Summary

DCI Kenny Murrain sees, hears and feels things that others do not. It’s a gift but also a curse.

When he wakes to the phantom sound of screaming, he knows a murder has been committed, but not where or why. Then a woman’s body is found in a Stockport hotel room. It’s a murder that seems both frenzied and carefully planned, the scene expertly cleansed of any evidence.

Over the following days, more bodies are discovered. The same frenzied attacks, the same meticulous planning. The same killer. The victims all have links to one man, a police colleague with a dark past. But Murrain discovers a more unexpected connection - with Marie Donovan, a former undercover officer now part of Murrain’s own team.

good story poorly narrated

The lack of individual character voices meant story was hard to follow in places and confusing

Good plot, well told

I liked that it depicted how difficult it is to try and solve apparently motiveless crimes

Check In and don’t check out

I really enjoyed the narration and the DCI with ESP ☺️ and interplay of characters I sense a lot more of the story to come. I knew the killer pretty early on but the story was so good it didn’t matter. More please.

story with twists and turns

The story started off quite slow but quickly picked up the pace with a very unexpected plot twist which kept you guessing.

decent enough story

OK story, but tue narration was almost apologetic. no distinction between characters, very little character definition or development, making it difficult at times to understand what or who is talking
