About this listen

Detective Ford has a cold-blooded killer to catch. But can he escape his own dark secrets?

Barely a month since his promotion to Inspector, DI Ford is called in to investigate the murder of a young nurse and her son in a small flat in Salisbury. There are few clues, and no apparent motive, but Ford can sense that there's a serial killer at work. After all, he knows from brutal personal experience how killers cover their tracks....

It's been six years since Ford lost his wife in a climbing accident - an accident he caused. He is desperate to keep the truth hidden, especially from his son, Sam. But Ford's new partner, Dr. Hannah Fellowes, is a crime scene investigator with a ruthlessly analytical mind, and as they work together to track down the killer, his crippling guilt is compounded by fear of exposure.

When instinct leads him towards a high-profile suspect, his superiors' warnings just make him more determined to connect impulse and fact. But can Ford hold it all together - the case, his life - long enough to stop the killer?

My first Andy Maslen, but it won’t be my last. It took me a while to get used to the narration but an enjoyable story with good characters, just coming into their own. I am looking forward to learning more about them as the series unfolds….

A clever story with overlapping suspects. Very tense with a detective tackling his first case as Inspector and determined not to fail. He is a single parent who is in danger of alienating his teenage son because of his long hours at work. Tense right up to the end. It is a great read.

A fast paced thriller

Normally I get really into books then can't finish them as they get boring...this one was the opposite...couldn't leave it alone in the second half...a very easy enjoyable read (listen). It would have been nice to have some proper south west accents from the narrator but otherwise I loved it.

couldn't put it down
