Eeny Meeny

By: M. J. Arlidge

Narrated by: Annie Aldington, Elizabeth Bower, Lucy Gaskell, Nigel Pilkington

The international bestseller that “grabs the reader by the throat" (Crime Time).
First in the new series featuring Detective Inspector Helen Grace.

Two people are abducted, imprisoned, and left with a gun. As hunger and thirst set in, only one walks away alive.

It’s a game more twisted than any Detective Inspector Helen Grace has ever seen. If she hadn’t spoken with the shattered survivors herself, she almost wouldn’t believe them.

Helen is familiar with the dark sides of human nature, including her own, but this case—with its seemingly random victims—has her baffled. But as more people go missing, nothing will be more terrifying than when it all starts making sense....

Very suspenseful!

I couldn't put this book down. There was do much happening and the end had a major twist!

Not Super Impressed

I wasn't in love with this book. The back made it seem like everything was going to be so twisted and it was but not really. I felt disconnected from the characters and didn't see much growth throughout the story. I MIGHT read the next one.

Great read!!

First i'de like to comment on the narrator, OUTSTANDING!!!!
The story was great, easy to follow.
Intense from beginning to the end. ..

I love this series!

I had read books 3 and 4 and went back to one. I just love this series! Recommended

I never believed it

I didn't hate it, but from start to finish I just kept thinking how convoluted the whole story was. -Too many hoops to go through makes too many loop holes!
It did hold my interest, and I liked the interwoven point of view of the serial killer, but I really would have liked it to be dialed down a little.
