About this listen

 Interpol have tried and failed to find her. Now the combined forces of Scotland Yard and MI5 must try the impossible to prevent a major international incident.

For Dominic Elder, Witch is his passion, his obsession. And being retired is no bar to his willingness to restart the hunt. MI5 know that the man who wrote the Witch file is the key to catching their quarry. But the truth isn't easy to spot. And it is only when an MI5 novice and his French counterpart piece together the smallest of clues, that Witch suddenly looks vulnerable.

Different from the usual Rankin

I found the plot interesting but the detective characters not as engaging as Rankin’s Rebus novels. – and there are so many hunting Witch that it dilutes the impact. Perhaps a team of detectives in pursuit is closer to reality but I most enjoy following one key protagonist. In this case it might have been Dominic Elder, but not quite …

So it is Witch who takes the spotlight. We are as interested in finding out what makes a young woman such a calculated, cruel, and deadly killer as we are in who she intends to assassinate, and whether Elder and the team can prevent it. Rankin expertly peels off the layers of her character to reveal what lays beneath making the ending both satisfying and poignant.

Nicola Walker is excellent as the reader in the Audible version.

Fantastic

What a marvellous narrator Nicola Walker is beautiful voice and read so clearly.
A good story too although I got a bit confused with the different names. Perhaps my brain is going. Anyway hope Nicola Walker narrates more.
