Summary
When he was the NYPD’s top homicide investigator, Dave Gurney was never comfortable with the label the press gave him: super detective. He was simply a man who, when faced with a puzzle, wanted to know.
He was called to the investigative hunt by the presumptuous arrogance of murderers - by their smug belief that they could kill without leaving a trace. There was always a trace, Gurney believed. Except what if one day there wasn't?
With Shut Your Eyes Tight, John Verdon delivers on the promise of his internationally best-selling debut, Think of a Number, creating a portrait of evil let loose across generations that is as rife with moments of touching humanity as it is with spellbinding images of perversity.

Gripping
John Verdon is a new author for me. I think the book was a daily deal which is why I bought it but I will buy more of his - a real audio page-turner. Jeff Harding, as always, is excellent

Loved it
Equally as good as his first book! I loved everything about it, the characters, the story, the subtle humour and the narrator.
Being an avid audible listener I know how important narration is and after listening to this I’d spend a credit on anything read by Harding!
I’m a huge detective/crime fiction fan and this is up there with the best. Can’t wait to start book 3

Guessed whodunnit almost immediately
but not a bad story. Jeff Harding makes Gurney likeable enough to keep listening. Not as gripping as Book 1

Excellent hard-nosed thriller.
Another brilliant thriller by John Verdon with a fantastic voice actor in Jeff Harding. It's great to listen to a modern day gumshoe style detective so reminiscent of the wonderful world of Chandler and Hammett. I'll be looking for more books from Verdon. Hopefully, read by Harding. I will admit that l was fairly sure early on - only a hunch - that l knew the "bad guy" and aspects of the "howdunnit" but that didn't in the least detract from the story, it's pace and the brilliantly narrated denouement.

great story
Listened to it over 3 days whilst doing diy, really kept my interest and it was well read. The reader made the characters not only believable but good to hear!
