Young girls are disappearing around the country, and there is nothing to connect them to one another. Dr Tony Hill sets his team an exercise: they are given the details and asked to discover links between the cases. Only one officer comes up with a theory that is ridiculed… until one of their own is murdered. For Tony Hill, the murder becomes a matter for personal revenge and joined by colleague Carol Jordan, he embarks a game where hunter and hunted can all too easily be reversed.©1997 Val McDermid (P)2015 W.F.

Gripping novel. Impossible to stop listening. I've been an audible member for years and this is in the top five of my audible downloads. Thankfully, with my iPhone and headphones I can still listen while working at mind-numbing chores around the house or listen while driving so little things like paid work and sleep don't slow me down too much!

I liked this book and the series, but the narration puts me off. All the women sound silly and breathy, I always imagined Carol as a strong intelligent woman and the narrator manages to make her sound a bit daft. He also turns Tony Hill into Obe Wan Kinobe, which just makes me laugh. I'll stick with the series as I enjoyed the books, but I wish someone else was reading it!

Good book, not keen on the narrator.

To put it mildly I struggled with the narrator. Can just about cope with his general storytelling narration but his characters voices are the absolute pits. Some sound like Shakespearean hams, some like comedy ee bah gum peasants, the women sound like pantomime Dames/dick Emery in drag/Fenella Fielding on mogadon. The scouse accent is beyond belief in it's ridiculousness. The tough glaswegian cop sound like the camp highland landlord from the Wicker Man. Love Val McDermid but this narrator is TERRIBLE!

Great book, terrible narration!

Had to overlook the datedness of the book but it’s still a good story! Surprisingly nasty. The female voices are awful (overly breathy) and the male accents a mix of all sorts of accents in one character! Terrible drunken Liverpudlian lol. Oh, and it took the narrator 10’s of chapters to decide on a way of saying the name ‘Shaz’. How hard can it be?! Gritty & gory storyline, well researched.

Stilted, almost comical narration
