About this listen

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.

John Verdon is a new author for me. I think the book was a daily deal which is why I bought it but I will buy more of his - a real audio page-turner. Jeff Harding, as always, is excellent

Equally as good as his first book! I loved everything about it, the characters, the story, the subtle humour and the narrator.

Being an avid audible listener I know how important narration is and after listening to this I’d spend a credit on anything read by Harding!

I’m a huge detective/crime fiction fan and this is up there with the best. Can’t wait to start book 3

Loved it

An intriguing and well thought out book. I never wanted it to finish , the reader is superb. I shall be signing up for anything else this guy writes.

Excellent thriller

but not a bad story. Jeff Harding makes Gurney likeable enough to keep listening. Not as gripping as Book 1

Guessed whodunnit almost immediately

Another brilliant thriller by John Verdon with a fantastic voice actor in Jeff Harding. It's great to listen to a modern day gumshoe style detective so reminiscent of the wonderful world of Chandler and Hammett. I'll be looking for more books from Verdon. Hopefully, read by Harding. I will admit that l was fairly sure early on - only a hunch - that l knew the "bad guy" and aspects of the "howdunnit" but that didn't in the least detract from the story, it's pace and the brilliantly narrated denouement.

Excellent hard-nosed thriller.

Listened to it over 3 days whilst doing diy, really kept my interest and it was well read. The reader made the characters not only believable but good to hear!
