About this listen

Accident? Dangerous game gone wrong? Or murder? DI Blackwell faces her toughest case yet.

When the body of a young woman is discovered in a shipping container in Bristol, the police suspect she was an illegal immigrant whose death was a tragic accident. But their theory is shot down by two pieces of evidence: the container was due to ship out, not in; and, even more sinister, a video camera with a live feed was filming her from a hidden compartment.

Someone watched her die. Slowly.

DI Louise Blackwell is ten weeks pregnant, a fact she has largely kept to herself, and between bouts of morning sickness she now has a murder to investigate. While the docks offer few other clues, the discovery of more live feeds convinces Blackwell that there are other trapped women…and that some of them are still alive.

As she scours historic missing-persons cases looking for a pattern to the abductions, Blackwell finds herself in a race against time to uncover the voyeuristic killer’s motive and stop any more women becoming caught in the cruel and deadly game. But with every step being closely monitored, can she outwit a murderer whose method means staying hidden?

Critic Reviews

“An original and deftly crafted police procedural murder mystery…superbly narrated by storytelling talents of Danielle Cohen. The result is a vivid and inherently compelling 'theatre of the mind' experience for fans of contemporary 'whodunnit' murder mysteries.” —Midwest Book Review

Excellent series

The main character, DI Blackwell is well done by the narrator/s as are each of the other characters. The story keeps you moving at a good pace giving a clear vision of victims and the criminals, not missing out on giving you insight into the detectives involved. I can't wait to read the 7th book. Each can be read on their own, although I found the reading order helpful in the detectives timeline.
