About this listen

The perfect escape....

Gabrielle Adams has it all - brains, beauty, a handsome fiancé and a dream job in publishing.

Until, one day, everything changes.

The ‘Underground Killer’ takes his victims when they least expect it: standing on the edge of a busy Tube platform, as they wait for a train to arrive through the murky underground tunnels of London.

Gabrielle soon learns that being a survivor is harder than being a victim, and she struggles to return to her old life. Desperate to break free from endless nightmares, she snatches up an opportunity to run a tiny bookshop in a picturesque cove in rural Cornwall.

She thinks she’s found the perfect escape, but has she swapped one nightmare for another?

Suspense and mystery are peppered with romance and humour in this fast-paced thriller, set amidst the spectacular Cornish landscape.

The story was entertaining but I found the absolutely terrible Irish accent of Luke Malone to be very distracting and hard to get past. 😩

Not bad bar the terrible Irish accent!

I don’t normally go for books like this, I am more of a fantasy/mystic person.

When this came up as included in my membership and listening to books when at work i thought I would give it a go.

The story had a good base line, the characters and plot increased throughout the book and with a few twists and turns to keep you going.
I can sometimes work out the ending before I get there, but surprisingly I didn’t see this one coming.

I enjoyed this very much, I may have to try branching out with my book choices.

Better than expected

An easy listen when pottering about and I sort of enjoyed it even though it was fairly predictable and a bit cheesy. Don’t think I would rush to listen to any others though.

So bad it’s good.

I gave up after the first few chapters. I generally listen to a lot of trash but when one character inevitably had a "handsome, tanned face" I rather gave up.

couldn't stand it
