On the eve of their thirtieth birthday, twins Jasmine and Nicolas Moretti celebrate late into the night. But when Nicolas wakes several hazy hours later, Jasmine is dead—and he is covered in her blood. Panicking, he takes the murder weapon and runs into the cold Stockholm night. For the police, it’s an open-and-shut case. Nicolas is guilty. And given that he remembers so little of what happened that night, even he isn’t convinced of his innocence.

Disappointed

Summary
To catch a villain, sometimes you have to become one.
Bailey's back! From the best-selling author of Jailbird.
Detective Constable Bailey Morgan is back doing what she does best - working undercover. This time she has to infiltrate the inner circle of a notorious underworld family. Posing as a fellow villain, she is on a one-woman mission to bring the family to their knees.
But things are never that simple. Bailey finds that she is forced to confront shadowy wraiths from her past and will come face-to-face with a set of devastating revelations that will shatter her world and threaten her very existence.
With only herself to trust, Bailey is on her own and the stakes are higher than ever.
Heart-stopping and gripping. Perfect for the fans of hit TV shows such as Line of Duty and Gangs of London.

Disappointing after the first book
I was really looking forward to listening to this book after I enjoyed the author's first novel Jailbird. I guess this was quite entertaining but the story was totally ridiculous and the cockney accents were irritating (apart from Nancy's voice which was good).

Unrealistic in many ways
This book has threads of an interesting story running through it, but the many twists are obvious but totally unbelievable. But my main gripe with this book is the narration. Every gangster talks like a comic stereotypical parody, which I imagine is supposed to be menacing, but just isn't. Sorry, but cannot recommend this book.

Narration just annoying
Quite a good story line albeit rather far fetched and irritating with the constant repitition of Mr Figgis.
The narrator has a good clear speaking voice and when she is not trying to create tension and drama is pleasing to listen to. However the technique of dramatic pause on every word in a failed attempt to add tension and pace DOES NOT WORK. The phrasing is just all wrong. I wonder if the narrator listened to it herself.

MacGyver-ish
It's a fun story, but completely unrealistic. The so-called villains, or mobsters sound like bumbling idiots. Totally cliche to think that a mobster brings a bag of power tools wherever they go. Also, the way that the mobsters talk is just incredulous. I could pick apart the entire story but I won't, It was fine,it passed the time and was decent as a fairy tale-ish story. Based on this book and the previous one I just read about the jail, It's apparent that this character can get out of any situation with a stick of gum and a rubber band.

Another welcome audiction!
I do so enjoy my British psychological thrillers and this is yet another reason why. Thinking this book’s storyline would not be for me, again I was wrong. I devoured this devious adventure with fervor whenever I had free time. Authoress Caro Savage delivers a suspenseful and darkly unique offering. Add to this, multi-talented narrator Genevieve Swallow brings each character to vivid life. Never a dull moment, “Villain” moves at a perfect pace, drawing me in and never letting go. Plenty of action, emotions, danger and trust issues Intertwined with two mystery subplots makes it wicked-good. Following Detective Constable Bailey Morgan, get ready for your jaw to meet the floor throughout. Just when I thought it was near the end I was not ready for, I was thrilled as this captivating thriller continued. An awesome nod to the talented duet of Savage and Swallow, along with Audible for making this available in its Plus catalogue at no cost. I’ve been lucky and have found a choice of hidden gems. Recommended? Indeed! Worth a cherished credit as well. I don’t know what took me so long to get it. I’m ecstatic I finally did. I look forward to more by this well-paired duo. Again, I’m shrieking from my rooftop, Epic, I say! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!
