About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The third novel in the gripping Will Trent series, from the Sunday Times bestselling crime and thriller author.

Now a major TV Series on Disney+

Sara Linton had moved to Atlanta hoping to leave her past behind her.

But when a severely wounded young woman is brought in to the emergency room, she finds herself drawn back into a world of violence and terror.

When Special Agent Will Trent visits the scene of the incident, he stumbles on a torture chamber buried beneath the earth.

It's clear that this woman is not the only victim of a sick, sadistic killer.

Wrestling the case away from the local police chief, Will and his partner Faith Mitchell soon find themselves at the centre of a grisly murder hunt.

Haunted by their own wounds and secrets, do Will and Faith have what it takes to stand between a madman and his next crime?

Critic Reviews

Without doubt an accomplished, compelling and complex tale, with page-turning power aplenty
Slaughter's plotting is relentless, piling on surprises and twists ... A good read that should come with a psychological health warning
Criminally spectacular
It's beautifully paced, appropriately grisly, and terrifyingly plausible. Who says there's anything peaceful and quiet about small-town America
Brilliantly chilling
Confirms her at the summit of the school of writers specialising in forensic medicine and terror
A great read ... crime fiction at its finest (Michael Connelly)
A superior, deeply satisfying thriller
A fast-paced and unsettling story ... A compelling and fluid read
The writing is lean and mean, and the climax will blow you away
All stars

Sometimes l get the feeling that the narrators have not read the book before their performance and the narrative becomes disjointed, losing intended meaning, at times even a little boring and certainly lacking professionalism. Contrast your average story-teller with the books you've listened to read by a professional actor - no comparison!
And so it is with this book and while the plot is interesting to a point, something is missing, ah that's it, more story around the villain please.
Not the usual talented fiction l've come to expect from this author and absolutely a poor narration.
