False Witness

DCI Liam Brodie, Book 2

De: John Carson

Narrado por: Angus King

The next thrilling instalment in John Carson's utterly gripping DCI Liam Brodie series. Perfect for fans of J D Kirk and Ed James.

Some killers are caught.

Others simply go into hiding…

DCI Liam Brodie is no stranger to horror. Seven years ago, he led the hunt for a murderer who killed seven women, leaving their bodies out on display like some kind of morbid exhibition. Never any witnesses; never any clue as to who he was. The press called him The Embalmer. Brodie called him a monster.

Now, seven years later, the killings have started again. Same method. Same pattern. Same nightmare.

Brodie is called back to Fife to lead the investigation. But this time, the killer isn't just repeating the past—he's rewriting it. And Brodie isn't just hunting a serial killer… He's being hunted.

Figured it out too soon

About two and a half hours in, I figured out the “Embalmer”, which kind of ruined the novel for me. However, I didn’t know his motivation, so that kept me interested. The “Embalmer” had one interaction with Brodie, which confirmed it. Rather disappointing. Ah well. Angus King remains brilliant!

Riveting

Whow what a story, kept me listening all day, and I’ll never take a drink unless the owner has one first. Again Angus had you in tender hooks at times, fantastic narrator
