Resumen del Editor

She couldn't believe that he wanted to meet her. He was famous. She was a nobody. Finally, someone could see how special she was....

When the body of a teenage girl is found in a London hotel, DI Patrick Lennon is mystified. Nobody saw her or her killer enter the hotel, and there is no apparent motive - until a second teenager is found and Lennon realises somebody is targeting fans of the world's biggest boy band.

As Lennon struggles with both his home life and his rivals on the force, the pressure to catch the killer before he strikes again reaches fever pitch. And when Lennon makes a terrible mistake that ends in disaster, he finds himself in a race to save not only the lives of more teenage girls but also his own career.

Exploring the darkest depths of the entertainment industry and the terrifying dangers of social media, The Blissfully Dead is a new masterclass in tension from the #1 bestselling authors of From the Cradle.

Good story.

Good story. Getting into some interesting areas of society. Too much sex though.
Good narrator.

Thank you Mark, Louise and Simon!

nice read, compelling. fantastic voice performance really polished a 5 karat story into 10! thanks

My second listen as thrilling as my first!

Would I listen to “The Blissfully Dead” again? Why, yes, I did and it was as suspenseful as the first time several years ago.
What did I like best about this story? The extremely complex between the detective and his wife, as well as the murder storyline. These kept my interest. This book held my interest and kept me wanting more.
Have I listened to any of Simon Mattacks’ other performances before and how does this one compare? Yes and, as always, perfection!
Did I have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make me laugh or cry? Both, there is quite a bit of humor, along with serious police procedure and detective mystery thar the narrator excellently provides us with.
Considering that I listened two times, I am HIGHLY RECOMMENDING this one. Kept my attention, never a dull moment, surprises throughout. Worth a treasured credit!

Excellent, Timely Thriller!

Well written with interesting characters. I am happy to find this series. There is an authors note at the end that made me appreciate the novel even more. Recommended to fans of Val McDermid.

Really enjoyed this book!

This book is not a book written for young adults. That's what I thought, when I read the synopsis. I bought it when I read it was not a teen book, which someone was kind enough to put in their review. It's the first book I've been hooked by in a long time. I enjoyed the mystery and would read another book by these authors. I live in Texas, but love books set in England. It always amazes me when the police don't carry a gun into a sticky situation. Very different culture, and I love a British mystery.

Not a Critic

I cannot put these books down.
l am not a critic or a writer as a person can tell. I do know what I like and as quickly as l finish one I am listening to the next. I was amazed how these two authors put together great thrillers/mysteries. Try to start on a weekend! It's truly an all nighter!

Love The Cure references!

If you are a past/present fan of The Cure, you’ll smile at all the references in this story. The lead detective is a huge fan, and the title of this story is taken by one of the band’s songs. While this wasn’t my favorite storyline from Mark Edwards, it did keep me guessing until the end. The narrator was outstanding!

Narrator was wonderful

The book was predictable but we'll written. I read the last book they wrote together and really enjoyed the detective character. Happy to see him reappear. I could listen to the narrator forever.

thoroughly enjoy these police procedurals

Perfect author combo as u get clever mysteries with engaging stories, and I dare u to guess "who done it".

Really good!

What made the experience of listening to The Blissfully Dead the most enjoyable?

Great narrator and great plot.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Blissfully Dead?

I like the backstory of the main detective as much as the crime solving.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was the type of audio book that you can't put down.

Any additional comments?

I cannot wait until the new audio books by these authors are available on Audible!
