Summary

Electrifying. Addictive. Suspenseful. At the top of her game. Karen Rose, the multiple Sunday Times Top Ten best seller, returns with a new mini-series, new characters and her best novel yet.

Deacon Novak has returned home. The experienced FBI Agent knows that his move to Cincinnati's Major Crime Enforcement Squad will be challenging, but the greater challenge will be saving his younger brother before he becomes the kind of criminal Deacon is chasing.

Faith Corcoran has escaped her identity. Being a therapist to victims of sex crimes was rewarding, but her work with their offenders has jeopardized her life. Her move represents a chance to build a new life in the empty old house her grandmother has left her.

What Faith doesn't know is that a killer has made the house his playground, taking girls into the basement and murdering them. And now Faith is about disturb his fun. With a murderer focused on her, Faith is going to have to put her trust in Deacon if she's going to survive. Because this killer is always closer than she thinks....

The first in a brand new series - and Karen Rose at her tense, tantalising, and thrilling best.

Too closely related

Enjoyed it very much but felt there were too many people in it, particularly relatives! Was inclined to get mixed up and have to go back to listen again.

Great book but.......

What did you like most about Closer Than You Think?

The book is great

Any additional comments?

The skipping between reading and listening rarely picks up in the right place. If I've read 20 pages, it'll go back to where i finished listening last and not register I've read on since then.

this book went on for my whole trip

Would you consider the audio edition of Closer Than You Think to be better than the print version?

I havent read the print version I cant do written books now they make me sleep.I found there was a lot in this so any chapter missed needed to be re visited.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed the need to remember and revisit things ,sometimes books are to much like tv and hold your hand throughout.This did not

Intense with a unexpected twist

What a amazing story. At first start was little slow but by third chapter things startled to get very interesting.
I can honestly say I did not see that ending coming the way it did.

With these suspense thrillers you can get idea of who the suspect is and come up with your own idea where the story is heading.

Great book, very well spoken. Will be looking into her other books as this was the first of Karen rose novels I have listened too. I would not hesitate to give her novels listen. May be my next best author

Great Listen

If you could sum up Closer Than You Think in three words, what would they be?

Couldn't stop listening

What other book might you compare Closer Than You Think to, and why?

Which character – as performed by Susie James – was your favourite?

Faith

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have like to but for me at 22 hrs its too long for one sitting

Any additional comments?

Very well written it was so easy to picture the scenes
