About this listen

Were they pushed to the edge - or over it?

In the quiet coastal town of Weston-super-Mare, a body is discovered at the foot of a cliff just months after a near-identical tragedy - and Detective Inspector Louise Blackwell can't believe it could be a coincidence.

Next to the body, she discovers a note that echoes one found beside the first: Death is not the end. Louise is certain that behind these desperate acts someone is pulling the strings, but how many more will plunge to their demise before she can find out who - and why?

Struggling to stay focused under the strain of her troubled brother's disappearance with his young daughter, Louise hits a much-needed breakthrough when a third tragedy points to the involvement of a charismatic cult leader. The suspect is within her sights, but he knows she’s on to him....

Short on proof and with the body count rising, can Louise intercept his deadly mission - or has she taken on an unbeatable foe?

very clever. a story about a common occurance (sadly), but told from a different angle. DI Louise is a loveable character, and I hope she gets a good break soon

awesome

This is the second in the series and I’ve read both now. The plot was very compelling and as with the first book what starts as quite minor crime builds to grab your attention and it’s very well delivered. As the second book I have to say I find Louise quite irritating at times with her flawed thinking and impetuous actions but I suppose this all contributes to the story line. I’ll definitely be continuing with the series though.

Compelling plot we’ll narrated.

Really good detective series.
DI Louise Blackwell's character is very likable and her character development is very satisfying.
The narration is equally of high standard.

Really good

I usually find books in a series quite monotonous, but this one had me gripped! The way the story intertwined near the end was superb. Really enjoyed this one
