Sleeping Beauties

De: Sam Holland

Narrado por: Holliday Grainger, Billy Howle

One survivor. Two detectives. Twenty-four hours to catch a killer.

Detective Sergeant Theo Wilde is out of second chances. After a five-month suspension that nearly ended his career, he's been given one last assignment: to guard Rachel Raines, the sole survivor and witness to a terrifying serial killer.

Dubbed the ‘sleeping beauty’ by the press, Rachel lies in a coma in hospital, fighting for her life. But as Theo obeys his orders to watch over her, another victim is strangled in broad daylight.

With the body count rising, Theo partners with his former colleague, DC Hannah Colby, and together they begin to identify a pattern in the past – a portrait of a malicious killer, with Rachel lying at the centre of it.

Theo can feel the pressure mounting, but there’s no escape. He must dive headfirst into a deadly game of cat and mouse, where even the thickest of hospital walls can’t keep the killer away.

Perfect for fans of Dept Q and Happy Valley, SLEEPING BEAUTIES is a heart-pounding new detective series narrated by Holliday Grainger (The Capture) and Billy Howle (On Chesil Beach).

Story was a little far-fetched, but an enjoyable read.

Interesting array of characters.
The story held my interest throughout, and I certainly didn't see that ending coming.

Another 5 Star Sam Holland Book!

Sam Holland delivers! This standalone story from her Major Crimes series (which I highly recommend) holds true to her great characters with rich backgrounds, an awesome, detailed storyline with conflicts and many twists, and fast-paced, gruesome (but not gory) action that keeps driving the story forward. The narration was excellent and really brought the characters and story to life. Fingers crossed for a sequel!!

How many times

How many times are you gonna tell this story about kids being bullied in high school and then coming back for revenge? It’s the end tile tale but I guess because I didn’t go through it thank God. I didn’t know kids were really bad crew or is it just these new generation? I don’t know.

Complex and thrilling

The characters were well developed and the plot had lots of twists and action that kept me total engaged. I highly recommend this audiobook.

KEEP YOU GUESSING BOOK.!!!

Great Book. Edge Of Seat Guessing...Would Definitely Recommend Listening Or Reading. The Author Keeps You Guessing Till The End. A Very Good Book.
