About this listen

Criminologist Martin Knight lives a gilded life and is a thorn in the side of the police. But then his wife, Liz, goes missing. There is no good explanation and no sign of Martin.... To make things worse, Liz is the ex-girlfriend of DCI Craig Gillard, who is drawn into the investigation.

Is it just a missing person or something worse? And what relevance do the events around the shocking Girl F case, so taken up by Knight, have to do with the present? The truth is darker than you could ever have imagined.

I was initially put off this series by reviews saying it was sexist. I'm a 45 year old woman and I'm a bit baffled by this - I felt that there was as much objectification of men as of women. Men and women often think and speak differently, but that isn't sexism. I really enjoyed this book. I saw the biggest twist from very early on, but there are so many pointers to it that I can only assume that the author wanted the story to unfold that way. There was still plenty of uncertainty and interest, right up to the end. I found it refreshing to find a crime author who isn't trying to smugly prove his cleverness as opposed to his readers' stupidity - the Ellery Queen books irritate me no end with their insistence that you should be able to pick out the three relevent clues, only mentioned in passing, when other details are far from logical. I'll be reading more of this series.

An intelligently written crime novel

Haven’t enjoyed a thriller this much in ages! Expertly researched and clearly written with sub plots and interesting twists and turns, it was a joy from beginning to end. Despite mispronouncing ‘execrable’ and ‘comely’ the narrator did a fine job reading the posher characters. Highly recommend!

Absolutely brilliant!
