Terrifyingly authentic, London-set debut crime novel with a psychological edge, by an ex-Met detective. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Peter James and Stuart MacBride.
How do you catch a killer who leaves no trace?
A young man is stabbed to death in his flat.
A woman has her throat slit in an abandoned lot.
No DNA. No witnesses. No fingerprints.
How do you catch a killer who leaves nothing behind?
DI Sean Corrigan can see the darkness behind James Hellier’s eyes. But a lack of evidence is makes it impossible to connect him to the crime. Can Sean and his team get this killer off the streets before another body is found?
The unmissable start to the DI Sean Corrigan series is perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and Peter James.

A good solid modern detective
I liked the character created in this with DI Corrigan. I also liked that other characters in the book were important too and had depth. It has a great twist in the story and the end leaves you thinking we could be hearing more from Corrigan (and maybe someone else). An enjoyable read.

Enjoyable but nothing like Stuart MacBride
Any additional comments?
I often wonder if the people reviewing these books have ever read the books they compare them with. This is nothing like Stuart Macbride or Mark Billingham. An interesting plot, slightly contrived, but on the whole a good listen. I think the main character will develop in series, however if the next title moves to NZ, I trust audible will find a New Zealand narrator and not depend on someone trying the accents. I thought the character had landed in the outback of Australia, not in Queenstown New Zealand. A minor point perhaps. Overall an enjoyable book.

title is an excellent description for this book
What made the experience of listening to Cold Killing the most enjoyable?
Good narration. Never a full moment. Easy to visualise characters.
What did you like best about this story?
It's twists and turns.
Have you listened to any of Robin Bowerman’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No. But have just downloaded another book by same author and narrator.

Daft plot, unbelievable behaviour
I really didn't like much about this book, having listened to the first chapter I nearly tossed the book as it was the meanderings of 'our killer' salivating about his kills.
I did stick it out and was drawn into the story.
As the story progressed I became unhappy with the characters, none at all likeable, and also with the behaviour of the police in planting evidence etc.
The plot was plain daft - we didn't really find out 'why', and the lead detective had an awareness of the criminal mind that was ridiculous, understanding things from a scene that just HAD to be assumptions.
Towards the end I did flip through several chapters as the drawn out saga was just too much to bear.
There was a lot of nasty descriptive violence which wasn't necessary.
This one is not for me at all, though I can see from the reviews that many people enjoyed it.

Nothing like Stuart McBride novels
Any additional comments?
I bought this book because it said in the publisher's review that it would appeal to readers of Stuart McBride. I feel like a total sucker! Dull, boring dialogue and thoroughly unlikable characters. Hated it
