About this listen
The Sunday Times bestseller and winner of the Irish Independent crime fiction book of the year!
Guilty?
A year ago, Leo Stone was convicted of murdering two women and sentenced to life in prison. Now he’s been freed on a technicality, and he’s protesting his innocence.
Not guilty?
DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent are determined to put Stone back behind bars where he belongs, but the more Maeve digs, the less convinced she is that he did it.
The wrong decision could be deadly…
Then another woman disappears in similar circumstances. Is there a copycat killer, or have they been wrong about Stone from the start?

Great listen - slightly predictable plot twists
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this one. I couldn’t understand why they used a narrator with a west country accent when the characters were based in London & Kent. I felt that was the only thing that didn’t give an authentic enough feel to the whole story. Otherwise, enjoyed and worth a download!

Loved this one
One of my favourites in the series - great crime, great character development - really enjoyed this one. Have relistened many times to the series and this one is in my top 3. Fantastic reading as always from the narrator.

More please
Love the characters of Maeve and Josh their interaction, support and Josh’s protectiveness of Maeve. Josh’s walls are coming down slowly as the series goes on. Looking forward to their next adventure together.
What I did not enjoy in this novel was them working with others more than being together At times as I have always really enjoyed their banter and sometimes comically lines from Josh. Maeve brings out the best in him.

Twists and Turns
Another great story in this series. Maeve is a fantastic character, believable and honest. I have enjoyed the entire series so far. A suspenseful ending kept me riveted to the storyline.

Hardly gripping ... a little disappointing
Shame! Was looking forward to this book but can honestly say after 12+ hrs of listening, I cannot recall much detail. Was predictable, boring and completely forgettable. Narration was fine, it was the content that let it down
