About this listen
In the darkness of a cold December morning, Detective Kim Stone steps through the doors of Halesowen Police Station. She’s about to meet her team for the first time. The victim of her next case is about to meet his killer....
When the body of a young man is found beheaded and staked to the ground in a secluded area of the Clent Hills, Kim and her new squad rush to the crime scene.
Searching the victim’s home, Kim discovers a little girl’s bedroom and a hidden laptop. Why is his sister relieved to hear he’s dead - and where is the rest of his family?
As Kim begins to unearth the dark secrets at the heart of the case, DC Stacey Woodward becomes convinced that this murder is somehow linked to a women’s shelter. As a child of the care system herself, Kim knows all too well what it means to be vulnerable.
With the killer about to strike again, Kim is in deep water with a rookie squad. Inexperienced Stacey is showing signs of brilliance but struggling to hold her nerve and, while D.S. Bryant is reliable and calm, D.S. Dawson is a liability. With his home life in pieces, his volatile behaviour is already fracturing her fragile new team.
Can Kim bring Dawson in line and pull her crew together in time to catch the killer before another life is taken? This time, one of her own could be in terrible danger....
Discover where it all began for Kim and her team. An absolutely heart-stopping mystery thriller. Perfect for Kim Stone fans and new listeners to the million-copy best-selling series.
This audio edition includes exclusive bonus content. In conversation with narrator Jan Cramer, Angela Marsons talks about her writing process, her journey to being published, and never-before-told insights into the series and Kim Stone’s character. Not available in other formats.
A detective hiding dark secrets, Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent.

Gives more depth
If you are a fan of the series (which l totally recommend) then this book bounce's back in time to show the beginnings of the team Kim Stone works with throughout the other books.
Some authors fail when they try to go back in time and give a current timeline roots, but this author has managed this well with First Blood. This book can also be read without you having read the others.
The story is very good but why l gave this a 5 stars across the board was that this book gives just that touch more depth to the main characters which l enjoyed reading/experiencing.

Can't stop listening
Angela Marsons never disappoints. This book is the first of the series but you don't have to start with this one and I find it filling in some stories for the series. Very entertaining and enjoyable as other DI Stone books.

Loved going back
Aptly titled from the team perspective and having got so far through the series it's actually really good to go back and revisit how the team came together and grew together. Also really loved the one on one chat between author and narrator at the end of the book. I am very hopeful of more in this series and I can hardly wait.

This is so good
I love this series and I loved seeing how it all began. Kim is a very complex character and there are times when I both hate her and love her. I just know that I want her on my side. It was great seeing how the team come together and I really liked Dawson. She taught him so much.
Highly recommended.
