About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The Sunday Times bestseller

Three missing women

When three teachers disappear without a trace, Sergeant Lindsay Boxer takes the lead in the investigation. But with no clues and no suspects, the odds of finding the women alive are getting slimmer by the second.

Two impossible cases

Under pressure at work, Lindsay needs support at home. But her husband Joe is drawn into an encounter with a woman who's seen a ghost - a notorious war criminal from her Eastern European home country, walking the streets of San Francisco.

One determined detective

When Joe's informant disappears, the two investigations collide. It will take the combined skills of Lindsay, Joe and the entire Women's Murder Club to protect their city, and themselves, from a monster.

Everything you love about Patterson and the Women's Murder Club – smart characters, shocking twists, and a villain so evil you count down to the very last page to discover what will happen next. (Lisa Gardner)
I absolutely loved it and couldn't turn the pages quickly enough. Great plot, fantastic storytelling and characters that spring off the page – all the right ingredients for a thriller!
Absolutely terrific, high octane, really pacy ... sets the bar for thrilling reads and this book delivers everything we've come to love in a Patterson novel. Every scene is a film, every character real and every plot point leaves us breathless. (Jo Spain)

Maybe under the pressure to release the next book in the series (and all the other titles that seem to be released in the meantime) the quality and depth of the stories are decreasing.
The narrator was great as always
