About this listen
The Latest Tom Reynolds mystery from the internationally best-selling author of The Perfect Lie.
Nobody was supposed to get out alive.
On a Dublin city street, packed with afternoon shoppers, a young woman appears, naked, traumatised and bearing burn marks.
Tom Reynolds, now Chief Superintendent, is no longer head of the murder squad. But when it transpires the woman escaped from a house fire started deliberately and that there are more victims, Tom is sucked in. What begins as a straightforward case of arson, soon becomes something much more sinister.
The people in that house never wanted to be there in the first place. Now more of them are missing. Tom is faced with a ticking clock as he tries to locate the others and as he does, a terrifying spider's web of domestic and international crime unfolds.
And not everybody will survive the fall-out.

Geordie is not Aoife’s strong point

Such a fantastic story
My very own slight criticism would be the geordie accent
However I’m a geordie so I’m bound to be overly sensitive about it !!
But the narrator is brilliant and it’s a hard accent to master !!
Brilliant

This book immediately grabs the readers /listeners attention as we hear of a dazed and confused naked and burned woman on a city street. Naturally, the mystery revolves around who she is and what she was doing and we are soon taken into a murky underground world. The plot unfolds nicely and we meet several unsavoury characters and hear some shocking stories along the way.
The strength of this book is the way that the story mushrooms from a simple arson case and takes us to a sinister world that is unthinkable to many. The author lets her imagination run riot with the story line, some of which was, for me anyway, a little hard to follow at times, but reaches a satisfying conclusion, as all goods books should.
I loved the narration of Aoife McMahon too. I had previously heard her narrate previous Jo Spain books and also the excellent Normal People by Sally Rooney. I would look out for other books read by Aoife McMahon as she is excellent.
Fanciful story of a murky underworld

I loved the way Tom worked through the evidence and worked alongside his team to reach a conclusion. Each story was fascinating and gave some insight into Irish history and culture. i was also intrigued with the background stories of the team members, which ensured they were portrayed as people with lives and families of their own.
Looking forward to reading more titles by Jo Spain.
