About this listen

Can DS Karen Hart rely on the word of a little girl to save the life of a woman in grave danger?

When a woman is abducted from a quiet suburban street and bundled into the back of a white van, the only witness to the crime is a child with a reputation for telling tall tales.

The police doubt the girl’s story, except for Detective Karen Hart, who is determined to follow her instincts—perhaps because the shy little girl reminds her of the daughter she’s still grieving.

When a playing card is found at the scene, Karen finds her first clue. And when a second card is found at the home of a missing woman, Tamara, Karen finds her victim. But before the team can catch their breath, another woman linked to Tamara is snatched. And then a body turns up in a farmer’s field.

With the crimes having escalated from kidnap to murder, Karen must unlock the killer’s calling-card code before any more victims are taken. But getting to the truth isn’t going to be easy when Tamara’s family has so much to hide...

Critic reviews

“A 'must' for dedicated fans of police procedural murder mysteries…deftly and effectively narrated by professional voice actor Henrietta Meire. Offering a compelling 'theatre of the mind' experience for the listener from beginning to end…unreservedly recommended.”Midwest Book Review

Good story dragged a bit, it had a good twist at the end. Will recommend if you like a slow story.

Good story

Really enjoyed What She Said. We finally get to meet Sophie's hero Dr Michaels and he becomes involved in the abduction case central to the story. I really thought I'd worked out who did it part way though but as often happens a plot twist proved me wrong.

The best in the series
