Best one yet

My favourite of the series so far! Good story line, very little dwelling on the old girlfriend (thank goodness 😅) and also not disclosing who the villain was until the end. I find knowing who the killer is before the DCI is frustrating.

Exhilarating!

This series is so good now. Dan is the best. A cop who is a lovely guy, isn't tortured, has a nice family and his head screwed on. What's not to love?
Anna-Lou Weatherley really knows how to construct a cracking mystery with heaps of twists.

Bring on the next one!!

Couldn’t stop listening …

I think this is my favourite of the series so far. Layers of complexity and themes covered. I recommend this series and such a bonus that most titles are included with an Audible membership.

Wo..what a thriller!

Loved it from start to finish. Couldn’t stop listening to find out what happens next and next. As always Anna Lou is an excellent crime and investigation writer. The narrator just brilliant. I think Anna Lou should let him read and narrate all her books because I just love listening to James L. Can’t recommend the night of the party highly enough.

Truly gripping listen

Just when you think the story is going a certain way, there’s a new twist. I couldn’t put this down! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
