Story
The last time DCI Jamie Carver involved a would-be victim in his hunt for a serial killer, it ended badly. Now they want him to do it again, only this time the 'victim' is a Dominatrix. As if he hasn't enough on his plate - a brutal killer poised to strike again; shadows of the past that still haunt his dreams; an investigation under mounting pressure to succeed; a beautiful woman whose bizzare lifestyle may be the key to finding the killer. And that's not counting the young girl whose life he's trying to save from ruin or the ambitious colleague scheming to bring him down.

Story
Three women go missing without trace. A week is enough for the psychopath known in the press as the 'the Soul-Breaker' to destroy them. By the seventh day the women are psychologically dead, like bodies without a soul. Shortly before Christmas, the Soul-Breaker strikes again, this time in an exclusive psychiatric clinic. The clinic has been cut off by a snowstorm, and the Soul-Breaker is in their midst. Trapped in the clinic, staff and patients band together to protect each other, but in a night of unimaginable terror, the Soul-Breaker shows them that no one is safe.

Story
Crime reporter Rosie Gilmour has learned to be tough. The places she’s been and the stories she’s covered, she’s had to be. Her experience stands her in good stead for a grisly new investigation: the body of a refugee in a Glasgow canal, missing limbs and vital organs. He’s not the first person to go missing – are there vigilantes at work or is there something far more sinister going on? It’s up to Rosie to find out – but will what she discovers leave her with murder on her hands?

Summary
Six women. Six abductions. Six souls in peril...
London is in the grip of a barbaric serial killer, dubbed Herod by the tabloid press. Four pregnant women have been abducted in quick succession, their bodies mutilated and dumped. When a fifth pregnant woman, Julia Caton, is taken from her home in the dead of night, DCI David Rosen knows that time is running out to save her... Then Rosen gets a mysterious phone call from Father Sebastian Flint, an enigmatic priest who seems to know rather too much about the abductions. When it emerges that Father Flint was once the Vatican's leading expert on the occult, the investigation takes an increasingly disturbing turn. But it isn't until Rosen discovers the existence of an ancient text - said to be the devil's answer to the bible - that the true horror of Herod's plan begins to unfold. Rosen is drawn inexorably to the killer's lair, where he will discover a terrible truth - that Herod's retribution is absolute, and that there are far worse things than death...
Mark Roberts was born and raised in Liverpool and was educated at St. Francis Xavier's College. He was a teacher for twenty years and he received a Manchester Evening News Theatre Award for best new play of the year. The Sixth Soul is his first novel for adults.

The Sixth Soul - I loved it!
I'm not a huge fan of crime novels, but from the very start this one had me gripped. This is an intellegent, tight and well crafted novel where none of the elements are ever overplayed. For example, there's a welcome absence of the frantic plot twists that others rely too much on. Mark Roberts clearly knows how to tell a great story and does so here with aplomb. Joe Jameson also does a fine job with the narration.

Great First Novel
As soon as I finished this I went to look for others in the series, only to find with surprise that this was the first. I've read all John Connolly's Charlie Parker series, so if like me you enjoyed those you'll enjoy this. Not quite as dark and graphic, but still with a strong spiritual element - with undertones of satanism. I really bought into the main characters and was calling out loud at the book towards the end. The reader was good, although not convinced by the female character voices - I sometimes wish produces of audio books would employ a female voice for dialogue, it didn't spoil the story as I eventually got used to it and was able to suspend my disbelief - now when is the next one out I can't wait!!!

Exciting
This was a good, exciting listen. It made few demands and was ideal entertainment for when I was doing the decorating. Reminded me of a tv police drama and would probably work well as such. The characters developed well and are sympathetic enough to stand further outings in future books.
The narration was excellent.

Ok but....
This was an ok listen but overall I found the plot very predictable and some of the writing quite forced/unnatural. Additionally, I found the narrator a little annoying if I'm honest. The voices of the various characters, both male and female, ended up sounding like comedy caricatures. Not the worst listen but light years away from the best in my opinion.

Took a bit to warm up but good till the end
You need to give this a bit of time to warm up but it is worth it. A good pace and development and a satisfying end. The story develops nicely through the background of one detective, and some rather dodgy members of the church.

Average story with odd narration
Perhaps just me but I really didn't like a lot of this book. I particularly didn't like the narration. The narrator attempts to do a number of voices but most of the men have the same booming or gruff voice and most of the women sound like they are whining.
My dislike of the narrator may have tainted my view of the book. However, I did find it really predictable. Despite this the book does build to an exciting finish.
I wouldn't buy another book by the author or one read by the narrator but others clearly liked it so judge for yourself.

Dark, twisted and intriguing!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's a dark and twisted tale involving a serial killer who sacrifices the souls of unborn children. Overall, character and plot development was very good and leaves you caring about what happens to the pivotal characters.
If anything let it down at all, it was the slightly unconvincing narration by Joe Jameson. It's ok, it's not the worst, it's just not the best, mainly due to the forced voice that he gives to many of the characters. However, if you enjoy crime fiction, then you should enjoy this book!
