About this listen

Four victims.

Killer caught.

Case closed...or is it?

Christopher Masters, known as 'The Roommate Killer', strangled three women over a two-week period in a London house in November 2012. Holly Kemp, his fourth victim, was never found.

Until now.

Her remains have been unearthed in a field in Cambridgeshire, and DC Cat Kinsella and the major investigation team are called in, but immediately there are questions surrounding the manner of her death. And with Masters now dead, no one to answer them.

DCI Tessa Dyer, the lead on the 2012 case, lends the team a hand, as does DCI Steele's old boss and mentor, the now retired Detective Chief Superintendent Oliver Cairns.

With Masters dead, Cat and the team have to investigate every lead again.

But if you'd got away with murder, what would you do when the case is re-opened?

So good!

To Caz Frear, please write another and if you do, please wait for Jane Collingwood if she’s unavailable to narrate! Thank you to both of you for an entertaining weekend!

I'll miss you kat Kinsella

as audio books I have never wanted them to end. I feel like Parnell and Kinsella and Steele are my friends and colleagues. Frear really does bring them to life and gives these mystery detective stories an extra dimension that makes them feel like your favourite slippers. The narrator also became so familiar and comforting she is one of my favourite narrators so far...

Excellent narration

Although I found the story slow to start with it managed to grab my attention.
First fictional book, that I have read, that mentioned M.E. (Myalgic Encephalopathy) A condition I suffer from.

Great characters

I was really looking forward to this book, it was a bit slow and not as gripping as the previous books. Well worth listening to because they are great characters hope there will be more books about Parnell Steele and Kinsella.

DC Cat Kinsella Trilogy Book 3

Very much in the same mould as the first two books, Sweet Little Lies and Stone Cold Heart. We follow a Metropolitan Police murder investigation through the eyes of young Detective Constable Cat Kinsella who came over from Ireland with her family some years ago.

To properly follow the family aspect of the story (Cat's Father and Uncle & their connections to organised crime), I think it would help if the books were read in sequence.

The main murder investigation aspect of the story is free-standing, although it involves many of the police colleagues that we met in the first two books.

Like the first two books, it is a very well written story, I could relate to the police as ordinary people going to work and doing a job just like everybody else. This is the main strength of the book, we can relate to the police as real people. The story was perhaps a little slow to get going, but a cracking good last 3 hours of listening, and reasonably complicated. As good as the first two books.

The narrator was OK, just a rather dodgy French accent.

The ending leads us to believe that this will be the last Cat Kinsella book, at least in the form we've come to know.

Part Three of a fantastic series.

I loved Caz Frear's previous two books in this series - Sweet Little Lies and Stone Cold Heart, and part three does not disappoint. Cat Kinsella (although I hate the way Jane Collingwood pronounces it as Kin-SELLA) is a wonderful character. Feisty, funny, sensitive - she feels like a real person that you would love to meet sometime. The other characters are great too Aiden, Cat's boyfriend (from whom she is keeping mind blowing secrets) sounds just gorgeous. Jane Collingwood manages his Irish accent quite well. Cat's cop sidekick Luigi Parnell is fantastic as that funny, fatherly figure who always has Cat's back . DCI Kate Steele their boss is tough with some great one liners.. Add in Cat's guilt about her father who's involved in organised crime and other dodgy dealings and the secrets about her private life that Cat is determined to keep, and you have a fantastic book that will keep you on your toes. The story is full of twists and turns and lots of tension. There's also lots of banter and reparteé between the main characters that will give you a laugh. Start with book one in this series and move through them. You will not be sorry.
