When he was the NYPD’s top homicide investigator, Dave Gurney was never comfortable with the label the press gave him: super detective. He was simply a man who, when faced with a puzzle, wanted to know.

He was called to the investigative hunt by the presumptuous arrogance of murderers - by their smug belief that they could kill without leaving a trace. There was always a trace, Gurney believed. Except what if one day there wasn't?

With Shut Your Eyes Tight, John Verdon delivers on the promise of his internationally best-selling debut, Think of a Number, creating a portrait of evil let loose across generations that is as rife with moments of touching humanity as it is with spellbinding images of perversity.

Narrator spot on as usual, Dave gurney is growing on me. Well painted characters. Vivid plot lines

Great story but felt rushed at the end

Have just discovered john verdon. He writes a good tale - the tendency to have long "dream" sequences doesn't help in my view. The icing on the cake of course is the effortless narration by Jeff Harding. A lesser narrator and I probably wouldn't have carried on with it. Shame he has only written 3 books so far. Well worth a listen

Good story predicable ending.

fantastic imagination.. really enjoying this author and as usual, Jeff Harding is superb... actually listen to stories if he's reading them...

twists and turns galore

enjoyable enough, with plenty of twists but then too many unnecessary story lines. The long gaps by the narrator between each chapter is very annoying

started well, good suspense but got too ridiculous
