Publisher's Summary
There were 54 victims before this. Who is number 55?
A thriller with a killer hook and an ending that will make you gasp!
Wilbrook in Western Australia is a sleepy, remote town that sits on the edge of miles and miles of unexplored wilderness. It is home to Police Sergeant Chandler Jenkins, who is proud to run the town’s small police station, a place used to dealing with domestic disputes and noise complaints.
All that changes on a scorching day when an injured man stumbles into Chandler’s station. He’s covered in dried blood. His name is Gabriel. He tells Chandler what he remembers.
He was drugged and driven to a cabin in the mountains and tied up in iron chains. The man who took him was called Heath. Heath told Gabriel he was going to be number 55. His 55th victim.
Heath is a serial killer.
As a manhunt is launched, a man who says he is Heath walks into the same station. He tells Chandler he was taken by a man named Gabriel. Gabriel told Heath he was going to be victim 55.
Gabriel is the serial killer.
Two suspects. Two identical stories. Which one is the truth?
James Delargy has written one of the most exciting debuts of 2019. He masterfully paints the picture of a remote Western Australian town and its people, swallowed whole by the hunt for a serial killer. This novel has been sold in 19 countries so far and has just been optioned for film.

The story line had a few flaws ..predictable in some places and sparked my interest in others.
It could have been a lot better if it had been read better. The Narrative was jumpy and expressionless
Wouldn’t recommend

Excellent
Never a dull moment. Moves at a steady pace and keeps you guessing for much of the book. Well narrated with real three dimensional characters woven into the plot. I loved it.

A twisty Crime Thriller I couldn't put down
James Deleargy has a gift for writing, that's for sure!
the whole time I was guessing and changing my opinion back and forth so it wasn't too predicatble
Even so, the character development was great because we got to see into Chandler's past and why he is the way he is now
I likes how the narrators voice was echoey when reading past events
it really helped distinguish timelines and not confuse the listener
I wont spoil the ending but James leaves us hanging for more!
keep writing dude 👍🏻

prepare to be short changed
I was totally absorbed by this original and well told tale. I was not expecting it to finish in such a completely inconclusive way. Books are not like a tv series. people pay for a book, and expect a conclusion. I was really wild that I had been conned into buying an audio book with no ending....buy the next is the answer. No thank you Amazon. This is a RIP off.

Wasn’t a bad story but seemed to fluff around
The story is good, it’s just the in between stuff/fillers that seemed to be a bit of a waste. Also the narrators female voice made me cringe a little.

Seriously wasted talent!
Fantastic writing had me captivated. Then what? Couple of unresolved story-lines and then a most unsatisfying ending. Did the writer just say to himself “ok - sick of this so I’ll just stop now”?
Vivid characters. Interesting descriptions. Disappointing lack of closure of a couple of issues that spoilt the whole experience and then ???? If this were television you’d be on the edge of your seat saying “ooooooo can’t wait for the next episode”. Maybe there’s another book coming to fill in the gaps??

Good story disappointing ending
Like the last chapter didn’t get read. Left up to our imagination I guess. But I like a book to have a proper end.

Honestly the worst ending ever
So disappointed with this book, started great and built and built then crumbled.
Honestly the WORST ending I have ever read/listened to.
Not a fan
