About this listen
The one case he couldn't crack was the one that finally broke him.
Haunted by his inability to track down and save his missing wife, DCI Robert Kett leaves the Metropolitan Police behind and moves to Norwich with his three young children, hoping to heal their broken family.
But his newfound peace doesn’t last.
Two newspaper delivery girls have gone missing in the city, and the clues point to a serial kidnapper. Kett is dragged into the centre of one of the darkest cases of his career - a case that pits him head-to-head against a horrifying evil. And a case that might uncover the terrible truth of what happened to his wife.
Praise for the book:
"Terrifying and unputdownable, the first crime novel from million-selling author Alex Smith is officially 'a gripping debut'." (J.D. Kirk, author of DCI Logan crime thrillers)
About the author: Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His latest book Paper Girls, the first DCI Robert Kett thriller, has monsters in it, too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it.
In between these two books, he has published 12 other novels for children and teenagers under his full name Alexander Gordon Smith, including the number one best-selling Escape from Furnace series, which is loved by millions of fans worldwide and which is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.

Very good
I enjoyed this, improbable as it was to have a detective with kids in work.. Amusing in parts too.
I liked the characters, Ket, Savage, Clare.
The narrator was very good. Accents, voices all good.
Twists and turns.. Not the most gripping story but it was well thought through and didn't fall down without a good ending.

Great, gripping story and brilliant performances
Really enjoyed this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I loved the narrator. He was so good with all the voices and nailed the little kids’ voices and personalities too. Can’t wait to read another one by this author. I assume there’s a next one based on the ending...off to listen to it now I hope!

Narrator sounded so bored
This could have been a good story but the narration was so slow and deliberate that I found myself drifting instead of listening. Narrators can make or break a novel and for me, this was utterly ruined. Perhaps this author needs to find a Robin Lang or Daniel Weyman for future forays with DCI Kett! Hope that other readers will not be so disappointed.
