About this listen
Murder. It’s a family affair.
In the midst of one of the worst winters Chicago has seen in years, the body of missing teenager Ella Reynolds is discovered under the surface of a frozen lake.
She’s been missing for three weeks...the lake froze over three months ago.
Detective Sam Porter and his team are brought in to investigate, but it’s not long before another girl goes missing. The press believes the serial killer Anson Bishop has struck again, but Porter knows differently. The deaths are too different. There’s a new killer on the loose.
Porter, however, is distracted. He’s still haunted by Bishop and his victims, even after the FBI have removed him from the case. His only leads: a picture of a female prisoner and a note from Bishop: ‘Help me find my mother. I think it’s time she and I talked.’
As more girls go missing and Porter’s team race to stop the body count rising, Porter disappears to track down Bishop’s mother and discover that the only place scarier than the mind of a serial killer is the mind of the mother from which he came.
Perfect for fans of Helen Fields, Val McDermid and Jo Nesbo, this gripping and twisted thriller will have you wondering, how do you stop a killer when he’s been trained from birth?

"J.D. Barker is a one-of-a-kind writer and that’s a rare and special thing. Stephen King comes to mind and Lee Child, John Sanford. All one-of-a-kinds. Don’t miss anything J.D. writes." (James Patterson)
"Not since Hannibal Lecter had a friend for dinner has a serial killer been so skillfully rendered on the page." (Taylor Elmore, writer/producer of Justified and Limitless)
"Gritty, masterful suspense. A dark ride into the mind of a genius killer, and those tasked with stopping him for good. Impeccably written with Barker’s trademark wit and penchant for killer detail. Lee Child, you've met your match." (Tosca Lee, New York Times best-selling author)

Does he talk like this in real life?
Who the hell listened to a sample of this dude and said "yes! This is the robotic voice we need!"
And why the hell did they not get the AMAZING narrator from the first book!
I can not articulate enough how much this dude destroyed J. D Barkers amazing book.
Wish I read this instead.
Terrible narrator buy the book instead

A continuation of a great story - I found myself hating Detective Porter and wishing he would just grow a pair and stop having one long pity party.
Again, the editing was superb and you could be excused for thinking 133 chapters is a little too much, but you’d be wrong. I did feel on this one the ending was a little jumbled. I would have preferred the author to deal with one ending at a time instead of weaving them altogether- for me, this made the connections a little difficult to manage.
I cannot wait to read more titles from JD Barker as they become available and can only see him becoming a highly popular author.
