About this listen
A brand-new series from the creator of the DCI Harry McNeil and DI Frank Miller novels. Here comes DCI Sean Bracken.
A killer on the loose.
A killer behind bars.
And a detective caught between them...
Ailsa Connolly was a brilliant psychologist and a respected criminologist.
She was also a serial killer.
Six years ago, DCI Sean Bracken caught her just before he was about to become her seventh victim. Every year on the anniversary of her incarceration, she taunts him with a phone call, giving him one message: "When I get out, I'll kill you."
Now, Bracken has transferred back to Edinburgh from Fife and is thrown into the deep end on his first day back on duty.
There's a killer who is emulating Ailsa, threatening to surpass her body count.
Bracken knows he needs her on board to help him track the killer down, but she's reluctant to get involved.
Then the case takes an unexpected twist, and she agrees to help. But this new killer is taking them down a dark, twisted path, where nobody sees the outcome.
Until it's too late.

It’s very DCI Jack Logan

Yes, it has twists and turns (YAY) but none of them are particularly satisfying due to the fact that everything is concluded far too quickly, Bracken himself is an irritating character and I'm not sure I want to waste any more credits on learning more about him. Maybe if I get bored but not until then. The only interesting character was Ailsa Connolly herself, now I'd spend a credit to learn more about her, as long as the story lasted more than six hours.
Fabulous narration

Narrator: Angus King
I like DCI Sean Brackens character but serial killer psychologist Ailsa Connolly wasn’t what I was expecting/hoped for, so much potential for an intelligent psychopath but that’s not at all what came across so although I understand the hate that the characters had towards her which is what basically fuelled the plot I wasn’t actually getting that strong a feeling towards her.
Still a good story though with a bit of a twist so well worth reading.
Good narration, Angus King really made DCI Sean Bracken for me.
