About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Behind Dead Eyes by Howard Linskey, read by Kieran Bew.

A Mystery Victim

A corpse is found, its identity extinguished in the most shocking manner imaginable. Detective Ian Bradshaw can't catch the killer if no one can ID the victim. Out there, somewhere, a missing young woman may hold the answers.

A Secret Web

Journalist Helen Norton is about to uncover a massive criminal conspiracy. She just needs the final piece of the puzzle. Soon she will learn the price of the truth.

An 'Innocent' Killer

True-crime writer Tom Carney receives letters from a convicted murderer who insists he is innocent. His argument is persuasive - but psychopaths are often said to be charming....

What is the dark thread running through these crimes?

Critic Reviews

Praise for Howard Linskey: "One of the best new writers around. This is a must-read series." (Mark Billingham)
"Linskey has taken a sharp swerve towards the big time.... He has elevated his writing to a level of complexity and humanity seldom approached by British writers previously. A new name on our criminal horizon." (Maxim Jakubowski)
"This is lacerating fare that makes most current crime fiction look like thin gruel." (Financial Times)
"Brilliant.... This is first class stuff, an unstoppable tale, a real page-turner not to be missed." (Sarah Broadhurst)
"Linskey delivers a flawless feel for time and place, mixed with unrelenting pace." [The Times (Top Five Thrillers of the Year)]
"Immensely satisfying, utterly compelling. Prepare to add another name to your must-read list." (Eva Dolan)

I adore this series and can’t wait till the next one. Unfortunately for me I listened to them in the wrong order but each book does stand alone.

Loved it

I Enjoyed The Book. Three story lines moved well between main characters with interesting events unfolding all the while.

it's the first book I've bought by this author, I'm buying a second immediately because he's a great writer.

The publisher's notes tell you all you need for a synopsis, so I don't need to tell more.

The story lines are topical and will not date over time, that makes the book's enjoyment durable for a few decades.

Buy the book, you won't be disappointed with content or narrator, who is brilliant and added polish to the whole audio experience.

Great story with convincing characters, excellent narration highly recommended to keep you riveted to the very end.

Twists and turns

Such a dull and boring storyline and the narrator did not deliver! Absolute awful book.

Terrible

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Had trouble staying with it during the first half. Blah blah blah, monotonous tone. The story had some intrigue and by second half I was piecing together the parts I'd stopped listening to and became fascinated.
Considered going back to start but not to repeat listening to that voice. It'll probably make a good TV series because the story is good and just needs some speed and oomph.

Blah blah, Oh finally, nearly good.

no plot, terrible lifeless narration and boring characters make this a waste of time and money.
