Summary

Time's up. You're Next.

"All he had to do was name the woman he wanted. It was that easy. They would do all the hard work."

Detective Sergeant Mark 'Heck' Heckenburg is investigating the disappearance of 38 different women. Each one was happy and successful until they vanished without a trace.

Desperate to find her missing sister, Lauren Wraxford seeks out Heck's help. Together they enter a seedy underworld of gangsters and organised crime. But when they hear rumours about the so-called 'Nice Guys Club' they hit a brick wall. They're the gang that no one will talk about. Because the Nice Guys can arrange anything you want. Provided you pay the price....

Dark, terrifying and unforgettable. Stalkers will keep fans of Stuart MacBride and Katia Lief looking over their shoulder.

Great listen!!!

Brilliant, 1st ever audio book, can't wait to start the next one. highly recommend Paul Finch and the D.S Heckenburg thrillers. very well narrated by Paul Thornley, couple of dodgy regional accents in parts but overall that can be forgiven. Great listen!!

Decent enough story but could do with editing

I chose this book because I like Paul Thornley's narration. He seems to choose the "easy listening" kind of books that are good for commuting. Another reviewer mentioned that the narration was monotonous but I disagree. The story was somewhat farfetched but still intriguing enough to listen to the end. I did, however, get the feeling that the publishers possibly put pressure on authors to populate these kind of thrillers with good looking characters who are inevitably attracted to each other even though this adds nothing to the narrative. Or perhaps the author thinks it would be easier to sell the book? Either way, I wish they would stop and just stick to telling a good story.

Read book one and become addicted!

Would you consider the audio edition of Stalkers to be better than the print version?

Right from the start you are drawn into the story. Through the series of books, you can not stop yourself from buying them all, you bond with the characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Heck, because of anything goes wrong, and of course it does, he always comes out right at the end.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

When Heck finally gets the bad guy.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Oh Yes. Listened through the night and then bought the series!

Any additional comments?

Good British Detective books are thin on the ground - it was a pleasure to find Paul Finch.

A Cliffhanger to the end...

If you could sum up Stalkers in three words, what would they be?

gripping and twisting storyline

What other book might you compare Stalkers to, and why?

Some of Stephen Leathers Dan Shepherd series

Which character – as performed by Paul Thornley – was your favourite?

All of them... Paul is superb to listen to...

Any additional comments?

I had never heard of Paul Finch (sorry) and only picked this book for the reader (Paul Thornley). But wow! was I hooked right from the beginning. It has some surprising twists and turns, and I loved Heck, who was ruthless, but caring.... funny but serious.... altogether a very complex character, which all adds to the suspense. Well worth downloading, but dont start listening if you have only limited time.... you wont be able to switch it off!
