About this listen
'Washington Poe is a brilliant creation, from one of the finest and most inventive crime writers of today' Peter James
----
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin . . .
Washington Poe has a story to tell.
And he needs you to listen.
You'll hear how it started with the robber birds. Crows. Dozens of them. Enough for a murder . . .
He'll tell you about a man who was tied to a tree and stoned to death, a man who had tattooed himself with a code so obscure, even the gifted analyst Tilly Bradshaw struggled to break it. He'll tell you how the man's murder was connected to a tragedy that happened fifteen years earlier when a young girl massacred her entire family.
And finally, he'll tell you about the mercy chair. And why people would rather kill themselves than talk about it . . .
Poe hopes you've been paying attention. Because in this story, nothing is as it seems . . .

I have never correctly guessed any twists before, never mind all of them but I do love the characters and I think listening to them on kindle adds an entirely new dimension to the experience.
It's all about Tilly and Washington for me
