About this listen

‘Absolutely fantastic, had me gripped!!! Loved it!’ 5 stars, NetGalley reviewer

When human remains are discovered under Bradford’s derelict Odeon car park, DS Nikita Parekh and her team are immediately called to the scene.

Distracted by keeping her young nephew out of trouble, Nikki is relieved when the investigation is transferred to the Cold Case Unit, and she can finally focus on her family.

But after the identity of the victim is revealed, she’s soon drawn back into the case. The dead man is a direct link to her painful past.

As the body count begins to rise, Nikki must do everything she can to stop the killer in their tracks before anyone else gets hurt – even if it means digging up secrets she had long kept hidden…

For readers of Angela Marsons and LJ Ross comes a gritty new crime series featuring bold, brave and ferocious D.S. Nikki Parekh.

Another good book from Liz Mistry but born and bred in West Yorkshire I found this narrator awful, her pronunciations, inappropriate pauses, phoney accents were a great distraction! I continued with the book because I enjoy the authors style of writing! Bring back Marston York!

Good story, awful narration

Brilliant book wonderfully read! Full of unexpected twists and turns! Very enjoyed and prompted me to buy the next in the series.

Fabulous

Gus McGuire is a hard act to follow, but Liz Mistry has done it again with her new detective DS Nikita Parekh.

I read an ARC of this book a few months ago and loved it so much that when the Audible version was released I couldn't resist.

This book (hopefully the first in a new series) is once again set in Bradford and even though I do know the city, Ms Mistry describes it so well that even if you’ve never been there you feel like you know it.

Our protagonist is a complex character, who just jumps off the page. She’s a strong, no-nonsense single mother, with a chaotic family life, but often rubs people up the wrong way. She’s not totally likeable, but she did grow on me as the story progressed. The supporting characters were all well written and believable. I liked the relationship Nikki had with her partner, Sajid.

The well plotted story builds slowly, with the first twist coming fairly early, and it kept me guessing throughout. I thought I’d figured out who the killer was but I was totally wrong! Hopefully we’ll be meeting Nikki Parekh again very soon!

The narration bt Shaheen Khan was brilliant, adding another layer of authenticity to the story.

Excellent start to a new series
