More than just a crime novel...

Would you consider the audio edition of Shadows in the Street to be better than the print version?

I don't know. I love Steven Pacey's narration and it definitely adds to the enjoyment.

What other book might you compare Shadows in the Street to, and why?

Michael Robotham - "Watching you". It's as insightful and riveting with no easy answers.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Where Simon accepts his new stepmother .

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Who is killing the ladies of the night in a small English town?

Any additional comments?

Just a wonderful read and I would recommend reading this Simon Serrailler series in order although it is not essential. Love the way the story develops with all the human elements and dramas happening while Simon and his force are trying to find a serial killer.

I so enjoyed listening to this book

I loved this book. So well written and Steven Pacey's narration is superb. He captures the characters brilliantly in the voices he gives them. I'm looking forward to listening to another in the series.

Riveting Read!

You won't be disappointed with this book. I'm quite hard to please and usually plump for Simon Kernick, Mark Billingham and Peter James' type books but this one was great and the storyline is well worth 5 stars.

It kept me guessing right up to the end of the book and the resulting discovery was a total shock and made more so by the revelation of who the murderer was!!!!


You won't be disappointed I'm sure!

Great Story As Always!

Good plot, with familiar characters. Would benefit from a different narrator as the tone is rather dour.

bit of deja vue

brilliantly narrated as always by Steven Pacey. writing is crisp, well observed and as competent as always. Trouble with this story is the denouement is identical to one of her previous books - police have no idea who the killer is till he walks into the kitchen of an associate and tries to kill them. Unlikely to the point of laughable but that being said it is a good read. Susan Hill has the excellent technique of making you care and share with the victom's murder and at times I find this quite disturbing.

Susan Hill writes books that are compulsive listening.

Excellent series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Susan Hill is a superb author who slowly builds up her characters and dangles possible victims and perpetrators in front of the reader throughout the story. I started with 'The Risk of Darkness' (Simon Serailler 3) and then rushed to download 'The Vows of Silence' and now onto this audiobook. Each book develops themes and characters seamlessly

What other book might you compare Shadows in the Street to, and why?

I would compare this audiobook to any classic British crime thriller

Which character – as performed by Steven Pacey – was your favourite?

Simon Serailler is my favourite character, closely followed by Cat his sister

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There is the death of a main character which I must say brought tears to my eyes

Any additional comments?

Susan Hill is brilliant at giving the reader information that is not yet available to the characters really putting you in the driving seat. Finally Steven Pacey is a very good reader giving each character a unique voice.
