Summary
 ‘Helen Fields knocks it out of the park with The Shadow Man. From the creep-you-out opening to the last staggering page, this one just refuses to let go. Simply brilliant.’ NEIL BROADFOOT

I was a little perturbed initially when Robin Laing started the narration. It felt like cheating on Luc and Ava. However 1 chapter in and it left me full of dark desire to hear more.

Set in the same Edinburgh backdrop as the Perfect books with a few guest appearance this book, hopefully the starter for a whole new series was as magically dark as we can expect from Helen Fields, tense as ever and still maintains a fee comic edges.

Thoroughly loved this. It you like crime, disturbing darkness and create characterisation this is a must.

I absolutely loved this book.
The characters were so well detailed, I had no trouble at all visualising exactly what they looked like, especially Fergus.
The situations the characters found themselves in, gave me nightmares, especially at the end of the book, I could hardly breath.
I thought the narrators, were excellent in bringing the characters to life. The interpretation of Fergus' voice, chilled me to the bone.
Please, please, please let there be a series of books, with the two main characters, getting together to make this world, a safer place.
Fantastic book........more please.

Series Pleeeease

I have listened to the Perfect Series and absolutely loved it and had high hopes for this stand alone book following this and was pleased to her some of the characters from the perfect series also were written in to this as well, I was however disappointed Robin Laing did not continue to do Overbeck in this story and felt this changed my vision in my head of overbeck in this story. Overall I would recommend this book!

Loved this book as a stand-alone my only issue is

I was really excited to read the stand alone book from Helen Fields. I've listened to all of the Luc Callanach books in the series and loved the characters, story lines and the narrator.
I thought this book started well but as it got going I found it challenging to keep listening. The story was really out there, I found the characters to be frustrating and didn't like the final chapters in the graveyard. It all seemed very implausible. I finished the book, but wouldn't recommend.

Love Helen Fields, Didn't Enjoy This.
