Summary

A naked woman in red high-heeled shoes is perched on the edge of Clifton Suspension Bridge with her back pressed to the safety fence, weeping into a mobile phone. Clinical psychologist Joseph O'Loughlin is only feet away, desperately trying to talk her down. She whispers, 'you don't understand,' and jumps.

Later, Joe has a visitor - the woman's teenage daughter, a runaway from boarding school. She refuses to believe that her mother would have jumped off the bridge - not only would she not commit suicide, she is terrified of heights.

Joe wants to believe her, but what would drive a woman to such a desperate act? Whose voice? What evil?

I always enjoy Robotham's work, and I did this time, but the story itself was really dark and at its most extreme moments I nearly bailed.

A bit too dark

The tension is almost constant in this gripping thriller. This is not only in terms of the plot but also in the relationships between the characters - whether it be Joe and his wife or Joe and the killer he chases. When things get a little too close to home, we see Joe at his best and his worst as he is forced to set aside the mantle of advisor, finding himself a player in the play. A great book from a consistently great author.

Really enjoyed this book, my first with the lead Joe O’Loughlan. Was very engaging from the start and gripping until the end. Initially I didn’t really find the narrator easy to listen too but I really warmed to him.

Loved it from the start
