Story
In a north London high street, a runaway vehicle crashes to a halt. The man in the driving seat was murdered a week earlier. On Hampstead Heath, a bonfire blazes: in the flames lies the next victim. As autumn leaves fall, a serial killer runs amok in the capital, playing games with the police. The death toll is rising fast, and the investigation is floundering. But this is no ordinary killer, and every new victim is intended as a message to just one woman. Because psychologist Frieda Klein is in hiding. And someone is coming to find her....

So how far is she prepared to go to protect those she loves? And who does she really know? And who can she trust? A liar. A cheat. A threat. Neve Connolly is all these things.

They say your memory can't be trusted. They say your story doesn't check out. They say you were never blindfolded...starved...or imprisoned in a filthy shed like an animal. But you know it happened. And you know it can happen again. This masterful novel of brilliantly drawn characters and harrowing suspense will shock you at every turn and force you to walk the fine line between madness and fear. Nicci French is the pseudonym for the writing partnership of journalists Nicci Gerrard and Sean French.

Cop Out
I love this series and listened to them all in order. Great plots and narration. I realise the titles have been successively days of the week- this one being the last day of one week. If this IS the final one - which I hope it isn't - then the ending is a cop out and Nikki French have not done a good end. They've fudged it. Or maybe they couldn't agree???!!!! I hope this is NOT the last we'll hear of Frida Klein.

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!

Disappointing but easily listenable.
I have enjoyed nicci french books in the past. This one I think suffered two flaws not seen in others I have listened to. An overly far fetched plot and characters I could not really empathise or identify with. Could not fault the narration though.

How old is this girl? I’m sure she is 17 or 18 - not 14 years old. I wish someone really would see her off. The constant whining and moaning on and on... Still - she must have had a difficult time of it - the mother is half crazy too.
