The book has a good pace. Even when you figure it out, it still gives you more. It didn't make me feel like I couldn't put it down, but i still enjoyed.

Good story

The characters are so well crafted and the writing just brilliant. The narration is also top drawer. I would recommend starting at Book 1 to get a full understanding of the characters. Hopefully more to come from Robotham.

This series just gets better

This author is one of my favourites. I never know what to expect story wise but I always know I will be entertained, spellbound and in need of spare hours to really enjoy his books. The characters are so real, I feel I know them personally which is the measure of a great writer. Enjoy this one, it’s a beauty.

Never disappoints!

Brilliant story. Unusual theme & interesting characters. A thrilling listen on Audible. I was quite disappointed when it ended. The narrator does a good job but needs some help to differentiate the various male voices as they are too similar. Will definitely listen again!

Fantastic!
