About this listen

A new killer is stalking the streets of London’s East End.

Critic reviews

"Pinborough really knows how to drag the reader into her books." (Simon Kernick, bestselling author of Relentless)
"This is deliciously inventive stuff, delivered with the narrative nous and sense of atmosphere that lifts Mayhem above the raft of many similar novels." ( Crime Time)

This was the first time I've 'read' anything by Sarah Pinborough or heard Steven Crossley read and I will be looking out for both of them again - a great combination of gripping story and excellent narration.

Not particularly engaging, although the narration was quite good. Took me months to finish it. The last third picked up a bit. I may come back to it again one day in case I am doing it a disservice.
