About this listen

 A naked woman in red, high-heeled shoes is poised 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 also afraid of heights. Joe wants to believe her, for how could a woman be driven to such a desperate act? And who might drive her to it? A terrifying psychological thriller, Shatter delves into the darkest recesses of the human mind.

I didn't enjoy this nearly as much as his other stuff.
It started off very promising, but by halfway it became predictable and hard to keep going, even it wasn't a long story, 5 hours, not his usual 10 or 12 hour ones.

not as good as usual

I like the way Robthem writes, this book has suspense throughout, with terrifyingly real fear for parents, which makes it a great nail biting read.

Cunning deception and nail biting story line
