Critic reviews

"An absolute master." (Stephen King)

"He writes in a voice with a haunting sense of soul." (Peter James)

Not as good as I expected

The main character was terribly irritating. Supposedly intelligent but hell-bent on making daft decisions. Not my favourite.

Enjoyable although not suspenseful

I enjoyed the story which is mainly about obsession and stalking but it is definatly not a thriller nor suspenseful. I wasn't very invested in the characters but story was interesting enough to listen to the end

Another Fabulous Crime Thriller by Michael Robotham

Michael Robotham is my favorite novelist and he sure doesn’t disappoint with his latest effort. Unexpected, fresh twists make this unputdownable. And Katy Sobey is an excellent narrator who does especially well with Tempe’s Irish accent. Definitely listen to this one if you’re looking for a phenomenal thriller with rich characters and several intriguing story lines.

Most Of The Book Is Great

Okay. Let me describe my feelings towards this book, as it unfolded.

It starts with a bang. I'm thinking that this will be a blast, and I stumble on-wards.

Then it gets a bit "chatty" and instead of chasing criminals we're planning a wedding.

Now I'm not so sure, but it's a light read an in spite of my doubts it's hard to put down.

And when we get to the last part the speed picks up, it's fun, it's exciting, an now it has kept me up too late.

Yeah..I saw the twists and turns coming, but that just strokes my ego.

Whatever. I enjoyed this. It's not a great book, but it’s a great listen!

Katy Sobey was excellent with the delivery of the story

Terrific twists and turns in the best Michael Robotham style!

Get into this terrific crime writer… as usual with Michael Robotham this one is full of plot twists and insights into psychology & just the human condition… I couldn’t stop listening!

Gripping

Gripping story although the protagonist is surprisingly naive for a police woman which is a little unbelievable.

great stand psychological thriller

You cannot cast any shade on Michael Robotham’s ability to spin a tale! He’s an absolute expert at reeling you in and keeping there… though there are a few holes in this one compared to his others & I have been glued to them all… it’s still absolutely worth the listen…
