Critic reviews
"A tense, nail-biting story with a truly twisted ending." (Katerina Daimond)
“An established master of the serial killer novel takes us on another dangerous journey through the streets of Sheffield. Watch out for those twists - you won't see them coming!” (Stephen Booth)
"A gritty and atmospheric thriller with more twists and turns than a hangman's knot. I loved it." (Matt Hilton)

Very enjoyable story and well read
Very enjoyable story with good twists and turns. The culprit was a little more predictable than her other books, but still very good story. Very well read.

Excellent Performance
This is a well written plot which kept me guessing with strong characters and I am becoming a fan of Matilda Darke but the experience is greatly enhanced by the voice actor. Great narration in particular towards the final chapters as the tension builds.
There is quite a bit of police jolly female banter in this tale which I think I would struggle to read from the text and might have given up but the voice actor makes it all work and I have enjoyed listening.
I feel that this female DI would make a good television series.

Loved this one right up until the end.
Finished this one very quickly. Didn’t wanna stop listening! And now a cliffhanger! “Errr mah god!” as Matilda would say. Onto the next!
