About this listen

 THE THIRD TOM REYNOLDS MYSTERY FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE PERFECT LIE

As he scanned the glade, his stomach lurched. One, two, three, four. Five, counting the mound of earth disturbed under the tent. Somebody had cleared the earth of its natural layer and sown their own flowers. In five places. Five graves.

A young woman, Fiona Holland, has gone missing from a small Irish village. A search is mounted, but there are whispers. Fiona had a wild reputation. Was she abducted, or has she run away?

A week later, a gruesome discovery is made in the woods at Ireland's most scenic beauty spot - the valley of Glendalough. The bodies are all young women who disappeared in recent years. D.I. Tom Reynolds and his team are faced with the toughest case of their careers - a serial killer, who hunts vulnerable women, and holds his victims captive before he ends their lives.

Soon the race is on to find Fiona Holland before it's too late. . .

Thoroughly enjoyed this book by Jo Spain. Had read the other books in the series but somehow missed this one so it filled in some of the gaps . Love Tom’s character, a caring, intelligent & clever police officer with a soft personal side.

Aoife McMahon is a brilliant narrator. She managed to bring out each of the characters idiosyncrasies. I will get a book just because she is narrating. A good thrilling story too.
