About this listen
Cameron and Lisa Murdoch are successful crime-writers. They have been on the promotional circuit, joking that no one knows how to get away with crime like they do. After all, they write about it for a living.
So when their 7 year old son Zach goes missing, naturally the police and the public wonder if they have finally decided to prove what they have been saying all this time - are they trying to show how they can commit the perfect crime?
Paul Cleave is currently dividing his time between his home city of Christchurch, New Zealand, where all of his novels are set, and Europe, where none of his novels are set. His novels have so far been translated into 20 languages. He has won the Saint-Maur book festival's crime novel of the year, has been shortlisted for the Ned Kelly award, the Edgar Award, the Barry Award, and has won the Ngaio Marsh award three times for NZ crime fiction.

Uses words like lethal weapons.
-- New York Times
Tense, thrilling, touching. Paul Cleave is very good indeed.
-- John Connolly, NYT bestselling author
Cleave writes like the fine-tuned punches of a middleweight boxer - with short sharp jabs to the solar plexus that make you gasp. The Kiwi crime writer scores another knock-out punch with his latest novel... The pace and the carnage accelerate toward a climax lasting for several pages and leaving you breathless.
-- Courier Mail, Brisbane

Karma
Thoroughly enjoyed this read a crime writer writing a crime novel on crime writers accused of plotting a dastardly crime to boost sales or a plot for their next book - criminal. Totally threw me off the scent more than once. How would you act, would trying to prove innocence make you look more guilty does your ‘criminal’ mind become a hindrance or a help? As a kiwi had some cringe moments with the British accent of the narrator narrating a book set in NZ about NZ characters. Overall a big tick

Dreadful.
Did not get past first couple of hours. I very seldom do not finish even bad books. Plot depended on ridiculous situations. Very disappointed as wanted to read a good NZ crime writer. I was also irritated by the reader’s performance.
