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.

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.

I enjoyed everything about this book. I was gripped all the way, I'm not into listening to gruesome murder scenes, but I felt the balance was right for the story. I laughed out loud many times, as it is humorous in parts, too. I will look out for more books from this author, and the narrating was excellent, too.

Throughly enjoyed this book

Perfect narration, appealing characters and good plot twists — this first instalment left me wanting more. And luckily there are two more books in the series also available in the Plus catalogue. Result!

Hooked on this series!
