About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Love Me Not by M. J. Arlidge, read by Elizabeth Bower.

She Loves Me

A woman's body lies in the road. At first it looks like a tragic accident. But when Helen Grace arrives on the scene it's clear she's looking at a coldblooded killing. But why would anyone target a much-loved wife and mother?

She Loves Me Not

Across town, a shopkeeper is killed while his customers are left unharmed. But what lies behind the killer's choices?

She Loves Me

Who lives? Who dies? Who's next? The clock is ticking.

She Loves Me Not

If Helen can't solve this deadly puzzle then more blood will be shed. But any mistake and it might be her own....

Bought this book based on the fact I've read the rest of the series from the start, the initial books were dark, suspenseful with well constructed plots. I thought the previous book was a dip in form but this hits new lows. I'm unlikely to buy the next.

Disappointed

regretfully, in my view, not as good as the other books in this series. Sorry

slightly disappointed

Has the author been watching too much 24 series. Having each chapter, start at a time was strange, especially the last few chapters as that was also different days. Good (ish) listen. Yet from hide and seek you get no in between. As an avid fan, I wanted desperately to know what had happened in that time. Since this is a series, surely they should go hand in hand. I like Helen Grace a lot, so don’t change her from the character, for myself and possibly other fans.

Different style

As most reviewers have mentioned, this book is set in real time so it gives it a real feel.
I disagree with some saying that Helen is moody in this because if you've read the other books then you could forgive her for her darker attitude but because of the fast pace in this book then her darkness doesn't really come through.
Very mixed emotions for the bad guys in this book. M J Aldridge has an amazing way of making you feel sorry and sadness one minute then hate and anger the next. Again, there were moments of gasps, shouting at the speaker, cliff hangers.....Ive now listened to all 7 books in 2 and half months and I'm really really hoping that book 8 is on its way.
Get this book and enjoy the ride.

Another gripping book

I read most of this in one day. The story was really good and kept me wondering.
No real twists or anything like that just a really exciting crime book.
Glad that Helen Grace is back!!!

Really Gripping!

I am a massive fan of this series. I have invested so much in DI Helen Grace. I think this is the 7th and there is novellas as well. She is an excellent character. This book however didn’t excite me as much as the others.

The story for me was extremely weak. Arlidge uses short, sharp and punchy chapters throughout the series. There was no change here, but whereas the other books left me desperate to just have one more chapter hit, this left me just wanting the book to finish.

I am not keen on writing more negative reviews as it must have taken a lot of hard work to write however I need to be honest.

Having said this, I will definitely continue with the series and hope that this was just a blip in my own personal enjoyment.

Do not read this as a one off; but do pick up the series at the start of you haven’t already.

Weaker than the rest of the series

I have read them all and this one doesn’t fail…however when you get to Chapter 56 it says ‘next chapter’ however the story actually jumps back 10 chapters so you have to manually skip forward to find your place again.
Apart from that narration perfect

Another Excellent Helen Grace -Error in audio

MJ Arlidge has a wonderful way with words and the narrator captures the tone perfectly Helen Grace is a greatly troubled character but one is strangely drawn to her. More please!!!!
