The Shadows in the Street

De: Susan Hill

Narrado por: Steven Pacey

Simon Serrailler has just wrapped up a difficult case for SIFT--Special Incident Flying Taskforce--and is on a sabbatical on a far-flung Scottish island when he is called back to Lafferton. Two local prostitutes have gone missing and are subsequently found strangled. By the time he gets back, another girl has disappeared. Is this a vendetta against prostitutes by someone with a warped mind? Or a series of killings by an angry punter? When the wife of the St. Michael¹s Cathedral Dean goes missing and then another respectable woman is taken on her way to work, the townspeople grow angry and afraid. Serrailler follows lead after lead, all of which become dead ends. It is only through a piece of luck, a chance meeting, and a life put in grave danger that he finally gets a result.

Never disappointing

I always figure it out, but the books are well written and the narrator is outstanding. Smart to keep using the same person, makes it comfortable.
Well worth listening but start with book 1 and get to know everyone.

Getting better and better

I'm working my way through the Serailler stories in order, and they keep getting better. This one had just the right amount of characters so that I could keep track of who is who. The story was great, very engaging.

Dark Thriller

The story moved progressively and steadily, unlike most of the others in the series... A dark harrowing tale about night life for many women, trying to get by in life. A myriad of emotions with this one..
Stephen Pacey is brilliant!

Predictable and Pedestrian

Overall, it is a 3.5 star book. Steven Pacey as usual did a great job and due because of his work i was able to complete the book.

It is a slow pedestrian book. Book does focus mostly on the life of victims and does not discuss much of the methods or the motivations of the killer. So, the books turned into about baby sitting problems when folks going out to work, weather is very cold outside and other dangers of working on the street.

Most of all book was predictable that a reader is not going to be surprised when the killer comes forth.

Great series

I love the characters, the family, the little town, and of course, the way the author weaves mystery and terror into ordinary lives.

Awesome narrator.
