Publisher's Summary

Repent in this life, rejoice in the next....

A murder made to look like suicide. Another that appears an accident. DI Barton investigates the tragedies that have shattered a family’s lives, but without obvious leads, the case goes nowhere. Then, when the remains of a body are found, everything points to one suspect.

Barton and his team move quickly, and once the killer is behind bars, they can all breathe a sigh of relief. But death still lurks in the shadows, and no one's soul is safe. Not even those of the Detectives....

How do you stop a killer that believes life is a rehearsal for eternity and their future is worth more than your own?

Ross Greenwood writes gritty, heart-pounding thrillers, with twists aplenty and unforgettable endings. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Stuart MacBride.

Soul Killer

Great story line. Well written and easy to “read” style of the author. I’m really enjoying his books. His characters are well rounded and relateable.
Narration and editing is solid. Narrator is easy to listen to and voices and accents are quite good.
Looking forward to the next one in the series

Absolutely Brilliant!

One of the best psychological thrillers I’ve come across. Great story, strong, believable characters and the twists and turns just keep on coming. A fascinating analysis into the mind of a twisted killer. I couldn’t stop listening!

Murder Novel with a difference

Hardly a murder mystery but a great story just the same, where you actually get to like the offender, or at least sympathise with him. Lots of dark humour and very well performed.

Brilliant

I’m really enjoying this series. It’s taken me awhile to get used to the narrator, but the storylines are so good and I love the comedy value in it as well and how the characters backstory is starting to intertwine. I can’t wait to read the next one

I ❤️ Ross Greenwood!

How this author ✍️ writes a lot of comedy into his otherwise grizzly crime stories, without it being inappropriate, continues to astound me. I would guess it’s cause his comedy only involves their private lives not the actual crimes.
I LOVE IT! It’s so well written.
Oh yeah! The narrator is rather excellent too.

Okay but not great

Enjoyable enough but not as good as the first book. The police came across as likable but very slow. The ending was also a huge disappointment.

Crazy great

Narrator is exceptional. Enjoyed the book but still have questions. Are the specials still in the coal bunker? Did Claudia get charged for what she did?

Narration poor.

Enjoyed the story but had difficulty following which character was which…narrators tone was virtually the same all the way through.
It was a very easy going, nearly humorous murder story…so a bit different from a scary, edge of your seat type story.

Stunning. Compelling. Brilliantly read!

Another masterwork of crime-fiction. DI Barton is the new sheriff in town indeed. Can’t wait for the next episode
