About this listen

Sam Morpeth is left to fend for her younger sister when their mother goes to prison. But when a stranger begins to blackmail her online, she's drawn her into a trap she may not escape alive.

Reporter Jack Parlabane is indebted to a volatile source, and now that debt is being called in, it could cost him everything. Thrown together by a common enemy, Sam and Jack are about to discover they have more in common than they realise - and might be each other's only hope.

Want You Gone is the superb new psychological thriller in the best-selling Jack Parlabane series. Award-winning best seller Chris Brookmyre is at his best yet with this nail-biting story.

Critic reviews

Praise for the Jack Parlabane series:
"Exceptionally good - a knotty mystery...Brookmyre plays a cunning, careful game." ( The Guardian)
"Reminiscent of the best of Nordic Noir but with its own vivid landscape." (Renee Knight, author of Disclaimer)
All stars

Other than that, it's one of Brookmyre's better offerings since the switch from the hilarity of his early books.

Minus one star for the annoying child

This book is extremely well written as always with lots of twists and some laugh out loud moments. I think it’s the best book in the series so far. I would definitely highly recommend!

Brilliant; best book yet

Jack Parlabane is my hero! Another fabulously crafted story of his exploits into the world of industrial espionage and hacking and a plot with lots of twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. Loved the dual story telling from the two key characters giving different perspectives as they work together to try and foil the plot. Cracking ending that left me wanting more Jack please!

Just brilliant!

I absolutely loved this story, the characters and narrators. One of my favourite Parlabane books so far.

Loved it

Brookmyer stands for excellent crime novels with liberal helpings of cynicism. This plot had me riveted; I was hanging on every word and did not want to stop listening. Less cynicism, but still brilliant wit, having me grinning out loud repeatedly. Narrator King is superb as ever, all of the narration was perfect. Don't miss this one.

Spellbinding

Great story, Jack is back on form. I listened to another Brookmyre a while back and had to return it as it was so poor,so this was a welcome return.

I was rather anxious due to the content of the book about my online security. However it’s taught me to think before I click.

Angus King was a fabulous narrator and is Jack in my head but I was not impressed with Avita Jay. Her London black accent was comical and her Scottish was poor. Samantha’s voice was so downtrodden, it was hard to believe that she was a strong individual underneath it all.
