Publisher's summary

Nobody's listening. So, he'll just keep killing.

The terror begins in a suburban café with seven people brutally murdered by an axe-wielding maniac. The killer is left dead at the scene and that should have been the end of a rare tragedy.

But within days, in the very same city, more mass killings occur.

Ten eldercare facility residents die in an arson-lit blaze. Then a mother attending a family gathering embarks on a terrifying gun rampage. All the killers are now dead, leaving behind unanswerable questions.

Investigating detective O'Grady can find only one bizarre connection, but it makes no sense. After extensive checking, he realizes none of the killers has a murderer's profile and nothing even close to a motive. Ordinary citizens with no history of violence have suddenly transformed into ruthless monsters.

Kendall Jennings, a freelance article writer of all things banal, somehow stumbles into an interview with a survivor of the first slaughter. This is her big break, but more a way to pay those endless mounting bills. Big problem though: she’s well out of her depth.

When Kendall crosses O'Grady's path sparks fly, but not the romantic kind. He can’t work out why this journalist infuriates him so much. She figures he either has some serious personal demons or he’s just plain arrogant and rude.

The two will need to put aside their issues though because they’ll soon discover these killings are more than random events. They’re part of a plan far greater than anyone can imagine. Someone is sending a deadly message, and if nobody can decipher the meaning soon many more will die.

Narrated by Anne Johnston Brown, winner of the 2012 Audible Female Voice Award.

Fantastic, very believable!

In today's society this story is very relatable. I think with the violence these days it really hits home and it made me feel like something like this is possible. I was sucked in from beginning to end. Couldn't put it down.

Susan May!! WOW!!

I'm so glad i started listening to
your stories!!
Another good read from you!! This story is something that i can see happening. It's so scary in its own right.

The way your mind works just blows me away!

The narrator had a nice soothing voice. Only problem i had was at the beginning i noticed she would take a breath quite often. It kinda irritated me at the beginning, but i really got into the story and didn't notice after that.

Thank you for another fantastic story!! 😀😀😀

A very intriguing story line. Well written and engaging. Some good research done on the medical subject matter made for a scary story.

A Unique Thriller!

I have been reading horror and thriller novels since I was about 12 years old, so I like to think I know a good thriller when I read one...and I loved this one. The thing I love about Susan May is how she always has a unique twist in her stories. Deadly Messengers has her classic uniqueness, and is also very relevant to society today. Without giving too much away, I will say that this story revolves around mental health and the consumption of antidepressants and anxiety medicine. It is not judgmental in the least, it's just a really interesting take on how we manage (or do not manage) what life throws at us every day. The twist is satisfying. I am looking forward to reading more of May's books!
