I was almost wishing that my commute wasn’t over yet because I wasn’t done listening and I didn’t want to stop. Very well narrated, really captivating story, good character development (consistent with book 1). Will look forward to more books from this series!

Absolutely loved it. Summed everything up. Evie is fantastic and wish there was more about her in future books. Great story but also shows that sometimes you just can’t beat the bad man ( at least in the justice system )

Michael Robotham delivers again! I enjoyed this book more than the first in the series. Already familiar with the characters it was just so easy to pick up the feeling of the story and be totally immersed. Loved it!

Suspense right til the last...

I began listening to this book prior to the first book that a Michael released. I was unaware that there was another book due to the fantastic writing that still informed me of all backstories. The narrator was fantastic, his ability to change his voice to suit the characters were amazing. I didn’t want to stop listening. Broke my heart when I got to the end knowing I wouldn’t be listening to what happens next. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It’s a must listen/read!

Must listen!

The second part of the story of Angel Face. As gripping as the first. I look forward to another read from Michael Rowbotham.

Another I couldn't put down.
