trying to tell me not to bother.

Avoid.

BAD
