Summary
 Frieda Klein reluctantly faces a case that penetrates to her very core. Saturday Requiem is classic Nicci French - a dark, gripping and sophisticated masterclass in psychological suspense in which nothing is quite what it seems . . .

Thirteen years ago eighteen year old Hannah Docherty was arrested for the brutal murder of her family. It was an open and shut case and Hannah's been incarcerated in a secure hospital ever since.

When psychotherapist Frieda Klein is asked to meet Hannah and give her assessment of her she reluctantly agrees. What she finds horrifies her. Hannah has become a tragic figure, old before her time. And Frieda is haunted by the thought that Hannah might be as much of a victim as her family; that something wasn't right all those years ago.

And as Hannah's case takes hold of her, Frieda soon begins to realise that she's up against someone who'll go to any lengths to protect themselves . . .

Saturday Requiem is the sixth addictive and intriguing novel in the Frieda Klein series by the bestselling author Nicci French.

I loved this series and was thrilled with all the twists that I didn't guess can't wait for the next one

Great read

Beth Chalmers is a fantastic narrator. The whole story, characters and performance came together brilliantly.

Brilliant as always with Frieda Klein

It was an interesting, engaging plot, although it is evident this is not a stand alone novel, as characters were referred to without explanation or development, and references made to past events that were obviously from previous books. The narrator reads well, but was a bit chipmunk-ish, and the male characters were not very distinguishable. A good listen nonetheless.

Good plot, not first in series

Adequately entertaining story. But the narrators voice was nails on a chalkboard!!!! Soooo irritating! Didn't make me turn it off but it did irritate me throughout
