About this listen

Soon to be an ITV drama starring Aidan Turner.

Joseph O'Loughlin appears to have the perfect life—a beautiful wife, a loving daughter and a successful career as a clinical psychologist. But nothing can be taken for granted. Even the most flawless existence is only a loose thread away from unravelling. All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient and the biggest lie of his life. Caught in a complex web of deceit and haunted by images of the slain girl, he embarks upon a search that will take him from London to Liverpool and into the darkest recesses of the human mind....

Excellent plot

First foray into Robotham’s work was well worth it. Convoluted, intricate plot but easy to follow and very credible. Some procedural matters had mistakes ( time in detention can be extended by senior officer; caution is NOT and never has been ‘used in evidence against you’ but overall great and I’m straight into another!

Excellent.

I had watched the series and this book, that it was taken from, was excellent. It showed that the series was a true representation of the book. Robert Glennister did a fantastic narration as usual.
