About this listen

DCI Kenny Murrain sees, hears and feels things that others do not. It’s a gift but also a curse.

When he wakes to the phantom sound of screaming, he knows a murder has been committed, but not where or why. Then a woman’s body is found in a Stockport hotel room. It’s a murder that seems both frenzied and carefully planned, the scene expertly cleansed of any evidence.

Over the following days, more bodies are discovered. The same frenzied attacks, the same meticulous planning. The same killer. The victims all have links to one man, a police colleague with a dark past. But Murrain discovers a more unexpected connection - with Marie Donovan, a former undercover officer now part of Murrain’s own team.

Critic reviews

“An intriguing police procedural, with a formidable sleuth...” (The Sunday Telegraph)

A different kind of crime thriller with a twist. I can see myself wanting to know what all the characters get up to in the next book so I will have to download it!

Read some poor reviews but I enjoyed the book. Writing is fluent and narration was fine. Could do with a gap between disconnected paragraphs in the same chapter. Some interesting characterisation.

A good enough listen to want to download the second book.

Narrator grew on me, wasn’t sure initially but found the narrator good. Not over dramatic or trying too hard to do voices.
Enjoyable new detective series, decent plot , with a decent twist. Good holiday book , expect I will try the next in series

Better than expected ,

Very short. The characters lacked any depth. The story seemed to end abruptly, a shame as the story definitely had potential.

Not great
