A slick, smart, stylish - and shocking - thriller from one of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction.

On a remote farm, an elderly woman takes a fall outside and, unable to move, is consumed overnight by two of her pigs.

The victim was the renowned and reclusive photographer Sophie Bertilak - and the first photo she ever took remains her most infamous: a missing girl who was never seen again. Most strangely, inside the house, all the photos have been removed from their frames...

Forensic veterinarian Cooper Allen is called in for the post-mortem - and becomes obsessed with the victim, her family, and the crimes she brought to light decades ago.

As Cooper pulls on a dark thread of deception and double-lives, she begins to unravel the case - as well as herself...

if you like a thriller with more twist and turns than a mountain pass, then this is for you . Well read and performed, with characters that are believable. A must read

I loved Sixteen Horses, and Consumed didn't disappoint. This felt like it hit the perfect Goldilocks spot for a follow up - not too similar to SH but not too different.

There's a lot of traversing between timelines and characters, but it serves the story well, deliciously revealing new information and events, Where this book really excels is in creating believably miserable and dour locations that linger and cling to the characters. Dark, but in the best possible way.

Having loved Sixteen Horses I was excited for this novel that presents an intelligent twisty murder mystery

An excellent literary crime novel

I got to Chapter 16 and still found my attention wandering. I personally found it too slow, an unusual narration performance, and an irritating writing style. I am sure it must have got better but only the second out of nearly a hundred listens I have given up on. Even Matt Addis couldn’t keep me engaged. I am sure some will like this but just a matter of preferences.
I tried to get a refund but failed.

Tough listen
