The Death Knock

A gripping, must-read thriller from the author of THE WOLF DEN

De: Elodie Harper

Narrado por: Heather Long, Rose Akroyd

The gripping follow up to THE BINDING SONG, from the winner of the Stephen King and Guardian short story competition.

Is there a serial killer in East Anglia? The police deny it. Journalist Frankie suspects they're wrong. Student Ava knows they're wrong... because she's just been abducted by him.

This is a gripping novel in which suspense meets investigation - as Ava struggles to stay alive, and Frankie finds herself far closer to the case than she'd anticipated...

Elodie Harper is a news journalist herself and THE DEATH KNOCK is an authentic, terrifying story of dark deeds and the hunt for the truth.

Reseñas de la Crítica

The author's journalistic experience adds authenticity to a gruesome chiller with a killer so creepy you'll be double-locking your door.

I tore through this book, my heart hammering with Ava's and my head pounding with Frankie's. Fast-paced, unpredictable, and disturbingly real, THE DEATH KNOCK reminds us at every turn what is so frightening about that which is so immediate. Do not flip the page without keeping one eye on the last! (Rebecca F. John)

Chilling, intelligent, and highly addictive. Superb. (Will Dean, author of Dark Pines)

Elodie Harper employs her journalistic background to great effect by breathing life into her gritty news reporter protagonist as she pursues a terrifying serial killer in East Anglia. Frankie's investigations lead her into increasing levels of danger including the menacing attentions of a rabidly misogynistic blogger, a warped advocate of the so-called men's rights movement. A highly-charged and topical thriller. (Vaseem Khan)

Riveting and scarily believable, THE DEATH KNOCK left me gasping for air. (Laura Purcell, author of The Silent Companions)

Haunting and wonderfully written.

Gripping and suspenseful. (Neil Spring, author of The Ghost Hunters)

Gripping, chilling and physically impossible to put down. She scares me. But I loved every second of it. (Ross Armstrong, author of The Watcher)

From the first page, you have a sense of the harsh realities a journalist must face, but more than that Elodie Harper takes you into the mind of not only the victim, but the killer too, with convincing chilling clarity. (Amanda Reynolds, author of Close To Me)

This book is so scarily realistic with a chilling plot and vivid, likeable protagonists. Very clever! This should be on TV. Warning though - it will keep you awake at night! I couldn't put it down. (Claire Douglas, author of Last Seen Alive)

The danger feels real in this young-women-in-peril gripper. (Karen Robinson, Sunday Times Crime Club)

Well plotted and well written.
