What if the people you trust are the ones you should fear most?

We all recognise them: those who send prickles up the back of our necks. The charmers, the liars, the manipulators. Those who have the potential to go that one step too far. And then take another step.

Each week Jessamine Gooch broadcasts a radio show about convicted killers. But when she is approached for help in solving a current case, around a troubled missing woman, she faiis to realise there is a dark figure closer to home, one that threatens the safety of her own family . . .

Relentlessly gripping, The Dangerous Kind is a thriller that will make you second-guess everyone you meet.

Too many storylines to follow - some of which were quite boring. They all come together in the end, but I'd lost interest in most of them by then. I found myself skipping chapters and wanting it to end so I could have the conclusion without having to listen to it all. By far the most irritating thing about the whole Audible experience was the way the narrator kept switching between how she pronounced Jessamine. Sometimes is was "JeSSamine", and sometimes "JeZZamine" - sometimes even in the same paragraph it was pronounced differently. Maybe I'm being petty, but it drove me mad.

Too much
