Resumen del Editor

DI Blackwell will do anything to keep her niece safe. And the bomber knows it.

When a local school is the target of a bomb threat, DI Louise Blackwell finds herself embroiled in her most personal case to date. Not only is her niece among the terrified pupils—there’s also a chilling note hidden under the device: Next time you won’t be so lucky, DI Blackwell…

The explosion of a nearby caravan offers a connection…and a suspect. But when he hangs himself after interrogation, leaving another note promising more carnage, Blackwell fears there’s an accomplice.

Could Tim Finch, a former DCI on remand for attempted murder, be pulling strings from prison? He certainly seems set on bringing Blackwell down, if only to derail the case against him. Or could the devious nephew of Max Walton, the serial killer Blackwell shot and killed, be seeking revenge on behalf of his uncle?

As the threats escalate and pressure to solve the case mounts, Blackwell is sucked into a series of horrific events that reach a chaotic and terrifying crescendo on Weston-super-Mare’s Grand Pier. Can she stand firm against a rival hell-bent on destroying her—or will she fall into the killer’s deadly trap?

couldn't put it down

The characters are very endearing. fast paced heart stopping drama that draws you in.

Heart pounding!

This ‘episode’ of Louise Blackwell’s life finds her pitted against a killer who has no qualms about setting off IEDs in public places…including the school of her niece! Of course, there’s also the manipulative, now incarcerated , ex-DCI Finch, who’s out for revenge. Well developed and engaging story. Loved the ending!

Great Book!

DCI Blackwell once again faces off with her nemesis, ex DCI Tim Finch. Accused of multiple crimes including attempted murder on a fellow officer, PCI Tim Finch blames Louise for all his woes. It’s time to face his court date, and he seeks a outside help to distract and discredit DCI Blackwell. Bomb, threats and actual bombings I brought into this action packed thriller. Another great book!

GREAT BOOK

Another book by Matt Brolly. Didn't like how he had Louise on the fence about her relationship with Tim Finch. I wish he would of stayed an inspector. Well I hope there is more for this series.

Enjoyed

Kept my interest and even my daughter enjoyed listening to it as we did out jigsaw puzzle

Like this series

I really enjoy this series, the narration is done well. Cannot wait for the book.

I keep listening but…

I am enjoying the story lines of the books in the series, but Lou’s constant self-blame and insecurity drives me crazy. That said, I am anxiously awaiting the release of the next book.

Captivating

This might be my favorite so far of the DI Louise Blackwell series. Great characters, great plot, and a tiny surprise at the end. Can't wait to start the next book.

Performance Adds A Lot

This was my first try with this series. it was well written. The narrator's performance enhanced the book. Great command of accents, voices, emotions. While I had no trouble following the plot, it just didn't seem very engaging. It seemed to me that the police just stumbled into solutions - when they solved anything. it wasn't a bad book - just not what I like, which are books with real puzzles in them

Ok

Since I have to type in a review, this is going to be it.
