About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Dead Line by Holly Watt, read by Jasmine Blackborow.

THE TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH
A SUNDAY TIMES THRILLER OF THE YEAR

'Vivid and packed with journalistic lore ... Mixing pulsating derring-do with painstaking detective work' Sunday Times

A Bangladeshi camp. A British ambassador. A Harley Street doctor.

Investigative journalist Casey Benedict is used to working on stories that will take her from the bottom to the top of society – stories with a huge human cost. And her latest case is no different.

A frantic message is found hidden in clothes manufactured for the British high street. They take the girls…

Casey and her team at the Post know they are on the brink of a major exposé but identifying the factories in which the clothes have been made is one challenge, following the trail of those taken is another.

Their attempts to find the girls will take Casey from her London newsroom across the world and into the very heart of families who will be destroyed if what she uncovers is ever revealed.

The Hunt and the Kill, the third in the Casey Benedict series, is out in July 2021. Available for pre-order now.

Slow build to a rollicking thriller

After a good amount of expositional build up, as the mystery is painstakingly investigated around the world, the story builds pace to a slightly ridiculous but very engaging peak.

The narrator is great for the most part, but stumbles with some of the foreign accents (the NZ one is distractingly bad).
