Wicked Women

Detective Kim Stone, Book 23

De: Angela Marsons

Narrado por: Jan Cramer

The woman is lying on her back, eyes closed, face still. The blood from the single stab wound in her chest has pooled on the ground, interrupted only where her killer stood to watch her die…

Detective Kim Stone knows from the moment she looks down on Ashley Reynolds that this is no ordinary crime. No one has a bad word to say about this loving wife and mother. So why did someone murder her, and wait to make sure she was dead?

Ashley was a social worker, and some claimed she tore families apart. But her husband is also acting strangely, planning to take their daughter and leave town. Did the threat to her come from home or work?

Then another woman is killed in the same cold, calm way. Nadine was a honey trapper, and the men she tricked blamed her for destroying their marriages. Someone clearly believes Ashley and Nadine were wicked… and that wicked women deserve to die.

But when a third woman is murdered, Kim and the team can’t find anything that even the sickest mind would find fault with. Certain that time is running out, they search desperately for something that links their victims.

And then Kim realises something that chills her to the bone. Because if she’s right, the worst danger is yet to come…

A brilliantly gripping crime thriller about secrets and revenge that will have you gasping at the final reveal. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid and Robert Dugoni will love Wicked Women.

Can be listened to as a standalone.

Gets better and better

I was hooked from the beginning and it only got better until the satisfying end. Kim and her team ar their best!

Always Fantastic

I have nothing negative to say about this book or any of them in this series. I love Kim. I love her team. I love the unexpected twists and turns that come with every book.

Different but really good

I wasn’t sure where the story was going for the longest time lots of red herrings, but it was pretty heartwarming overall. A little different from the typical detective story I like it though it is a standalone you don’t really have to have read the previous books although you will appreciate it if you’ve been a fan.

Always wonderful, suspense-filled stories

I love this series. The writing is excellent and the characters are wonderful. I look forward to each new book/audiobook and have listened to the whole series twice. The woman reading the series is perfect - not just for this series but for others, too. Thank you, Angela Marsons.

Fantastic!

Like all of the Kim Stone books this one was brilliant. Many different issues confront Kim and her team. Exciting and impossible to put down. As usual, the narration was top notch.
