About this listen

 Thirteen-year-old Ava Bonney possesses an unusual intellect far beyond her years. While her friends play, Ava's fascination lies in the intricate process of animal decomposition, studying roadkill found in the streets around her home.

But, one night, Ava's secret nocturnal routine takes a chilling turn when she stumbles upon the lifeless body of fellow schoolmate, Mickey Grant.

As Detective Seth Delahaye takes charge of the perplexing case, Ava refuses to sit idle. Determined and resourceful, she embarks on a daring quest to unveil the truth behind the string of chilling deaths plaguing her community.

Armed with her unique skills and unrivalled local knowledge, Ava becomes an unlikely force in the race to apprehend the elusive killer before more lives are claimed.©2024 Marie Tierney (P)2024 Bonnier Books UK Amateur Sleuths Crime Thrillers Detective Fiction Mystery Police Procedural Psychological Thriller Thriller & Suspense Crime Suspense

Really enjoyed everything about this book. Wonderfully rich characters with a twisty turny storyline. Brilliantly narrated.

Absolutely excellent

What a stellar offering from Maria Tierney. Readers would want to be Ava, be terrified for her and cry for her. Maria’s writing breaths life into characters, places and horrific events. I really hope she keeps writing these books as she has a real talent for that. Please don’t miss this one if you love good books with brilliant protagonists.

Really enjoyed this quirky debut novel and what a debut. An enjoyable original and well thought out plot, that will keep you guessing and enthralled. Great rounded characters, especially Ava, who you will love. I would strongly recommend reading this one and hope to see many more books by this author to come.

At last we have a detective who doesn't have a 'background'. Delahay is refreshing. Ava is amazing, she is intelligent and her interests fit in really well. Narrator is great too. Love that it is set in the 80's before a lot of techniques and technology were around. Really hoping there will be more in the series.

Loved the whole experience
