About this listen

Matthew Hanson is a forensic phonetician and the best audio profiler in America. He is able to create a psychological and visual profile of people using only tones, noises, dialects and voice colours. Thanks to him, some of the most dangerous criminals are in jail. Blackmailers, hostage-takers, assassins, the critical evidence that brought them to justice - short audio recordings. Hanson is fascinating, charismatic, difficult to see through. And: he is in solitary confinement.

A year ago he brutally murdered a homeless woman. The burden of proof was overwhelming. Hanson himself confessed to the crime and led the police to the corpse. And yet there are questions. Why would one of the brightest police advisers commit such a poorly planned murder? Why does Hanson refuse any defence? And why does he refuse all interviews - even one with the young true crime blogger Julia Abbot, who comes across inconsistencies during her research that could prove his innocence?

Driven by a traumatic incident in her past, Julia is not deterred by Hanson's insistence on his guilt. She decides to conduct her own investigation, which leads her to answers and dangers she never expected.

A good thriller and audio production.
Episode 1 is just so so, but after episode 2 it has a great hook and turns out to be excellent! It ends perfectly set up for another set of episodes. I hope they are written and produced soon. Enjoy

Hidden Gem of a thriller.

In the style of Baldacci or Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme. Maximum plot twists, high drama after the plot exposition is set up. Good narrator - I quite like the soundscapes, even if it feels like it's trying to drive emotions a bit too blatantly - I still prefer good prose. Very professionally produced. Don't count the amount of 'then suddenly' used!

Good fun
