About this listen

She was close enough to see that the girl had written a word on the wall in bright, warm red blood. Not a word, actually. A name...

Everyone in the small town of Denton is searching for Isabelle Coleman, a missing 17-year-old girl. All they've found so far is her phone and another girl they didn't even know was missing.

Mute and completely unresponsive to the world around her, it's clear this mysterious girl has been damaged beyond repair. All Detective Josie Quinn can get from her is a name: Ramona.

Currently suspended from the force for misconduct, Josie takes matters into her own hands as the name leads her to evidence linking the two girls. She knows the race is on to find Isabelle alive, and she fears there may be others....

The trail leads Josie to another victim, a girl who escaped but whose case was labelled a hoax by authorities. To catch this monster, Josie must confront her own nightmares and follow her instinct to the darkest of places. But can she make it out alive?

Fans of Angela Marsons, Helen Fields, and Robert Dugoni will be utterly gripped and listening long into the night once they discover the first in this unputdownable new crime thriller series.

I quite liked the storyline, which had a ‘Grant County’ series (Karin Slaughter) feel about it. Beware if you’re sensitive to poor narration.

Good story, bad narrator

Despite the plot being over the top and there not being anything new in the depiction of the main character, it was still a ‘page turner’ and enjoyable mystery/thriller.

Over the top but enjoyable.

Had I not been enjoying the actual story I would've given up on this book. Her voices and pace were HORRENDOUS!!

I'll be reading the books from now on !!

THE NARRATOR WAS TERRIBLE !!

One of the best audio books I’ve listened too. Compelling story & interesting characters. The story teller is so important - Eilidh Beaton i listen to heaps of audio books- you are the best, you brought the characters to life!

Brilliant!

If you enjoy a good detective story, this one doesn’t disappoint. Unfortunately, The narration didn’t match the main character; Josie Quinn sounded more like a petulant sorority girl than a detective. I found this narrator hard to listen to and consequently hard to take the main character seriously, although to be fair I do believe some characters were well narrated, such a Josie’s grandmother.

Narrator off putting

I really enjoyed this story and look forward to the rest of the series. I’m only sorry I listened to book 4 first.

The narration was also very good.

The suspense was kept up throughout the whole story.

Great Story

I started listening and couldn't stop; the suspense build-up was excellent.
The narrator was clear and expressive. I am so disappointed in the people who criticized the narrator and her pronunciation of certain words. If they had listened carefully, they would have heard her purposeful use of slightly different dialects to delineate the characters as they spoke.
I can't wait to read the next in the series.
This book is well worth buying!

Narrator was excellent.

I think the storyline had huge potential but it was hard to get through - the narrator made it incredibly difficult. She didn't change tones between characters and her voice seemed immature for the role.
