DI Kate Young can’t trust anybody. Not even herself.

In the bleak countryside around Blithfield Reservoir, a serial murderer and rapist is leaving a trail of bloodshed. His savage calling card: the word ‘MINE’ carved into each of his victims.

DI Kate Young struggles to get the case moving - even when one of the team’s own investigators is found dead in a dumpster. But Kate is battling her own demons. Obsessed with exposing Superintendent John Dickson and convinced there’s a conspiracy running deep in the force, she no longer knows who to trust. Kate’s crusade has already cost her dearly. What will she lose next?

When her stepsister spills a long-buried secret, Kate realises she’s found the missing link - now she must prove it before the killer strikes again. With enemies closing in on all sides, she’s prepared to do whatever it takes to bring them down. But time is running out, and Kate's past has pushed her to the very edge. Can she stop herself from falling?

Great story!

Loved the book, but the narration was difficult to listen to at times. A very sharp, choppy voice used for the main character is the reason I found it hard to listen to. As much as I loved the book, I can only give the narration two stars. I heard a totally different voice in my head while reading the Kindle version alongside the Audible. It was much less abrupt and more sympathetic.

5 Stars

I love the surprises and momentum. This is a great read. My only disappointment is that I forsee that the Dixon-story won't come to an end until many books later if ever. I want to see a wrap-up and soon. The writer can milk this angle for just so much longer and then it has to come to a thrilling end. Enough is enough!!!

The Investigation continues

Picked up this book as the first one ended in a cliffhanger and as expected so does this one. Looking from to seeing certain characters getting the justice they deserve.

Voice performances were rather robotic for the main characters.

Intense Crime Mystery

Another win er in the dark cri.e genre of the mystery section. In tense and fast paced, this mystery held my attention all the way to the end. The audiobook is sooo good!

Could not handle narration

The story may have been great but after getting into the book (about 10 chapters) the narration became unbearable. Extremely monotone. I sped it up then slowed it down but it was too distracting for me to be able to finish the book. It’s a very rare instance when I just cannot bear to finish a book, this was one of those instances.
