About this listen

Two women dead.

It was a vicious, calculated murder. The killer selected his victim at Euston station, followed her home on the tube, strangled her to death in front of her child. At the same time, killed in the same way, a second body is discovered at the back of King's Cross station. And this grisly event eerily echoes the murder of two other women, stabbed to death months before on the same day.

Two killers working together.

It is DI Tom Thorne who sees the link and comes to the horrifying conclusion. This is not a serial killer the police are up against. This is two of them - and two killers are way more deadly than one....

Good story line.
Liked it but it was a bit hard to follow in parts.
Narration was alright.

The inventiveness of the plot kept me listening right till the end. BUT why does Mark Billingham insist on being the narrator? He is a good writer but a terrible narrator. He is unable to distinguish between characters and there is no energy in his reading.

An interesting story
