About this listen

When Robbie Bishop, star midfielder for the Bradfield Vics, is poisoned by a rare and deadly toxin, profiler Dr Tony Hill and trusted colleague DCI Carol Jordan have their work cut out for them. Then a bomb explodes in the football stadium, causing massive casualties - and another man dies from poisoning. Is there a link between the cases? What are the motives for these crimes? The clock is ticking, and the death toll keeps rising....

WRONG READER

Saul Reichlin is totally the wrong reader for this book. His odd, staccato delivery and bad accents make the characters come across as naive – as though the reader has entered a child's world peopled with cardboard cutouts. He totally murders the story pun intended, and he kills the words of Val McDermid, whose gritty modern urban world and fully rounded eccentric characters, suddenly sound like half developed stereotypes whose dialogue comes from an episode of Dora the Explorer.

Boring

I have read most of this series multiple times, but this story line could not hold my focus and lacked the grit and tension of Val's usual pen style.
