Publisher's Summary
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
In a small town full of secrets, everyone’s a suspect.
When a body is discovered, bled dry on a beach, the sleepy seaside town of Weston-super-Mare wakes up to a nightmare. For Detective Inspector Louise Blackwell, recently transferred to the town she last saw as a child, it’s her first case on the job.
The victim - Veronica Lloyd, an elderly volunteer at a local church - has puncture wounds to her hands. When a priest is found killed in a nearby church in a similarly grisly condition, it becomes clear that Blackwell is dealing with a righteous and bloody murderer. But the victims aren’t random. The killer has a vendetta and is hell-bent on exacting twisted revenge for a dark secret dating back years - and there are more murders planned.
As the body count rises, Blackwell faces a race against time to solve the mystery of the murderer’s identity and put an end to the carnage. She thought she knew Weston, but the town holds more secrets than she’d ever have imagined. Who can she trust and who knows more than they are letting on?
She must discover the crimes that unite the victims - before it’s too late.

Decent thriller that got better as it went on.
The first hour or so was a little hard to get into, mainly because it felt like nothing special, but the story improved as you got further into it. It never quite felt amazing though, yet it did paint a nice picture of the area and climate. Due to the fact the story is partly told from the killer's perspective, there wasn't much in the way of a twist ending unfortunately.

Really enjoyable!
Although a bit gruesome at times this is a really well written police crime novel. This is the first I have read by Matt Brolly but I now intend to read more.

Why do I have to wait for the next one
Omg I loved it. I’m desperate to hear more about the characters. I was a great listen. Great story. And loved how everything was wrapped up nicely at the end.

Intriguing, steady rolling story
Enjoyed the story immensely. Not a fast paced thriller but held my interest throughout. Found the start a little slow as the main character kept jumping from past to present a lot but the narrator kept me engaged with the different characters voices, they were brilliant. After the first few chapters the story moved along at a steady pace. Would recommend.

Great start to a series. Have pre ordered the next one
Terrific storyline. Some classic themes but fresh and interesting. Occasionally i I would have liked the reader to take a softer tone. But did not spoil the book

Disappointed. Could not get into the story.
Narrator was clear but the tone and accent was distracting particularly at excitable or stressful sections in the book.

Abandon logic all ye who enter here
I tried. Really tried. The soap opera was bad enough, but the main character is possibly the worst team leader in a crime novel. She can't even share or receive information, but instead festers about who's sleeping with whom.
Avoid.

Terrible Voice of the Reader
Reader pronounces the “g” at the end of words. Grating on my nerves. Had to delete it!
