About this listen

Two women dead.

It was a vicious, calculated murder. The killer selected his victim at Euston station, followed her home on the tube, strangled her to death in front of her child. At the same time, killed in the same way, a second body is discovered at the back of King's Cross station. And this grisly event eerily echoes the murder of two other women, stabbed to death months before on the same day.

Two killers working together.

It is DI Tom Thorne who sees the link and comes to the horrifying conclusion. This is not a serial killer the police are up against. This is two of them - and two killers are way more deadly than one....

I don’t know why , but i just couldn’t get into this one , I usually love Mark Bellingham books , especially when he is the narrator.
Kept loosing the plot of this , i know it’s not that complicated but it seemed like it was

An interesting story

The inventiveness of the plot kept me listening right till the end. BUT why does Mark Billingham insist on being the narrator? He is a good writer but a terrible narrator. He is unable to distinguish between characters and there is no energy in his reading.

Pretty dark...

This is pretty dark, and so well crafted. Love Billingham's turn of phrase, plotting, twists & turns and his narration. It cracked along at a fair old pace and, having been sure I had the perpetrator sussed with some way to go, I was completely taken by surprise by the ending. I'll listen to something else next, but will be back for more DI Thorne before long!
