   Edge of your seat audiobook

   Maybe a spoiler half way into this!! So, Once the action gets going it’s intense and a good audio ‘read’ but…I was disappointed to have to suspend disbelief so hard that what happened at the end could have done so. I’ve read a number of British and Scottish police procedurals and it’s kind of interesting how every single one, including Sherlock, has an arch nemesis who, one way or another just won’t stay dead or incarcerated or…ya. I love it when the main characters are coming upon new villains in each book, new scenarios, new character growth and evolution. It does feel a bit like, ‘oh not this story line again’ when a story is going back to the ‘oh no oh no he’s bbbaaaccckkk and REALLY out for blood and mental torture of our heroes THIS time’. Perhaps I’ve become a bit jaded with this literary technique because it’s happened in almost every good Brit series I’ve read/listened to, which have been a fair amount! I’m a huge fan of this stuff. I imagine if this is your first series of the genre ever, don’t listen to me- you’ll love it! And I love it too. I just wish that…as above. :-)

   Fast moving

   I’m getting tired of the authors always having to repeat the bad guys getting free and attacking the little women. Just write an interesting story which he had until it got stupid and now I’m annoyed and won’t continue the series

   Very good

   These books are definitely improving This was a definite "can't put down" book. I'm glad The Circle is gone but now we have another religious oriented mystery. Ryan and all his team are pulled in a few directions as women are found murdered. Is there a connection? Are Denise and/or Anna targeted? A great story with one of the best narrators I've heard lately.

   Always a good listen

   This book was not necessarily my favorite but , as always, the narration by Jonathan Keeble is outstanding. The emotion he demonstrates makes the story. Plus, I particularly relish listening to his Sergeant Phillips, one of the best characters in the series. I’m on to Book 5.

   It’s ok

   I like the characters, though I too am a bit weary of hearing about the seemingly endless wondrous charms of our heroic DCI. Personally I prefer his rather more down to earth DS.

   Storyline wise I think there are only so many times you can recycle a plot in which someone you love or one of your team is in mortal peril before it becomes old and so far every book in this series has used that ploy. I’ve already downloaded the next book so I’ll hear it out, but that might be the last one for me.

   On a positive note the narration is very good and the accents convincing.

   Mixed feelings about this one

   I like this series and the characters, but I do feel that each book is marginally less good than the previous one. I’m a bit annoyed by the way the author is trying to sell Ryan’s character. I get it: he’s handsome and smart, stop pointing it out. Let the character speak by his actions rather than the adoration of the supporting characters. If I have to read about his silver eyes one more time I may strain a muscle from rolling my eyes. The story was interesting, but what really saved this one was the ending

   Why do I always think the narrator is saying Brian not Ryan 😄

   Great story and very skilled narrator who manages multiple accents seamlessly. But it drives me crazy how often I think he is saying Brian not Ryan!!!
