About this listen

Three murders. Three innocent victims. What secrets did they share with their killer?

A bottle of bubble bath and colorful, plastic boats were scattered in small puddles on the floor. In the bathtub lay Linda Upton, fully-clothed, her lips a shade of blue, and her bloodshot eyes wide open.

When a young mother is found drowned in the bath, clutching a receipt saying 'all debts paid', Detective Robyn Carter knows it's just the beginning of a harrowing case. She recognizes the signs of a serial killer, and when a second victim with a receipt is found, her worst fears are confirmed.

With the local press whipping the public into a frenzy, Robyn is under pressure to solve the crime yesterday. But her team can't find a link between the two bodies, and the cracks are starting to show.

With the local press whipping the public into a frenzy, Robyn is under pressure to solve the crime yesterday. But her team can't find a link between the two bodies, and the cracks are starting to show.

The press call him The Leopard for his stealth, speed, and brutality. Can Robyn stop the most twisted killer of her career before it's too late?

A heart-pounding, toe-curling, one-sitting serial killer thriller that will hook you from the first minute till the last. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, and Karin Slaughter.

Shame about the reader better at 1.25 speed - perhaps she should read book first as seems to stumble

Great Story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The story was good, a little drawn out but that could be due to the narrator, she's really bad. The narration isn't natural and makes it a hard listen, authors need to think carefully about narrators as it can make or break a story, carol wyer is an amazing writer and the narrator for the Natalie ward series was great but this narration was disappointing to say the least and takes away from the story but try and stick with it because the story is great.

Painful Narration

The characters are believable, the stories are plausible and well plotted. I like hearing the back stories of the police officers, and their interactions with one another. I find the narrator immensely irritating, she doesn’t talk naturally at all, and her accents aren’t brilliant. It’s sometimes really hard to work out which character is talking. She should listen to her own narration and adjust accordingly. I’m only sticking with the series because the stories are so good.

The book overall is good, however, the narrator has a very odd style of reading that makes it not good to listen to.
