Summary
Two murders. Twenty years. Now the killer is back for more…
A darkly compelling debut crime novel. The start of a brilliant series, perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride, Val McDermid, and James Oswald.
DCI Matilda Darke has returned to work after a nine month absence. A shadow of her former self, she is tasked with re-opening a cold case: the terrifyingly brutal murders of Miranda and Stefan Harkness. The only witness was their eleven-year-old son, Jonathan, who was too deeply traumatized to speak a word.
Then a dead body is discovered, and the investigation leads back to Matilda's case. Suddenly the past and present converge, and it seems a killer may have come back for more…

Great story and narration
Most books are just "okay" or slightly better - I found this book very easy to get in to, to keep me interested and isn't too far fetched or silly! I was highly impressed as you never really know what you're going to get when you purchase a new author but I shall be continuing this series for sure! 🙌🙌
Highly recommended if you are a crime fan!

Up there with best
A character based crime thriller, I have read so many I’ve lost count. Holmes, Poirot, Morse, Wexford, Vera - this one sits amongst the best. Excellent, richly drawn believable characters and a cracking mystery.
I will be checking out the rest of this series and others by the author.

Good character let down by story.
Character was interesting and engaging. However this story led you to believe the outcome from the start.

Amazing!
A fantastic and gripping story, I listened to this over 4 days. The narration is good and easy to listen to. I was already familiar with the story having read the book, but it still kept me hooked. I’m off to download the next in the series!

What a start to an amazing series
Took a while to warm to the book and Matilda’s character but loved her by the end. A storyline that keeps you guessing until the very end. Can’t wait to listen to the next book
