About this listen
She couldn't believe that he wanted to meet her. He was famous. She was a nobody. Finally, someone could see how special she was....
When the body of a teenage girl is found in a London hotel, DI Patrick Lennon is mystified. Nobody saw her or her killer enter the hotel, and there is no apparent motive - until a second teenager is found and Lennon realises somebody is targeting fans of the world's biggest boy band.
As Lennon struggles with both his home life and his rivals on the force, the pressure to catch the killer before he strikes again reaches fever pitch. And when Lennon makes a terrible mistake that ends in disaster, he finds himself in a race to save not only the lives of more teenage girls but also his own career.
Exploring the darkest depths of the entertainment industry and the terrifying dangers of social media, The Blissfully Dead is a new masterclass in tension from the #1 bestselling authors of From the Cradle.

Not great but not bad
The best bit of this book was the narration, Simon Mattacks did a great job narrating what is not a badly written story but is just not up there with the best writers of this genre, there were times when the storyline unfolded with cringeworthy contrivance. I know one has to suspend belief most times with detective thrillers but this one had me snorting with disbelief on several occasions as the writers revealed yet another ridiculous scene outcome.
Not the best of its type but probably not the worst, improved immensely by the inspired reading and characterisation of Simon Mattacks.

Very enjoyable, well worth a listen
The Blissfully Dead was a thoroughly enjoyable listen, with likeable, credible characters. It has a consistently engaging plot with a good few twists and turns thrown in, leaving me with no idea of the culprit until the reveal.
It was very slightly marred by a couple of 'continuity' errors, and a few credibility stretches, but they weren't enough to detract from the story.
Simon Mattocks did an excellent job of narration, bringing the story to life. I'd recommend a listen. I'm off to see if Edwards and Voss have any more titles on Audible.

Hooked from start!
I was so keen to keep hearing this story that every moment that wasn't filled was taken up with listening to my audiobook. I really enjoyed the narrator, the pace of the book and the storyline was really clever. Recommended...

Excellent!
Any additional comments?
This is a really well written and unusual story. The characters are very well drawn. I love DCI Patrick Lennon, a very human, flawed and likeable character. This is the second in a series of books featuring Lennon. The authors say there will be more. I do wish the other 4 books by Edwards and Voss would be produced in audio format.
