About this listen

 Your darkest moment is your most vulnerable…

Stephen Berry is about to jump off a bridge until a suicide prevention counsellor stops him. A week later, Stephen is dead. Found at the bottom of a cliff, DI Luc Callanach and DCI Ava Turner are drafted in to investigate whether he jumped or whether he was pushed…

As they dig deeper, more would-be suicides roll in: a woman found dead in a bath; a man violently electrocuted. But these are carefully curated deaths – nothing like the impulsive suicide attempts they’ve been made out to be.

Little do Callanach and Turner know how close their perpetrator is as, across Edinburgh, a violent and psychopathic killer gains more confidence with every life he takes…

Includes the short story Lost Property read by the author.

An unstoppable crime thriller from the #1 bestseller. The perfect read for fans of Karin Slaughter and M. J. Arlidge.

I was excited when the next DI Callanach audiobook came out. The story didn’t disappoint and I couldn’t stop listening.
I love the character of Callanach but I became pretty irritated by Ava. She’s clueless when it comes to reading people (surprising considering her job) and with Callanach she comes across as immature and petulant (this could be due to the narrator’s characterisation?).
She says and does thoughtless things and the big ‘bust-up’ even made me think that Callanach was better off without her. It’s a shame as I’ve lost interest in their relationship which was a big part of the series. The crime aspect was still strong though so I’m sure I’ll want to listen to the next instalment.

Compelling story

I binge listened every one of this series after getting hooked on book one. Superb storylines and characters and the narration is superb. Can’t wait for book six in December.

Amazing

Helen Fields continues to deliver excellent books in this series. I have never been disappointed or been able to predict the twists that are beautifully written into every story! This book was no exception and superbly narrated by Robin Laing.
