Publisher's Summary

What’s in a label? Are we the product of our upbringing or do we have a natural propensity towards good or evil? The eternal question of nature vs nurture is at the centre of Dr Diane Buckley’s world. A talented freelance forensic psychologist who has never quite found the key to engaging with people on a casual level, she is drafted in to examine a grisly murder – a body found in a children’s playground.

The murder carries all hallmarks of one of her most famous incarcerated clients, ‘The Playground Killer’ (aka Alfred Dinklage) – namely the location of the body and the tongue being ‘forked’ like a snake with scissors. Buckley has a race against time to unpick the facts and delve into Dinklage’s often manipulative, complicated mind to understand his past to understand the present events – whilst striving to prevent further murders...as someone out there will stop at nothing to complete what they see as Dinklage’s work.

Featuring: Kathryn Anderson, Shaun Aylward, Rob James, Collier, Angela Griffin, Lara Hutchinson, Christopher John-Slater, Katherine Kelly, Simon Kent, Damian Lynch, Will Mellor, Gray O'Brien, Bhasker Patel, Jeremy Swift and Tom Turgoose.

Well made and very enjoyable

A well-made well written audio drama. The only issue I had with this was telling some of the voices apart with the male police men but I would definitely listen to another one made by the same people and author. Definitely worth listening to.

Excellent production!

Usually don’t like these type of audio books - full cast narrations. The music and sound effects are usually intrusive and characters hard to understand. But this one was perfect. The production added immensely to the story. Loved it

what on earth just happened?

I'm glad this was a freebie can I get a refund on my time though?

it went nowhere, none of the characters were even remotely likeable or interesting.
