About this listen

A teenager is found dead, stabbed through the heart by a professional killer. Detective Stephen Greco and his team must find out who the victim was and work to piece together the backstory. Then 'The Knifeman' strikes again, leading DCI Greco into a depraved world of exploitation. How is drugs baron Vinny Costello involved? What is the connection with a private clinic that provides plastic surgery for the elite?

Good short detective story

Enjoyingthese quick, short detective tales. Love the northern British narration which is a familiar and rough around the edges dimension that adds to the story

Standard crime and love mix

Greco is a real character with poor balance between life and work and desires which can compromise his professional standing.The real crime in the story takes too long to be discovered and many readers will spot it early on.But the tale rolls along nicely.I had to abandon the audio version it was so badly narrated.

A sordid and unhappy but compelling tale!

‘The Knifeman’, a killer for hire, is leaving neat dead bodies but it’s only the tip of the iceberg as DCI Greco and his newly formed Serious Crime Squad follow the trail of bodies to a much darker international trade. Greco is as bleak as ever, still dealing with grief and betrayal over his ex-wife. Greco has brought DS Jed ‘Speedy’ Quickenden and DC Grace Harper with him and the other members of the team can feel the cliche. I almost gave this four stars, the story had so many characters to keep track of. Although the dark and tangled web was satisfying and compelling, it was hard for me to follow at times. Grace has shown herself bright and capable but I haven’t enjoyed the long story arc involving her flirty overtures towards Greco which reach a crisis point here. UK actor Nicholas Camm uses a huge variety of voices and accents to differentiate all the characters here, it was very good work (currently free on the Audible Plus catalogue).

To the narrator

Stop whispering, stop whispering, stop whispering, stop whispering, stop whispering, stop whispering, stop whispering, stop whispering! You are ruining the hearing of this series!
