Story
When a man is found tucked up in bed with his throat sliced open two days after Christmas, DS Jason Smith and his team are baffled. It appears he has been drugged, killed, and carefully wrapped up in a duvet. The only evidence Smith finds are some strands of hair belonging to a woman. One month later, another man is killed in exactly the same manner but there appears to be no link whatsoever to the two men apart from the fact that they were both single, lonely, and middle-aged.

TERRIBLE, Nauseating Narration
Of all the audible books to which I have listened, this was the WORST narrator I have ever heard. He sounds like he is a 12-year-old from Boston. WHERE to they get these people? I couldn’t take it. I listened to one chapter and skipped to the last two chapters just to see how the book ended. His voice for Jason Smith is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL. Trust me—Read the book. Don’t waste your money on this audio version.

Best one yet
This is the fifth book in the series so you do ideally have needed to read at least a couple of previous books just so you get an idea of the chemistry between the team and also to see what DS Smith has had to go through in his short career as this book starts shortly after Book 4, where his house was burnt down and he is recovering from that. This time Smith is close to retiring when some children are kidnapped and found murdered so he and the team have to investigate. There is a new member of the team, DI Brownhill who replaces DI Chalmers with his promotion. I really wasn't sure how to take DI Brownhill as she comes across as a mean old woman, but throughout the story her character develops nicely and the way she is written makes a brilliant counterpart to Smith. This book is a lot more intense than the previous ones as it involves the kidnapping and murder of children, and also what appears to be unrelated murders to start with, until Smith has investigated and finally found the link. I am really enjoying this series and this book is definitely the best to date, the story line and characters all make it an engaging book. I can't believe the stuff that Stewart puts Smith through in this series and this book is the same, with Smith getting involved in drugs and also almost being killed at least once during the book.
