Summary

A missing child. A dead lawyer. Long-awaited answers.

While helping to police a heated discussion on City of London territory, DI Simon Fenchurch is called out to an East London building site.

A young City lawyer has been assaulted and brutally murdered.

Initial inquiries lead Fenchurch to a driver employed by Travis, a controversial new app-based cab company.

Within days another woman is murdered. A Travis driver.

As the body count rises, Fenchurch delves into the crimes and unveils a murky conspiracy that some will do anything to keep hidden.

When familiar faces begin to emerge from the shadows, Fenchurch realizes this case is more personal than he’d thought.

Could he finally be on the brink of solving the mystery that has dogged him for more than a decade: Who abducted his daughter, Chloe—and where is she now?

Or did she die?

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Mark Billingham, JD Kirk, and Alex Smith, What Doesn't Kill You continues the best-selling Detective Simon Fenchurch series of gritty police procedurals.

it is fast paced but very silly

I have finally come to the end of my patience with this series of unrealistic books. I don't mind suspending belief for a good yarn, but this just got very silly. I'm off to find a better series.

Angus King was amazing though ( as always) This book really does give him a vocal workout!

Keeps you reading …..

This is another good book in this series. It is definitely a very gritty series and it touches on uncomfortable crimes and the emotional turmoil.
At the beginning I found it a bit difficult to listen to because I felt it was perhaps a bit ‘disjointed’ - but that might just be me. But as before the story grabs you and you have to finish the book.

The plot had me chewing my lip every time ‘something’ happened (cannot explain without spoilers though), and the bad guys are such nasty pieces of work, and then all the surprises had me wide eyed.
So another good follow up book and well narrated by Angus King.
Looking forward to book 4.

This Series Just Keeps Getting Better

When I started this series of books I did wonder if Angus King was going to be the best fit for a series set in London but I couldn't have been more wrong. This series just keeps getting better and better! The books needs to be read/listened to from book one to understand the full storyline as it is a recurring theme throughout which I like as it enables the reader to really get immersed in the characters. This series is not just another police procedural tale it is much much more.
Now to spend another credit on book 4 😁

Northwest listener

Another good DI Fenchurch book containing lots of twists and turns throughout, Particularly about his daughter Cloe, who features in his first two books. Some of the twists in the book left me somewhat confused at times around the names of the criminals and police officers, but I got there in the end. As ever great narration by Angus King.

struggling to finish this one

I'm struggling to finish this one. it drags on a bit and also the child trafficking is a hard read. I'm going to leave it for now and listen to something a little lighter. Maybe I'll go back and finish it at a later date.
