Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Behind Dead Eyes by Howard Linskey, read by Kieran Bew.

A MYSTERY VICTIM

A corpse is found: its identity extinguished in the most shocking manner imaginable.
Detective Ian Bradshaw can't catch the killer if no one can ID the victim. Out there, somewhere, a missing young woman may hold the answers.

A SECRET WEB

Journalist Helen Norton is about to uncover a massive criminal conspiracy. She just needs the final piece of the puzzle. Soon, she will learn the price of the truth.

AN 'INNOCENT' KILLER

True-crime writer Tom Carney receives letters from a convicted murderer who insists he is innocent. His argument is persuasive - but psychopaths are often said to be charming...

Brilliant

Again another great book by Howard Linskey. I’ve really enjoyed the DI Brandshaw series, Linskey does a great job of telling an exciting story that keeps you guessing as well as the ongoing developing relationships between the DI and two reporters.
This works well as a stand alone book, I actually listened to the 3rd one first...but I recommend the whole series.

Another great one in the series...

I like the blend of journalist and police in this series, even if it is a little unlikely. The way the solutions to several cases are uncovered and linked by the different approaches the trio takes makes this an interesting read.

It's not Rebus or McRae, but it's likely to appeal to fans of Rankin and McBride.

Entertaining

Any additional comments?

Unfortunately I had to return this book after listening to the first half as I just couldn't get into it. The story and characters had good promise, but the narration is a disaster. Literally everything is read in the same dreary, emotionless monotone, and every character (including the women) have the same voice (the narrator's), such that it is both a chore keeping up with which character is speaking, and impossible to identify or sympathise with any of the characters. Other reviewers have also pointed out that there are very short transitions from scene to scene, further aggravating the problem. Perhaps if this is re-recorded with a better narrator (one of Steven Pacey's talents, for example) in future, I will reinvest in it.

Promising story ruined by poor narration
