Summary

The second book in the DI Eva Harris series, this is a gripping, multi-layered thriller that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats.

In an abandoned warehouse, a schoolboy makes a grisly discovery: 96 containers, each filled with exquisitely preserved bodily remains.

Detective Eva Harris knows the line between life and death better than most. Having survived a near fatal encounter with the criminal underworld once before, she is still haunted by the repercussions of her actions - and fearful of the whole truth emerging.

Faced with the crime scene, she is forced to contemplate a difficult question: is this the work of a lone psychopath - or is there a more complicated truth hidden in this killer’s art?

Her search for the killer takes her across Europe, from the upper echelons of society’s glittering elite to the dark and tangled web of the underworld - and finally, to the very limits of humanity.

A good sequel

A good story, and probably better having listened to the first in the series. Graphic words which are not suitable for the young. In 2 words, entertaining & gripping

Excellent series

I was surprised to read a few of the other reviews. I’ve found this series excellent so far - great story line with plenty of action, compelling lead character in Eva, and great story line.

Good listen but be prepared for a few long winding descriptions 🤦🏽‍♀️

I like this story more than I thought I would. There’s a lot of action and a decent storyline with likeable characters. Some of the descriptions are really long, and you almost forget what started the long, winding descriptions. There is a bit of gore and the long drawn out descriptions don’t help you adjust to the shock value or at times lends to the flow of the story. Still over all a good listen 👍🏽

Better than the first one …

Better than the first one which I just couldn’t finish ( and this was after 6 hours of listening)
I decided to give this one a go, as it was a free book.
Narration seems better than the first , which was one of the reasons I couldn’t finish the first.
Good story which I could follow. 👍👍👍

OK but better books out there!

OK storyline, if somewhat far fetched, medical references incorrect, more research needed! Have to say the narrator let's it down though, no personality breathed into the characters.

Overall good

I enjoyed this one more than 20/20 although I'm not very interested in the continued plot I did enjoy the main plot of this case. Especially some more of the outlandish parts!

The narrator is fine, I think she suits the main character and I love her voice for Judy.

My main issue is with some of the writing. The author has a need to explain everything, even down to some really obvious things which seem entirely unnecessary. I found some of the explanations come across as condescending like the author believes all his readers are never going to be as clever as they are.

I would read another in the series but only for free, these are not something I would make an effort to look for or to pay for

Excellent

A brutal but excellent story. Thoroughly absorbing and well narrated. I’ve enjoyed both the Eva Harris books and look forward to the next one

Brilliant

I have never read a book by Carl Goodman before, but what a brilliant story ... I couldn't stop listening. I would recommend this book and will definitely be looking to read more of his books.
