About this listen
A murder made to look like suicide. Another that appears an accident.
DI Barton investigates the tragedies that have shattered a family’s lives, but without obvious leads the case goes nowhere. Then, when the remains of a body are found, everything points to one suspect.
Barton and his team move quickly, and once the killer is behind bars, they can all breathe a sigh of relief. But death still lurks in the shadows, and no one's soul is safe. Not even those of the detectives…
How do you stop a killer that believes life is a rehearsal for eternity, and their future is worth more than your own…?
Ross Greenwood writes gritty, heart-pounding thrillers, with twists aplenty, and unforgettable endings. Perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Stuart MacBride.

Another Excellent Book
David Thorpe is the perfect narrator for this book. Ross Greenwood,(author), adds in some ‘dry sense of humour’ to the story, which is great.

Takes a while to get used to the narrator but the story is chilling.
Have read others in this series and the narration is the same in each. However the story becomes all engrossing and you get over the narration. These stories are a mixture of the perpetrator’s thoughts and the detective’s perspective. You eventually discover a point where nothing can be undone and there are no winners…….. very chilling storylines from this author. A bonus when this was a free read too.

Agree with another reviewer, better than the first
A worthy sassaneach successor to Rebus!
Although Pêterborough does not have quite the same je ne sais quoi that Edinburgh has!
Interesting plot structure with convergence of the characters (no. 1 was convergence of past and present) as the identity of the villain is progressively revealed.
And as with the first, a bit of a bloodbath at the end.

Murder Novel with a difference
Hardly a murder mystery but a great story just the same, where you actually get to like the offender, or at least sympathise with him. Lots of dark humour and very well performed.

DI Barton is really not that bright!
i enjoyed this story. it unfolds well and the tension and excitement keeps going til the end.
Only thing that bugged me was that unlike most major crimes teams, this one is a bit slow off the mark. A few characters comment on DI Barton's supposed great skills but there's scant evidence of these in the narrative. He's plodding, credulous, misses the obvious, dismisses a younger colleague's [well founded] suspicions, leaving him vulnerable, indulges naive colleagues making stupid jokes about a suspect rather than actually investigating -- and totally bodges the arrest. If i were DCI Cox i'd be seriously looking to sideline him--but for some reason she seems satisfied. Maybe that's Peterborough? Wouldn't happen in a Police Scotland novel!!! Nevertheless, it's a good entertaining story.

love how the good guys are fallible and the bad guys are likeable- to an extent.
Brilliant writing. brilliant performance once again.

Narration poor.
Enjoyed the story but had difficulty following which character was which…narrators tone was virtually the same all the way through.
It was a very easy going, nearly humorous murder story…so a bit different from a scary, edge of your seat type story.

Great books
The writing is really very good in these Barton books. The story in this one just pulls you along effortlessly. If you like this genre you will be delighted with this series. Full of twists and things coming out of left field. I like how we get into the mind of the killers especially.
