Another Brilliant Tour de Force by My Favorite Psychological Thriller Writer

Another phenomenal installment in Michael Robotham’s Cyrus Haven/ Evie Cormac series. So glad to be back with these two—and for what a mystery. I can’t recommend this one highly enough. My only sadness is that I finished it so quickly—and now it will be a long wait until the next one. Brilliant narration by Joe Jameson (as usual), too.

Loved this series

Great characters, crime writing at its best. Would love this being turned into a TV series.

Fantastic Series

Great audio book, keeps you guessing. I love the characters. They’re interesting, deep and passionate.
