About this listen

Midlands police chase a serial killer who inflicts death by the new urban weapon of choice.

Given the targets seem enveloped in love affairs and deceitful liaisons, Chief Inspector Gavin Roscoe suspects a motive of jealousy and revenge. But as the number of victims increases, the connection between them wears thin.

Is it really a broken heart holding the crossbow? And if it's not some crazed Cupid, who has their finger on the trigger?

Plucky Detective Sergeant Sunita Roy doesn't think they are looking in the right places. Yet without evidence, her theory won't hold water. With the help of valiant and besotted DI Tom Vickers, she'll take considerable risks to hunt down the hunter.

Following multiple leads, the duo will need to collar the right suspect, but nothing is quite what it seems in this exciting police procedural full of twists and turns.

The Crossbow Stalker is the second standalone book to feature DCI Roscoe and DS Roy.

This was a great find on the audible plus catalogue and it is a pity that the other books in the series haven't been put into the audio format.
I like the interaction between the two key detectives plus the others and it is different to other books in the genre.
Really enjoyed it.
