Resumen del Editor

The first in an intelligent, multi-layered crime series featuring DI Eva Harris.

A vicious killer on the loose, a traitor on the team - and a past that’s catching up with her.

Can DI Harris see the truth before it’s too late?

An expert killer who takes his victims’ eyes - can DI Harris see clearly enough to uncover the truth?

On the first day of her new job, Harris is called to the scene of a brutal murder at the heart of Surrey society. A shocking crime, with a meticulous killer: the victim’s eyes have been removed and the body drained of blood, with no forensic evidence left at the scene.

Her boss insists it must be the return of a killer who escaped justice several years ago, leaving a trail of bloody ritualistic killings. Harris isn’t so sure: both sets of victims have had their eyes removed, but other details are significantly different.

But Harris’s desperate desire to uncover the truth is complicated by her secret mission to find corruption at the heart of the police. Who can she trust in her own team? Harris is also hiding a secret past of her own - can she find the killer and learn who to depend on, before her dark history catches up with her?

excellent narrator

this is a very well written mystery. it is a mystery layered on a mystery. narrator relates the story superbly

Slow moving

The story was slow moving to me. It could have been the reader. She did not change her voice so you couldn't tell it different people were talking. She was almost deadpan most of the time.

Get ready to concentrate

Very long, lots of twists and turns. Don’t blink or answer the door or you may miss something

I really enjoyed the character Eva

I enjoyed the story and the role of Eva. The fact she was out of her element and comfort zone in her job but by the end she was the "destroyer" and I think proved to herself she could do anything put before her.

Amazingly entertaining

I was hooked from the beginning. It was so detailed without being boring. Great story with tons of action.

Great Story Just A Little Hard to Follow

Great story just a bit hard to follow the different names and characters in the beginning. Possibly just me trying to listen and getting distracted by other things so I’d definitely recommend others to listen and see for themselves since it really is a good storyline.

20/20

The story was pretty good although the narrators reading was a bit rigid. I had a hard time getting absorbed in to it until the middle of the book. At which time I wanted to know what was going on and over looked the narrators price and tone

Predictable story line.

Nice story but far to predictable. Still a ok story line. Good narration with descent attention to individual characters.

Good

Just up my alley and I really enjoyed this book can't wait to listen to the next one.

Phenomenal

The book starts of on fire, setting the tone and pace for the rest of the book. It is beautifully descriptive throughout the whole book. The occasional view from the victims was perfectly woven into the stories and gave the the following scenes a dark twist I enjoyed.
I would consider myself an amateur sleuth (didn’t read all those Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books for nothing) and while I was able to develop some theories the different elements of this story both the backstory and current being woven together laid a web that was extremely compelling and very hard to unravel with any certainty I was following the right thread.
I would love to see this picked up by the BBC, a perfect mix of Luther and Endeavor vibes but with a female lead. I look forward to a sequel, I am not done reading DI Eva Harris yet.
