Summary

A murder made to look like suicide. Another that appears an accident.

DI Barton investigates the tragedies that have shattered a family’s lives, but without obvious leads the case goes nowhere. Then, when the remains of a body are found, everything points to one suspect.

Barton and his team move quickly, and once the killer is behind bars, they can all breathe a sigh of relief. But death still lurks in the shadows, and no one's soul is safe. Not even those of the detectives…

How do you stop a killer that believes life is a rehearsal for eternity, and their future is worth more than your own…?

Ross Greenwood writes gritty, heart-pounding thrillers, with twists aplenty, and unforgettable endings. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Stuart MacBride.

Fair Cop

Perfect narration of this cop drama thriller to emphasize and distil the different aspects of police life and banter. More black humour. So nice to revisit our usual suspect MCs and enjoy their antics investigating a series of murders. ENJOYABLE TALE

Excellent storyline!

Really enjoyed the plot from start to finish. Unexpected twists and turns with some humorous moments made it very enjoyable - even though it was all about a twisted religious freak psycho killer!
This was my first audible book so admittedly I had to get used to a male reader doing womens voices (which sounded comical at first) but it was bearable, then I became so engrossed in the story, who was reading it didn't matter, I just wanted to know what happened next.

Good story

I started listening at normal speed but couldn't get on with the narrator. Changed to 1x5 speed and so much better. He's far too boring otherwise.
story is well thought out and enjoyable from both sides of the police & murderer.

Loved it - had to keep going until it was finished

David Thorpe's narration was excellent. Just what you want from a narrator really; different characters, voices, emphasis and passion and especially with a story like this one.

Great twist on the character of who the Soul Killer is and I really liked the way you kept guessing as a bit more information came out. Very enjoyable, and pretty gruesome. Just what you need from this genre.

Definitely an author to watch.

Brilliant

I am always thinking about writing a book, then I read something brilliant like Ross Greenwood's book, so much going on, so many branches of a tree, this was a bit more gory, but so love D. I. Barton & his team, amazing characters. Narrated brilliantly also. Onto to the next 1. Please write more.

Highly recommend

I really enjoyed this story, which had me hooked from the start. Wish I’d have known to listen to The Snow Killer first - just for my own personal preference as it’s not necessary. Definitely sold on Greenwood after this so will buy now after this fabulous freebie!

Local area

This book is very well narrated and covers my local area of Norfolk. Cleverly written , the story has you drawn in from the off and you wonder who will win the cat and mouse game that follows.

The Soul Killer.

Pretty good but the ending isn't really a surpriese but still a book an audio that you could be working while listening to.
