About this listen

The woman’s bright blonde hair floats in the breeze. She almost looks like she could be resting on the soft green grass. But her brown eyes stare unblinking up at the sky, and the final cut across her mouth is dark with blood. Her words silenced forever....

Late one evening, as the final church bell rings out, Sandra Deakin’s cold and lifeless body is found in the overgrown graveyard with multiple stab wounds. When Detective Kim Stone rushes to the scene, the violence of the attack convinces her that this murder was deeply personal. What could have caused such hate?

As the team dig into Sandra’s life, they discover she believed she could communicate with the dead. Was that why she was targeted? The last people to see her alive were a group of women who had a session with her the night before she was killed, and as Kim and her team pay them a visit, they soon learn each of the women is lying about why they wanted Sandra’s help.

Kim realizes she must dig deep and open her mind to every avenue if she’s going to stand a chance at solving this case. And when she learns that Sandra was banned from the church grounds and had been receiving death threats too, she’s ever more certain that Sandra’s gifts are at the heart of everything.

But just when she thinks she’s found a lead, the broken body of a 19-year-old boy is found outside a call center–a single slash across his mouth. Kim knows they are now racing against time to understand what triggered these attacks and to stop a twisted killer.

But they might be too late. Just as Kim sits down at a local psychic show, she discovers something that makes her blood run cold. Both Sandra and the call center were named in an article about frauds. And this show stars the next name on the list. She looks around the audience with a feeling of utter dread, certain the killer is among them.

Totally addictive with a final twist that will leave you shouting out loud, you’ll want to inhale Deadly Fate in one sitting. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid, and Robert Dugoni will love the new crime thriller from best-selling author Angela Marsons.

Can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Another great story

I admit I am a great fan of the Kim Stone series and have enjoyed them all. This is one of the best with all of the usual great characters and a great story to boot.

Another great read/listen

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author never fails to draw me in and each story has its own unique twist.
I enjoy how snippets of past stories are mentioned but not enough to confuse the current plot if you hadn’t read the previous books.
I also love the narrator Jan Cramer as she always draws me in and adds value to the read.

Can’t wait until the next instalment

Interesting Investigation

Angela Marsons is always reliable in finding a new subject to explore and this book is no different. She has such fun with it too.
Well done on another great story.

1st time I completed an audio book!

I’m neuro spicy, I have loved reading for years and this isn’t my first Kim Stone book so that helps me focus and follow along while doing other things. Mostly I get distracted from the reading tones, my mind just wanders. I’m good with podcasts, I follow no problem. It for some reason with books, I keep wanting to see the words in my head, as though I’m still reading it even though I’m not looking at it and it gets me anxious and then I can’t focus so I need to keep going back. It’s the same for me with lectures that are all verbal. But this one has been better. Love these books so much, Angela Maddens is a fantastic writer and I love her work. Highly recommend!
