About this listen

ALL KILLERS WANT TO MAKE THE FRONT PAGE...

It was supposed to be a simple case: a young man arrested for armed assault.

But it was just the beginning.

As Rodney Middleton awaits trial, Detective Jack Warr is warned by his mentor DCI Ridley that they have only scratched the surface of the man's crimes.

Then DCI Ridley is suddenly removed from his post. No one is to contact him - and no one will say why.

As Warr digs into Middleton's past, Ridley calls pleading for help, now accused of a murder he insists he didn't commit.

To catch a monster and exonerate his friend, Warr must weed out the lies. But what awaits Warr if he uncovers the truth?

I loved the story, each time a new book comes out, I re read the previous ones. Although Nathaniel did a good job, Alex really is Jack and portrayed Penny far better. Nathaniel makes Penny sound ineffective rather than a primary character. Can’t wait for the next book. Lynda you are one of my most favourite authors, please keep up the amazing work. 🤩

Jack Warr is Awesome

Enjoyed the complexity and exacting nature of this police procedural. It was a bit chilling but fascinating. The characters are wonderfully written too. Will continue listening if there are more in this series.

Riveting!

Little bit intense on the anger at supposed friend and partner when you are a person with such detective skills and the ability to understand the psych of those around you

Determination

Really enjoyed the first two books. This one was average at best. Primary plot was ok. Secondary plot started strong but faded fast. Hoping it’s an aberration in what has been a strong series.

Not as engaging a previous Jack WARR books
