About this listen

Do you want a thriller that grips from the first line?

Do you want a thriller to leave you gasping for air?

Connor Laird frightens people: he's intense, he's fearless, and he seems to be willing to do anything to protect himself and those he loves. He arrives in the Longacre Children's Home seemingly from nowhere, and instantly becomes hero and villain to every other child there.

Thirty years later, someone is killing all of those who grew up in the Longacre, one at a time. Each of them has secrets, not least investigating cop DI Ray Drake.

One by one the mysteries of the past are revealed as Drake finds himself in a race against time before the killer gets to him.

Who is killing to hide their secret?

And can YOU guess the ending?

Very twisty

Cleverly written and brilliantly narrated. I really enjoyed this audiobook. The characters have great depth which added to my enjoyment. The author takes you on a journey through the past in order to solve a murder in the present.

Engaging read full of twists and turns

I couldn’t stop listening to this, brilliantly narrated and full of twists that kept me guessing. The characters are portrayed with depth and nuance and the plot was compelling. Will definitely be listening to more in the series and was great as a free listen from the Plus Catalogue.

The mystery and anxiety driving rushed decisions

The end was disappointing as many parts did not follow the actions as believable. Felt this part was rushed.

Confusing

This story started well but there were too many different stories going on, the jumping backwards and forwards could be a bit confusing. I like to listen to a book while doing something, however, this book needed total concentration to keep up. The narrator got very over excited and shouted a lot which I feel was not always needed.

So many twists!

Really enjoyed this book. So many twists at the end! Definitely worth a listen. A little brutal in places but who wants a tame killer story?
