About this listen

A standalone thriller from the author of the DCI Matilda Darke crime series. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride, Mark Billingham and Val McDermid.

A killer has done his time but has justice really been served?

On her 13th birthday, Stephanie White was abducted from the streets of Newcastle and brutally murdered. Her death shook the neighbourhood and devastated the lives of everyone around her. Twenty years later, the killer is due to be released from prison and one woman can no longer keep the secret she vowed never to tell. The secret that the father of her child is a convicted murderer.

Dawn Shepherd always longed to have a father but when her mother finally reveals his identity after 20 years, Dawn realises you should be careful what you wish for. Her father has always maintained his innocence but how much can Dawn trust a man she has never met who has been convicted of murder? Disgusted and intrigued in equal measure, Dawn goes on a mission to uncover what happened to Stephanie and work out if a killer’s blood runs through her veins. Clues are resurfaced, witnesses reinterviewed and wounds reopened in the search for truth and justice. After delving deep into the past, Dawn soon discovers that all is not as it seems.

Join us on a journey into the heart of family loyalty, on a path to discover whether blood really is thicker than water.

Great Story

This engaged me all the way through, good twist at end, although I preferred the first narrator, Jill Halfpenny to the second, still good tho.

Most enjoyable for the most part

I was thinking that women on Newcastle are big on perfume. That was a bit distracting.
Anyhooo, I was kept entertained throughout, and that’s what I want from an Audible experience.
The story was quite twisty, a bit of a stretch of credibility, but that too was okay given the fact that I didn’t want to stop listening.
I liked the female narrator very much.

Great, if unbelievable, twist!

Another enjoyable book by Michael Wood. I found it a little repetitive in parts, but overall very good. Twist at the end was great!
