About this listen

He's in your home . . . and you don't even know it.

Not everything is as it seems in this sleepy Yorkshire village.

DI Drew Haskell is a no-nonsense detective recovering from a devastating personal loss. When a number of young people are found dead in a sleepy Yorkshire village, Haskell believes a murderer is on the loose. But his boss isn't so sure and won't authorize an investigation. Breaking the rules is Haskell's only chance at solving this case.

Teaming up with criminal profiler Harriet Quinn—the only other person who believes a murderer is at large—Haskell opens up a can of worms that triggers a deadly sequence of events.

Can they stop the killer before he finds another victim?

Mixed feelings

The storyline was good but sadly the narrator didn't do it justice. The male voices were made to sound like "drongs". Robotic, deep and monotone

Odd ending!

I enjoyed the story but was irritated by the odd pronunciation of the narrator. 'see-oo-ee-side' being a particularly grating, and often mentioned, example. It ended so abruptly, as if the author didn't quite know how to finish it so merely stopped writing ...

Good idea..

Idea of the story is good, but it’s poorly written, needs a good editor and the narration is very poor.

Story was good, but

I liked the idea of the story. I thought the ending was a bit rushed. The narration was not the best. Mispronounced words, the men’s voices were all the same and in a weird clipped tone that made them all unlikable. Will see if same narrator before trying book 2

Irritating use of vocabulary and annoying narrator

Honestly, I really struggled to stay in this story. Whoever edited this did a really poor job as the same phrases are repeated over and over and over again. The narrator is also very ‘try hard’ and I can’t help but think they are getting the inflections and tone wrong a lot of the time.

Unrealistic

A real struggle to continue listening, narrator irritatingly over the top. Story line unrealistic yet predictably poor.
