About this listen

Lipstick on your collar... Murder on your mind...

Following the bombshell ending of Kill Your Darlings, Declan Walsh has a new job, a new office and a new remit—but when a City of London art gallery discovers the star of their latest exhibition dead, with only a signed, painted "kiss" on his neck to go on, Declan and his team must investigate a murder that involves brutal vengeance, a family linked to a painting stolen by the Nazis in WW2, and a long-forgotten promise.

But, as the bodycount rises and the motive changes, Declan starts to wonder if the clues are leading towards the killer—or away, while Alex Monroe finds himself the target of a gangland hitman, desperate to stop him testifying at an upcoming trial...

The sixteenth audiobook in a series of procedural crime thrillers featuring DI Declan Walsh and the team of the Last Chance Saloon, Kissing A Killer is perfect for fans of J.D Kirk, L.J Ross, Ian Rankin, Alex Smith, David Gatward, Rachel McLean and Ann Cleeves, among others.

Lots going on in this book. Glad there wasn’t too much of his daughter. But plenty with the other characters. And of course the narration is excellent.

Good thriller
