Publisher's summary

The greater the Evil, the more deadly the game....

When a rapist is found mutilated in a brutal attack, Detective Kim Stone and her team are called in to bring a swift resolution. But, as more vengeful killings come to light, it soon becomes clear that there is someone far more sinister at work.

With the investigation quickly gathering momentum, Kim finds herself exposed to great danger and in the sights of a lethal individual undertaking their own twisted experiment.

Up against a sociopath who seems to know her every weakness, for Detective Stone, each move she makes could be deadly. As the body count starts to mount, Kim will have to dig deeper than ever before to stop the killing. And this time - it's personal.

The rising star of the British thriller scene returns with a novel that enthrall fans of Rachel Abbott, Val McDermid and Mark Billingham.

Watch out for more from D.I. Kim Stone

A detective hiding dark secrets, Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent. Evil Games is the second book in the series - see where it all began in Silent Scream - out now.

Critic reviews

"Stunning." ( The Mail on Sunday)
"I absolutely loved it...This one is one of the best crime thrillers I've read in a long time, and that includes mainstream authors such as James Patterson!" (Fiona's Book Reviews)
"I don't think I've been so hooked by a new author since the discovery of Mark Edwards or Mark Billingham...if you finish a crime thriller feeling like you just need to have a lie-down and a cup of tea to get your breath back, then the writer has done their job. Angela Marsons, I still don't have my breath back." ( Reading Room with a View)

Kept you interested

A great listen with a strong female lead character. I liked the main criminal premise and I learned about psychopathic behaviour.
The story moved quickly forced you to pay attention.

Experiments of an evil & psychotic psychologist!

This book, Detective Kim Stone Book # 2, is a dark psychological thriller. Evil Games is much better than Book 1 in the series (Silent Scream). The novels in the Kim Stone series are set in Birmingham, England. Stone herself is a lead police detective who still has all of the patience and tact she was born with because she has never used any of either. She has her own issues: a crazy and institutionalized mother who killed Kim's younger brother.

Angela Marsons brain is a dark place.

Narration is excellent!

I recommend this book for people who enjoy dark thrillers.

Dark secrets

A little long and winding but pretty entertaining. Very detailed psychological information that bogs the story down a bit.

Just as good as the first

Excited to have found this author! Just wish there was more to read ): A thrilling, yet believable, storyline with new and intriguing characters alongside the original cast of the first book. Even if you find yourself figuring out the plot early on, almost every page is still a pleasure. Will be patiently awaiting book #3!

Great Listen

The second installment of the Kim Stone series is just as good as the first (which was great) and might even improve on it. I loved learning more about Stone's past and the way it gets unfolded to us is an important part of the plot. This books' villain is truly devious and it is scary when you realize that someone could actually be capable of those horrible acts. I think this is what makes Marsons' books so good; the way the characters, good and bad, feel so real.

Once again the pacing was spot on and the book was a breeze to listen to. If I had one criticism it would be that I wish the books were longer...because I can't get enough of them!

Book 3 comes out on November 6 and I'm excited to dig into another Kim Stone thriller!!

Dark and creepy

The sociopath at the center of this story is very nasty. The writing is very effective. Just be warned.
