In this room, no one can hear you scream…

The Serial Crimes Unit are called in to investigate when a local pastor is found stabbed to death. As DI Henley assesses the crime scene, she discovers a hidden door that conceals a room set up for torture – and bound to the bed in the middle of the room is the body of a man.

When another body is found, also tied down, Henley realises there's someone out there torturing innocent people and leaving them for dead. But why?

There's nothing that connects the victims. They didn't know each other. Their paths never crossed. But someone has targeted them, and it's up to Henley and the SCU to stop them before they find another binding room…

This kept me guessing and then switching ideas as to who was wronged or a victim or not. The police procedures were very interesting also. Great story and memorable characters in it.

What an extraordinary story that is so full of surprises!

Gripping thriller. I couldn’t turn this off. It had me from the start. I’ve read all 3 of Nadine’s books now and can’t wait for the next one.

Nadine Matheson is my new favourite author.

Absolutely Brilliant

This is a fabulous follow up to The Jigsaw Man with many twists and ultimately reveals a killer I'd not suspected. A thoroughly enjoyable listen once again. Highly recommend both books.

Outstanding

I’m really enjoying this series. The storyline is complicated but just about plausible, the main police officers are interesting and mostly likeable and the police procedures are fascinating. I also love the use of the English language. The only bit that doesn’t ring true is the marriage of the main character, but these things are so subjective. Highly recommended

Excellent
