Summary
Meet Amy Winter: Detective Inspector, daughter of a serial killer.
DI Amy Winter is hoping to follow in the footsteps of her highly respected police officer father. But when a letter arrives from the prison cell of Lillian Grimes, one half of a notorious husband-and-wife serial-killer team, it contains a revelation that will tear her life apart.
Responsible for a string of heinous killings decades ago, Lillian is pure evil. A psychopathic murderer. And Amy’s biological mother. Now, she is ready to reveal the location of three of her victims - but only if Amy plays along with her twisted game.
While her fellow detectives frantically search for a young girl taken from her mother’s doorstep, Amy must confront her own dark past. Haunted by blurred memories of a sister who sacrificed herself to save her, Amy faces a race against time to uncover the missing bodies.
But what if, from behind bars, Grimes has been pulling the strings even tighter than Amy thought? And can she overcome her demons to prevent another murder?

Torn
I had almost given up on this due to the narrator. She's one of those "overly English, overly pronounced" narrators. Drove me insane!
However about half way the book took over and I wanted to follow and I'll be honest, I didn't sleep much as it was one of those , just one more hour, books.
Once you get past the infuriating voice the story is worth it. So much so I want to try another in this series.

Sorry, got very bored
Very average and didn't hold my attention. Got about 3/4 of the way through and just couldn't bring myself to listen to the end as I was finding the whole thing a chore. Narrator was good and I would certainly listen to her again. 3 stars for the story as I did get over half way before giving up.

Great Thriller
This book should be a film or TV drama so well written and read by Elizabeth. I only found out about this having lunch in Harry's Bar and someone told me about it and it's the best book I have read/heard for a long time

Hood story, decent twist at the end
Enjoyed this freebie, albeit essentially a dramatised version of the true story of Fred and rosemary west - pretty accurate procedurally with some exceptions - only adverse observation is the bizarre pronunciation of agoraphobia! Worth a listen tho 👍

Very enjoyable
The narrator was excellent and easy to listen to. The premise of the book is rather dark & nasty but it seemed written in a rather polite vanilla format which is surprising considering the issues.

Chilling
Throughly enjoyed this book, very chilling tale. I agree with above comments, this could indeed be made into a tv production. The narration for me was excellent.

A good suspenseful thriller
Yes it’s loosely based on The West’s, plus Brady and Hindley but it’s more that that.
Kidnapping and social media plus a decent dollop of police procedures throw in some believable side stories and you have a good book with an excellent narrator. Perfect for cold winter nights beside the fire sitting on a comfy seat.
