About this listen

A woman is murdered in an empty house. Within 24 hours there is another horrific murder using the same method. The detectives soon deduce that the victims are random, but the locations are not. The killer looks for the right house - somewhere he won't be disturbed.

When a man confesses, it looks like the case is closed, but Detective Stephen Greco is unconvinced. Can he keep control when things get personal?

Another excellent story from the author. I also really like the narration. It’s very well executed.

A Great Story

Enjoyed this book which is starting to show an interesting direction for this series. I'm liking its raw rural-ness. Short stories compared to others but just as packed with the highs and lows you'd expect.

Building to an interesting series

DI Greco and the team are slowly starting to gel and they’ll need their top game to tackle a killer who is torturing and murdering women in empt houses. But is the mentally unstable man who confesses the sole perpetrator or is someone else the pulling strings? Meanwhile, Greco and his ex-wife’s reconciliation hits a huge speed bump. Phew, well-written and fast-paced. I have to say I haven’t really warmed to the characters but I’m enjoying the cases a lot. Greco’s life is definitely bleak both professionally and personally. Greco is never a happy man but he’s at his most purposeful when he’s in the midst of a case. It’s not exactly a surprise that those around him feel ignored or weighed down by his broodiness whether at work or at home. UK actor Nicholas Camm narrates well.

Dark in mood, dark in character!

a very cleverly woven tale full of interesting twist and turns and i was left guessing right till the end... highly recommended. i usually prefer to read a real book or ebook but as i have been unwell lately and unable to remain upright for fear of nausea, this form of helping pass the time is wonderful.

Enthralling to the end

The narrator’s whispering is absolutely murdering this series! The story was engrossing enough, but it’s maddening to miss details when the narrator whispers.
