About this listen

A DCI Michael Yorke thriller.

A vicious serial killer slithers from the darkness, determined to resurrect the ways of a long-dead civilization.

When the ex-wife of one of DCI Michael Yorke’s closest allies is left mutilated and murdered, Yorke and his team embark on their greatest test yet. A deeply personal case that will push them to their very limits. And, as Yorke’s team are pulled further into the dark, the killer circles, preparing to strike again.

The Repenting Serpent is a true edge-of-the-seat, nail-biting pause resister!

I have enjoyed this second instalment from Wes Markin as much as the first, they are great reads/listens and have well written storylines. Great book, great narrator.

Great police procedural

This is the second book in the series that I've listened to and yet again thoroughly enjoyed it. There is the main crime story which the book mainly focuses on which I felt was quite unique and very enjoyable. There is also the story of the main characters which I feel the author develops well without it encroaching on the main story. Will definitely read more.

Enjoyable story

I preferred this second book to the first one, Last Prayer for the Rays. It is well written, nicely detailed and quite gory in places, lots of suspense, twists and thrills, everything a good thriller should be.

I received a free copy of this audiobook either from the author or a promotion or giveaway and am voluntarily writing an honest and unbiased review.

A true thriller

This is a very nicely paced crime thriller with excellent characters and great twisty plot. The narrator brings an extra dimension and enjoyment. DCI Michael Yorke is proving to be an interesting individual in this his second outing in a novel. For me this has all the ingredients of what I want in my crime fiction. Great writing.

Great Characters & Plot.

Wes Markin has an imagination I would not wish to share.

He gives us a story in our complex lives in which many search for something to believe in would most likely happen.
Initially there are many strands that appear to be unconnected and we are confused as Yorke and his team until some of these strands begin to weave together into a most macabre and sad tale; which you feel compelled to finish although you have an unpleasant feeling in your stomach.

I am not sure how much more Yorke and is team can take but I know I will be there to find out in book three.

I alternated between the ebook which I give 4* and the audiobook which I give 5* for Aubrey Parsons ability to bring another DCI Yorke story to life.

Unpleasant but compelling
