Publisher's summary

To catch a villain, sometimes you have to become one.

Bailey's back! From the best-selling author of Jailbird.

Detective Constable Bailey Morgan is back doing what she does best - working undercover. This time she has to infiltrate the inner circle of a notorious underworld family. Posing as a fellow villain, she is on a one-woman mission to bring the family to their knees.

But things are never that simple. Bailey finds that she is forced to confront shadowy wraiths from her past and will come face-to-face with a set of devastating revelations that will shatter her world and threaten her very existence.

With only herself to trust, Bailey is on her own and the stakes are higher than ever.

Heart-stopping and gripping. Perfect for the fans of hit TV shows such as Line of Duty and Gangs of London.

Don’t skip on this author!

I listen to 2-3 mysteries/thrillers a week and I’m always correctly anticipating a relatively boring first half for most of them- but this series is completely different. This has the action of 4 books in one. The dialogue is quick and smart and the character development is strong without being tedious. I’m DEEPLY regretting not giving this author a listen sooner so if you’re like me and love smart, strong female characters who don’t need to be saved by a man- this is for you.

Gripping performance

It never ceases to amaze me how an excellent vocal performance can elevate even the most pedestrian manuscript. Even though the writing was just plain bad, at points, and the ultimate showdown with the crime family more implausible than the cheesiest tv movie, the book did contain several alluring elements: a strong (if at times unbelievably dense) central female character facing an evil female opponent, a third protagonist revealed to be a woman, and a male love interest who turns out to be a bad guy — how refreshing is that! was continually enthralled by the reader. A fine vocal performance.

Never a dull moment!

I thought I would give this 5 stars if it stands alone. I love the author and the narrator gets 5 stars as I love her! It’s exciting until the last minute however I had just listened to her previous book and she repeats a lot of phrases. I do enjoy having the same heroine as the author really knows how to spin a tale:)

Another welcome audiction!

I do so enjoy my British psychological thrillers and this is yet another reason why. Thinking this book’s storyline would not be for me, again I was wrong. I devoured this devious adventure with fervor whenever I had free time. Authoress Caro Savage delivers a suspenseful and darkly unique offering. Add to this, multi-talented narrator Genevieve Swallow brings each character to vivid life. Never a dull moment, “Villain” moves at a perfect pace, drawing me in and never letting go. Plenty of action, emotions, danger and trust issues Intertwined with two mystery subplots makes it wicked-good. Following Detective Constable Bailey Morgan, get ready for your jaw to meet the floor throughout. Just when I thought it was near the end I was not ready for, I was thrilled as this captivating thriller continued. An awesome nod to the talented duet of Savage and Swallow, along with Audible for making this available in its Plus catalogue at no cost. I’ve been lucky and have found a choice of hidden gems. Recommended? Indeed! Worth a cherished credit as well. I don’t know what took me so long to get it. I’m ecstatic I finally did. I look forward to more by this well-paired duo. Again, I’m shrieking from my rooftop, Epic, I say! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!

Even better than the first one!

Usually I don’t like series, because they deteriorate in quality. So i was pleased with this one—lots of creativity.
