About this listen

Winner of the Ned Kelly Award for best crime novel.

The second instalment in the Archer & Bennett series, from the Sunday Times number one best-selling author, Candice Fox.

Most police duos run on trust, loyalty and the desire to see killers in court. But Detective Frank Bennett’s partner, the enigmatic Eden Archer, has nothing to offer him but danger. Eden doesn’t mind catching killers – but it’s not in the courthouse where her justice is served.

And now she is about to head undercover and it’s up to Frank to watch over her.

But as the darkness around Eden gathers, Frank begins to ask himself: is Eden saving lives, or taking them?

Frank is about to find out....

This was a pretty dark underworld, underbelly kind of book. the worse of humanity and the best of humanity. The story continues and now I have to see what happens!

What an ending!

So good. I didn’t think it could be as good as the first book in this series (Hades), but it was. Great stuff, read it!

Fantastic

Read this a month ago and still lingering.
Story based around several key characters and how their paths come together over the years. Some from severe hardship/mistreatment and some from the right side of life. Eden and her brother, and Hades, harsh and evil ... or just victims, and bringers of justice? Frank the detective, weak and human ... or just lonely, and good, and honest?
Builds on the characters and story from the first book, so maybe this fact makes it a little more cohesive and consistent ... or maybe I'm just getting used to the style and the theme.
The backward time jumps sometimes a little disconcerting, but the story slowly grows to terrific build up and tension filled unexpected (to me!) ending. Sometimes spicy, sometimes uncertain, but always drawing you to the next chapter. Great read / great narration. Is there a 3rd book in the series? Read the first book for context and enjoyment. This one steps up.

EDEN - 2nd Book in the Series even better !

Exemplary

Lacked the chapter to chapter intensity of Hades but still very good overall. A must listen if you are already invested after Hades.

Brilliantly narrated again

Solid sequel

Enjoyed this book more so because of the narrator’s performance. Lani John Tupu read with perfect pace at all the right times. One of the best voices I’ve listened to.

Great narrator.

Just as riveting as the first book, Hades...I can't wait to find out what happens next...

Riveting!

Wonderfully written, gritty yet light. The narrator is amazing too. I’m about to listen to book 3. Warning - you won’t be able to put these books down so make sure you have plenty of free time to binge read/listen.

One of the best series I’ve read/listened to in a very long time, will be recommending to everyone I know.
