About this listen

The best-selling author of With Our Blessing and Beneath the Surface.

The inspector frowned and examined the earth under the trees. As he scanned the glade, his stomach lurched. One, two, three, four. Five, counting the mound of earth disturbed under the tent. Somebody had cleared the earth of its natural layer and sown their own flowers. In five places. Five graves.

A young woman, Fiona Holland, has gone missing from a small Irish village. A search is mounted, but there are whispers. Fiona had a wild reputation. Was she abducted, or has she run away? A week later a gruesome discovery is made in the woods at Ireland's most scenic beauty spot - the valley of Glendalough.

The bodies are all young women who disappeared in recent years. DI Tom Reynolds and his team are faced with the toughest case of their careers - a serial killer who hunts vulnerable women and holds his victims captive before he ends their lives. Soon the race is on to find Fiona Holland before it's too late.

Very enjoyable listen.

I really like this series of books. Well written, well rounded characters and beautifully narrated. What more can you ask of an audio book?

Brilliant!

This is another amazing book from Jo Spain. It kept me gripped from beginning to end. Aoife McMahon’s narration is superb. You genuinely feel like you are listening to different people. I feel like I know Tom and the rest of the team. Can’t wait to listen to the next book in the series.

All round good book

I got into this book almost at once. I liked the accents and the narrators voice and pace. It's the type of detective novel I like, not over gruesome in the details, understandable storyline and background information. Good characters and satisfying result.

Cleverly written

Not my cup of tea because I struggle with traumatic stuff especially with kids involved but it was cleverly written. I chose it because I had read two Jo Spain books I had loved before which weren’t quite so grizzly. Lots of twists.

Great book, well read. Aoife McMahon has the Kind of voice you could listen to all day but certainly helped by a gripping story. What is more to say?
