About this listen

In this brilliant debut, a psychologist finds herself drawn into the dark world of a serial killer - who may be closer than she thinks. Mulholland Books presents...Crossbones Yard.

Ray and Marie Benson killed 13 women before they were caught, tried and imprisoned. Five of their victims were never found.

Six years later psychologist Alice Quentin discovers a woman's body on the waste ground at Crossbones Yard. The wounds are horrifyingly similar to the Bensons' signature style. But who would want to copy their crimes?

When Alice is called in to consult, her first instinct is to say no. She wants to focus on treating her patients, not analysing the mind of a murderer.

But the body at Crossbones Yard is just the start, and the killer may already be closer than Alice knows.

I will listen to the second and see where it goes. Good characters but rather a predictable plot.

Great story but I just didn’t get the narrator? The part was a 32 year old woman and the narrator sounded at least 50 years old...confusing!

Great book

It took me awhile to get into this… once I did I was ok invested… but now reflecting after finishing, I didn’t really enjoy it

Ok

Would you consider the audio edition of Crossbones Yard to be better than the print version?

I rarely buy print books as my eyes aren't too brill so I wouldn't know.

Who was your favorite character and why?

If I told you that it would give away the ending.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

All of it. This is the best book I have listened to for quite a few months. Couldn't put it down - listened to it it all in one go. Gripping.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

London based Thriller with a sting in the tail.

Any additional comments?

I was beginning to get despondent as I had not found any new authors for quite a while - until this came along. Even then I wasn't sure about buying it because of the title, but it had good reviews so I gave it a go. I am so glad I did

Brilliant

Absolutely loved it! I didn't guess the "who did it". Thoroughly enjoyed the story and the speaker.

Great

It was a good story which kept me engaged. It wasn’t outstanding and I much prefer other stories by the same author. There was quite a twist, which I won’t reveal but it was a stretch too far for me.

Note to self

This is A Very good and exciting read but not in the David baldacci class.

I begun by listening to book 5 in the series, Blood Symmetry and was so taken with the character of Alice Quentin that, upon finishing, I immediately purchased book 1. I was not disappointed as Crossbones Yard is a taut and well crafted book with detailed characters the reader/listener can really get to know and understand. In a million years I would never have guessed who the villain was, but once revealed, it really couldn't have been anyone else. Charlotte Strevens does an excellent job of bringing Ms Rhodes' characters and story to life and I'm excited to listen to the other books in the series.

An absorbing listen
