Publisher's summary

Seven days until the killer strikes again – but who is next?

DCI Warren Jones is deep into the investigation into an apparent murder-suicide when another case is thrust onto his desk. Winnie Palmer, missing for two months, has been found dead, her body stripped and propped against a tree in the woods.

Two cases are more than enough to handle – but things get even harder for the team when they realise the cases might be linked. And when a third suspicious death is added to the pile, it raises a horrible question. Is there a serial killer on the loose?

With all the murders taking place on Sundays, it’s a race against time to find the killer before they strike again. As the days tick by Warren desperately searches for a link between the victims – but the only thing he knows for sure is that absolutely anyone could be next…

Enjoyable

A good police procedural with a nice twisty plot. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but it won’t be the last.

Like having a detailed police report read to you

…by a very singsong reader. It was a good sleep aid but so many series have better narrators and more interesting characters. Solving a whodunit not enough. It did help a bit to speed it up to 1.1.

Slightly boring

I have read every book in the series, but this will be my last. It was like listening to a police procedural that was taking too much time. If this was a hardback book I would have skimmed much of the material. Perhaps I am tired of the formula, because the hero at risk didn't move me, just felt like here we go again.
