Publisher's Summary

Winner of the Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut.

The killer is in sight, but who is behind you?

Homicide detective Frank Bennett feels like the luckiest man on the force when he meets his new partner, the dark and beautiful Eden Archer. But there’s something strange about Eden and her brother, Eric. Something he can’t quite put his finger on.

At first, as they race to catch a very different kind of serial killer, his partner’s sharp instincts come in handy. But soon Frank’s wondering if she’s as dangerous as the man they hunt.

Story was great, narrator not so much

Really enjoyed the story, but the narrators voice was far too gravelly and deep, which grated on me.

Great story & riveting narrater

Candice Fox is an excellent story teller and this entire series is thoroughly enjoyable. Lani John Tupu brings the story to life with his exciting narration and resonate voice.

Too much cruelty

I only got to one hour mark but the level of described cruelty against animals made me switch the hook off and return it. Not sure why scenes of twisting birds necks off and cutting mice ears off with the scalpel have to be portrayed in such details. Riding on cruelt and shock factor is not a good feature!

A tour de force

Very hard to believe this is a debut novel - absolutely fabulous, and can't wait to 'read' the next one of hers. Superbly narrated / performed by Lani John Tupu as well

I am loving Candice and Lani

This is the fifth book I’ve listen to that Candice has either written or co-authored and I am loving her work. I don’t have any flash works to critique her work, other than Candice writes a fabulous story that flows well and is compelling.
I have listened to a few books narrated by Lani (most of those are Candice’s books) and I find he is the perfect match for Candice’s books.
On to the next one now...🙃

Just too grim

I don’t know if it’s the narrator or subject matter but Christ on a bike this was grim. There’s a few authors I find just too depressing, such as Mo Hayder, and I suspect this author is just not my thing. Didnt finish, returned it for a credit when I felt it was going down the Dexter path cos life is too short to not love what you’re listening too imho

Good Story

Strong voice over so definitely listen to the sample first. The pauses between chapters were too short which sometimes confused the story line. Good story and characters that you began to care about.

Worth the money

An engaging story line and excellent narrator. One of the best narrators I’ve heard. Definitely worth buying.

title character isn't really the focus of the story and he should be.

only likeable character was hades and he's not the focus of the story for the majority of it.
