About this listen

The terrifying sequel to the number-one best seller The Magpies.

Five years ago Jamie Knight lost everything: his home, his wife and their unborn child. But at least the woman responsible, 'Dark Angel' Lucy Newton, was in prison, and slowly Jamie was able to rebuild his life.

But now Lucy has been freed on appeal, and before long Jamie receives a message from a desperate stranger. Lucy is up to her old tricks - ruining lives for fun.

Jamie agrees to help. But once again, he has no idea what he is getting himself into....

DO NOT READ THIS, IF YOU HAVEN’T READ THE MAGPIES.

I loved the Magpies so having realised there was a sequel I jumped at the chance to read on.

I wasn’t disappointed and feel that Mark Edwards continued the plot superbly.

Great, short sequel to The Magpies

The terror continues in this short sequel. This is book 2 of 3

Jamie knight lost everything that he loved due to his obsession that took him to the edge. 5 years on we see him in Australia after roughing it finally trying to piece his life together.

Just as he thinks he can move forward the person he most despises Lucy is no longer detained and is starting afresh elsewhere.

Online he had been communicating with Lucy’s haters and supporters and one person is asking for his help. He should really walk away……

He is on a plane to the U.K. and far too late he discovers his error……

This is a short sequel but it packs a punch

*Thrilling*

This is only a novella and is too short to be really worth the credit, but for everyone who has read Magpies it is a must listen. Follows on from where Magpies left off and carries on with the same suspense and compulsion of the main novel. Maybe should have the third part - “The Last of the Magpies” which is also a novella, thrown in as a two for one credit deal to be worth the credit.

Not worth a credit but a good listen

My first thought on reading this, was I was so excited to do so. I couldn't wait for it to come out, I actually had high hopes for an outcome I really thought was certain, can't say, as don't do spoilers, but once I was finished, in one because it's so short, I was angry all over again. Jamie's conduct... Just, wow. Even after everything he went through, he didn't change. Without trying to give away anything, don't read this if you had hopes for Jamie's redemption, in my opinion. The plot was good, I like what happened, but Jamie just gets on my nerves. Sure, if there's a 3rd etc, book, I'll read it of course, but it'll take a lot for my view of Jamie to warm. Well done Mark, another good one. I also liked the fact Hill was also able to read this one. Really made it feel like the continuation it is. Another narrator would've ruined that for me.

He still hasn't changed

Mark Edward never fails to excite me with his books.. another excellent read and audible version.. I'm hoping there's a sequel to this.

Excellent read

Very disappointing, so predictable and then cut short! 2 hrs 46 mins. Wish l had realised, l definitely wouldn’t have wasted the money.

Short changed!

After enjoying one of this author’s books (a more recent one I suspect) as an easy but entertaining listen, I gave this series a go when they came up on a half price deal. I ploughed through the first novel and wished I hadn’t but then - stupidly - figured that a) I’d paid for the next novella (two actually) and b) if he managed to convince the publishers to go for 2 more (albeit short) books in the same series then they must have improved

Nope.

I teach year 6 children (10 and 11 year olds) and, all joking aside, if one of our more able children wrote sentences as pedestrian as these, we’d be sitting them down and working through it with them!

The overall effect wasn’t aided by the narrator who sounds like a slightly over-eager 12 year old himself most of the time. He manages to simultaneously achieve an implicit exclamation mark at the end of every sentence whilst also somehow seeming monotonous.

And if one more character said “lovely...”

People who are being paid to write shouldn’t be allowed to use “nice” as an adjective once, let alone repeatedly.

Irritated at myself for buying all three at once. I got a refund on the first because it was dire but I feel like I ought to push on through numbers 2 and 3 as I didn’t feel like I could ask for a refund on all three and now I’ve got that “well I’ve paid for it.... It would be a waste not to listen” feeling to contend with.

Honestly, though, I think having paid for number 3 in the series and then not listening to it is probably the lesser of two evils.

If Louis Theroux read a 12 year old boy’s homework assignment...
