The instant Sunday Times bestseller. 'A deftly-written whodunnit' Jennie Godfrey

There's a killer on the airwaves… and they're calling for you.

Darkness looms over sunny Sidmouth, when an unsolved murder comes to the attention of late-night radio talk show host Edward Temmis.

Recently sacked from his beloved job, Edward meets Stevie, whose grandmother died in a suspicious fire. Well, nobody hurts his listeners and helping Stevie might just give him the purpose he needs.

Reinvigorated, Edward joins forces with Stevie and his old fling, Kim, only to uncover a sinister plot.

Can they get to the bottom of this mystery before it’s too late?

'Hugely enjoyable' Janice Hallett

The narration was terrible, no emotion and monotone, it was difficult to understand when the narrator had swapped to a different character and one of the characters was supposed to have tourettes!!
