Summary

Psychotherapist Frieda Klein's home is her refuge until she returns to find it has become a disturbingly bloody crime scene. Beneath the floorboards the police have found the body of a man she had hired to help protect her.

When those closest to Frieda begin to be targeted, the picture becomes more skewed. Unless Frieda can find and stop whoever is threatening her friends and family, her love and loyalty could come at a truly fatal cost.

An old favourite

I loved this story. Much improved from the previous story. Also feel a new chapter may be possible. Here’s hoping. The narrator is excellent and the suspense around DR continues.

Such a brilliant series

I wish these books were longer! but honestly that's the only qualm I have with them?! I have torn through them in a matter of days, and yet they weave such a rich and vibrant tapestry of stories, characters, sub plots, unexpected twists, chilling mysteries, terrifying stomach drops and heartwarming friendships, I've fallen head over heels for them.
I would say the most similar book series I've read is the Sally Lockhart series by Pullman, except that this is set in modern London. there are some similar themes and characters, but that's absolutely to it's credit as I wanted something similarly engaging and well written.
I love the cast of characters, even the awful sister in law. Joseph is probably my favourite character, but I feel a longing to be more like Frieda.
I don't know if I can wait for my next credit to buy the final book of the series!! it's been left on such a cliffhanger (as all have been so far!). I'm sure I'll be excited to read more Nicci French after this too. I'm so pleased I found these books and I wish they were more widely talked about!

Good, but implausible

I enjoyed the book, and the narration. However the story seems pretty implausible in places. Why do the police not use modern forensic methods, or dogs for their searches? Would they really let a psychoanalyst sit in on suspect interviews? and many more unlikely aspects if the story. In spite of this, I enjoyed the book.

I listened to this series back to back and have enjoyed every book as much as the last. Such clever writing and plot twists. Can't recommend enough.

Gripping.

The whole series has been a page turner from beginning to end.

I’m sorry to have finished with the family Freida built around her.

I feel the end has been left in a place for her to return !!!??

Excellent

One of the best series I have Read!

Superb series and every story is gripping and the characters are all interesting. Brilliantly narrated and would make a great movie or tv series. I hope there is more coming thank you.

Brilliant story, will miss Frieda and her friends

What a series, an unusual woman, and unusual series but what a set of characters, they kept me interested and engaged throughout the series. I shall miss them all.
