About this listen

Brutal attacks. A sinister conspiracy. Time is running out.

In the quiet seaside town of Weston-super-Mare, a man is found unconscious on the beach with a strange symbol carved into his skin. The victim - a local drug addict - has no recollection of who attacked him or how he got there.

The sleepy coastal community is sent into shock. And when another victim branded with the same vicious mark dies from his wounds, DI Louise Blackwell realizes she is dealing with a sadistic serial killer.

But why is the twisted attacker targeting Weston’s most vulnerable people? And what is the meaning behind the mysterious symbol? Still struggling to overcome her own demons in the wake of her brother’s death, Blackwell must stay one step ahead of both the killer and corrupt DCI Finch, whose meddling in the investigation makes her more determined than ever to bring him down for good.

As the body count rises, and her feud with Finch puts her own life in danger, Blackwell faces a race against time to discover the dark crime that unites the victims and put an end to the carnage - before someone puts an end to her.

The narration is equally of high standard.

Really good series

The narrator’s voices. Her normal voice was good, but her male voices were not at all. They sounded old fashioned and thick. Not a good Somerset accent. Very few people in Weston and Bristol sound like that. It was more like Jethro.
Child voice not good either.

Locality of the story

This book is about vicious cases of branding people. What is the real reason behind it? It’s a real puzzle for DI Louise Blackwell to unpick, as usual as soon as the case gets complicated her DCI wants to call in M.I.T who also includes her old nemesis and ex colleague DCI Tim Finch. He is the reason she was sent to this quiet station due to a deliberate call he made that caused her to shoot someone. To add to this Louise is still reeling from a huge family tragedy and trying to keep on top of her job. She interfered into the investigation into the tragedy, will be there be repercussions?

Will Finch finally push her too far, will she end up as a victim herself….

This instalment was much more interesting as there was so many balls being juggled. The best one so far for me.

*Will Louise get Justice?
