About this listen

Homicide detective Frost Easton doesn't like coincidences. When a series of bizarre deaths rock San Francisco - as seemingly random women suffer violent psychotic breaks - Frost looks for a connection that leads him to psychiatrist Francesca Stein. Frankie's controversial therapy helps people erase their most terrifying memories...and all the victims were her patients.

As Frost and Frankie carry out their own investigations, the case becomes increasingly personal - and dangerous. Long-submerged secrets surface as someone called the Night Bird taunts the pair with cryptic messages pertaining to the deaths. Soon Frankie is forced to confront strange gaps in her own memory, and Frost faces a killer who knows the detective's worst fears.

As the body count rises and the Night Bird circles ever closer, a dedicated cop and a brilliant doctor race to solve the puzzle before a cunning killer claims another victim.

The voice the narrator puts on for women is beyond irritating - so off putting.

The story kept me listening but overall was pretty ridiculous and none of the characters are likeable.

Okay story, very annoying performance

A strange book mainly for the cod psychology and the narrator's attempt at a British accent.

This is the first book by Brian Freeman that i have read/ listened to and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
The plot was well thought out, i couldn't imagine coming up with such a storyline, i was hooked right from the beginning.
I secretly hoped that something would come of Frost and Lucy ...... not forgetting Shrak !
I did have to keep going back here and there to jog my memory as to what had happened, there were some twists along the way but if you enjoy a novel with a dark side this is for you.
I am going to hunt for more novels by this author and I'm hoping that the next will have as good a storyline and character's with as interesting lives as this ....... im really hoping that i haven't been spoilt for more.
This is the 1st book i have ever written a review for so it must have been good !
