About this listen
It's hard to live when you think you deserve to die....
When a tired old inmate is found dead in his cell, the prison is obligated to investigate and so DI Barton attends. The men he interviews have been convicted of some of the worst things a human being can do, but it appears likely that the death was due to natural causes.
When the house of the dead man is burgled and that crime is followed by a suspicious fire, Barton desperately needs to speak to his widow, but she’s nowhere to be found.
In the space of 24 hours, everyone he wants to talk to has vanished. Then he receives some post, which makes him believe he could be the next to disappear.
Barton’s investigation goes full circle, through a series of brutal murders, back to the prison, and all signs are pointing to the fact that he’s made a terrible mistake.
There’s a violent killer on the loose who wants everyone to learn that some people deserve to die.
DI Barton is back as Ross Greenwood continues with his best-selling series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Ian Rankin.
©2021 Ross Greenwood (P)2021 Boldwood BooksCritic Reviews
"Move over Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the pages until the final dramatic twist." (Richard Burke)
"Master of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that draw you right in and won’t let go until you’ve reached the shocking ending." (Caroline Vincent, BitsAboutBooks)
"Ross Greenwood doesn’t write clichés. What he has written here is a fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's spiced with a lot of humour." (Kath Middleton)

A great Ride
Just completed the 4 books - almost one after the other as couldn’t get enough. Each book is an independent story however with each book I got to know the main characters - D.I Barton, Strange and Zander, brilliantly narrated too. I also got into the head of each killer which gave me an understanding of the crimes. Recommend all novels

Fan of the series
This book in the series has left me wanting more and yet completely satisfied. I kinda want the whole plan of how they all came together to plan it and yet feel if it was told at the end by someone looking back or having a flash back that it would spoil it. I am planing to reread this or listen again if you prefer, but first I would like to also complement the author how he has woven the characters lives though all the books I this series.

Bedtime listening, sometimes lose the plot!
I find I have to keep going back and forth to find where I went to sleep but this is not a reflection on this audiobook! My wife always says she goes to sleep during the best audiobooks/TV programs!
Seriously, the best so far with a complex but measured pace, and like Ice Killer a degree of empathy with the 'villain', a prisoner seeking revenge on sex offenders, also a final twist.
Perhaps at the cusp of becoming formulaic, So, like Fawlty Towers, call time on an excellent series and start a new one?
But I must admit I would miss Barton (and his family!), Sanders and Strange! And Serena!!
Anyway, regardless I will follow Ross Greenwood.

Should come with a trigger warning!!
This book as it should come with a trigger warning as there is quite harsh language about paedophiles. The book is extremely long and seemed to take forever to finish. Has put me off going further with this series.
