Summary

A cold case investigation into the disappearance of 13-year-olds, Christopher Deeks and Ewan Birley, who vanished in the early '90s, opens up old wounds, old lies and a botched investigation into the very heart of the church. DI Alan Williams and the Major Investigation Team find themselves chasing a murderer while trying to contain the backlash of an early release program, designed to help the prisons cope with the COVID-19 outbreak. It's clear the government have released the wrong men. Pure evil walks the streets.

What reviewers are saying:

"Another five-star read. This author grips you and drags you into the story from page one." (Faber Reviews)

"Couldn't put this down. Fast-paced from the beginning. An intricately crafted chiller from the dark side." (The Mystery Machine)

"Completely gripping." (Time Out)

"Jones writes out of the ordinary novels for strong nerves and stomachs." (Guardian Reviews)

Gruesome but well read

The story is rather too gruesome for my taste, but well read by Richard Linford.

loved it!

This was my first Conrad Jones book and a gift. it took me a while to start it because its not my usual genre but I was hooked within five minutes. Beautifully read; I enjoyed all the different voices which helped to sort out who was who. A great story. I will be listening to more by this author. thank you.

Gripping

Loved it. Conrad is one of my favorite authors so I have read a few of his books this being the first on audible, it did not disappoint. Great read, great story. Let's load up the next.

A gripping listen

This is the first audio book I have ever listened to. it was a gift, and I enjoyed listening as I drove a 5-day car journey across Europe. The narrator does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life. There are very many people in the story and so I was very glad that Richard Linford gives a specific, and different, accent to each one. If I had been reading the book, rather than listening, I would have had to leaf back several times to refresh my memory of who is who and who does what.
If I had a critique of the story, it would be just that there are too many people in it to be able to keep everyone separate in one's memory. I did not personally like how gory it all gets at times : there are (very) many murders - I was shocked at the first of these and fought NOT to hear all the details, which made my car swerve alarmingly! The gore almost made me stop listening, but I persevered and in the end enjoyed the story for what it is : a romp, a stomping, a charging through one section of criminal underworld. An eye (and ear) opener indeed.
There are several moments which remain in my memory : a chapter on what it is to lose your Christian faith, a reminder that it is all too easy to step aside from the Way; and a spotlight on a minor character in an Old People's Home, which poses the question of whether we, as a society, have latched onto the best and most honouring way of looking after our seniors as they grow helpless towards their lives' end.
There are also some beautiful moments of description - a wonderful break from the seedy and unhappy world most of the characters inhabit.
So - although the whole criminal framework of "Good, Bad and Pure Evil" is lightyears away from what I have experienced in my own life, I enjoyed this book very much. Richard Linford has worked incredibly hard and thoroughly to make listening a pleasure and deserves recognition for his extraordinary talent at accents and characterisation.
