Milford Haven has a dead man, and too many dangerous assumptions.

A carefully planned street killing draws Jess Allanby into a slow, politically charged investigation where every breakthrough creates new risk. At home, Warlow finds himself confronting a different kind of threat: a manufactured haunting designed to control a vulnerable woman and reshape a public narrative.

Both cases hinge on the same uncomfortable truth—cruelty doesn’t always look like rage. Sometimes it looks like strategy.

Not a thing! The author is brilliant and I look forward to many more from him.

The characters - they are real! Finished the series and feel bereft! So beautifully written and incredibly well narrated.

While not as edge of the seat as some of the other books in the series, this was still a wonderful listen. I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that this book was a calmer investigation for the Team. It would be weird and feel much less realistic if the life of one of them was in danger in every single book!
Long may this excellent series continue!!
Brilliant writing and excellent narration as always 👏👏👏

Live this series and the main characters within so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The stories are good but unless you have a great storyteller they don't quite come to life. The well written characters are great with facets and dimensions, but the narration is the secret sauce that colours those characters, marvellous.

Superb narration
