Publisher's Summary
Shortlisted for the VN Thriller of the Year 2022
LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER
It's Christmas and a serial killer is leaving displayed body parts all over Cumbria. A strange message is left at each scene: #BSC6
Called in to investigate, the National Crime Agency's Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw are faced with a case that makes no sense. Why were some victims anaesthetized, while others died in appalling agony? Why is their only suspect denying what they can irrefutably prove but admitting to things they weren't even aware of? And why did the victims all take the same two weeks off work three years earlier?
And when a disgraced FBI agent gets in touch things take an even darker turn. Because she doesn't think Poe is dealing with a serial killer at all; she thinks he's dealing with someone far, far worse - a man who calls himself the Curator.
And nothing will ever be the same again . . .
FROM THE WINNER OF THE CWA BEST CRIME NOVEL OF 2019 AWARD

Gripping, convoluted and brilliant
When an author writes into their characters such humanity that the reader (or listener) feels a visceral connection between both the characters and themselves, then the author has succeeded in the art of top shelf entertainment.
Washington Poe and Tilly Bradshaw come to life as 2 oddbods that totally compliment each other in this and the preceding 2 novels to such an extent that I felt, compassion, fear, a wonder as to whether they will become a love item, and much more, I know that this author is highly skilled in drawing his audience in to the core of his thoughts.
Cannot recommend this series highly enough. it's a 10/10 From me.

Becoming a bit twee
Characters unrealistically other-interested, things work out a bit predictably. Still good, but I think grittiness is being sacrificed to the god of reader-pleasing.

Guessing till the very end
Great team: Poe and Bradshaw cover bases with his eagle eye observations and her statistical Brain and attention to facts. Loved the intrigue that flowed till the very last.

A gripping tale
I loved the plot and pace of this thriller-come-mystery. It kept me intrigued all the way through. Ending had a big twist. The narrator is also brilliant- although his attempt at the only American character was.. quite funny.

Another excellent story well told and full of surprises
I enjoyed another episode with Poe and Tilly fighting bravely against the baddies! They are developing their characters and we really love seeing them grow.
Looking forward to the next one!

Ridiculous ending
Riveting - until the final episode and the explanation of the “why”. Totally unbelievable and spoilt the whole book. Such a shame.
