Summary

The second edge-of-your-seat thriller from M. J. Ford.

When a young woman goes missing from Jesus College, Oxford, DS Josie Masters is plunged into a world of panic as fear grips the city. Along with Thames Valley Police’s newest recruit, the handsome DS Pryce, Josie must act fast - and when two more students disappear from Oriel and Somerville colleges, she realises the killer is sending her a deadly message in a cruel game of cat and mouse. This time, the case is personal - but who is the perpetrator?

In a desperate race against the clock, Josie hunts for the kidnapper and soon discovers he could be a lot closer to home than she’d ever thought....

M. J. Ford is back with a gripping new thriller, perfect for fans of Cara Hunter and T. M. Logan.

Brilliant

Really enjoyed this book, the author is really good at making you think you know the conclusion and then continually changing your mind. Great characters, brilliant storyline. Also excellent narrator.

More Please!

I very much enjoyed the first two books in this detective series - a lovely find given that I’m an Audible addict and have almost exhausted books available in this genre. I hope there will be many more to follow!
Great narration by Joan Walker.

Another great book in the series!

This is the second book I've read by this author. and I'm eagerly awaiting another one. I also have to take my hat off to the narrator, very well read.

Josie Bond

I feel mean, as is very easy to get caught up in this story, but the more of these books I listen to (like I said, perfectly good listening) the more far, far fetched the twists seem, if not perfectly obvious. The lead character is like one a man might write for a male lead, quite egocentric and always ending up in some 007 style liason.

Effort has clearly gone in on the plot etc, highly commendable author, maybe I personally just watch too much true crime shiz for it not to seem off target🤷‍♀️
