Publisher's summary

The victim is lying under the trees, arms lifted above his head, unnaturally still. His muscles are slack. His eyes are empty. There are no signs of life. But he is not quite dead....

When Detective Kim Stone races to the crime scene, there is no body waiting for her: The paramedics are desperately trying to save the victim’s life. But there is something very strange about the way the man was found, his arms raised above his head, his legs spread apart. When he dies on the way to the hospital, Kim is certain she’s on the hunt for a killer…but all evidence at the scene has been destroyed.

The dead man, Eric Gould, seems ordinary, until the team dig into his past. As a teenager, he was locked away for attacking his girlfriend, and Kim suspects he was hurting his fiancé now. Was someone trying to stop history repeating?

Then another man is found on the verge of death, his bones broken to force him into an unnatural shape. The team realise the killer is sending a message—the victims’ bodies are spelling out their sins. As boys, they were both part of a group of six who bragged about their terrible crimes. But they were children then, and when she sees the grief on the faces of their loved ones now, Kim swears to find answers.

Is someone finally getting revenge…or do they think these men are still dangerous? The killer is threatening to strike again, and the only way Kim can crack the case is by tracking down the rest of the six first.

But then a revelation about what one of her team is suffering makes Kim understand why people take the law into their own hands. Do these victims deserve what’s coming to them? Or is there even more to fear from their brutal killer?

Bad Blood is a brilliantly gripping crime thriller with a reveal you’ll never see coming. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Robert Dugoni, and Val McDermid will love the latest compulsive listen from multi-million-copy best seller Angela Marsons.

Can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Another enjoyable book in this series!

It just ended too quickly, as I, of course, listened to this installment in one day. Can't wait for the next one. Same excellent narrator!

Another Great One!

Another great read from Angela Marsons. I always think I have it figured out to only find out I was wrong.
I love the dynamic Kim Stone has with her team and cannot wait to read the next book when available.

brilliant

of all the detective characters I follow, kim and the team are my favourites, Kims direct approach and sarcastic retorts have me chuckling my way through the book.
sadly the end arrives far too quickly. Angela, as others have asked, can you write these quicker please......

Do love this series

I love following these character’s lives. Does that make me a stalker?
Great plot, well paced action, thoughtful interpretation of character actions.
Worth a listen.
