The greater the Evil, the more deadly the game....

When a rapist is found mutilated in a brutal attack, Detective Kim Stone and her team are called in to bring a swift resolution. But, as more vengeful killings come to light, it soon becomes clear that there is someone far more sinister at work.

With the investigation quickly gathering momentum, Kim finds herself exposed to great danger and in the sights of a lethal individual undertaking their own twisted experiment.

Up against a sociopath who seems to know her every weakness, for Detective Stone, each move she makes could be deadly. As the body count starts to mount, Kim will have to dig deeper than ever before to stop the killing. And this time - it's personal.

The rising star of the British thriller scene returns with a novel that enthrall fans of Rachel Abbott, Val McDermid and Mark Billingham.

What the critics say

"Stunning." ( The Mail on Sunday)
"I absolutely loved it...This one is one of the best crime thrillers I've read in a long time, and that includes mainstream authors such as James Patterson!" (Fiona's Book Reviews)
"I don't think I've been so hooked by a new author since the discovery of Mark Edwards or Mark Billingham...if you finish a crime thriller feeling like you just need to have a lie-down and a cup of tea to get your breath back, then the writer has done their job. Angela Marsons, I still don't have my breath back." ( Reading Room with a View)

Most Relevant
Ok, so. I love this series. It's fast, tightly plotted, very entertaining and the crimes are always creative. But.
I hate the evil psychiatrist character so much. She is a cartoon character. The whole Svengali thing is... goofy. It was a groaner. But, the ending was so wonderfully satisfying. The secondary characters were all quite compelling, and the side plot with the two little girls was a nice addition.
The poor protagonist sort of regressed in this one, being even more unbearable than usual, and then at the same time doing the savior of the helpless thing with the dog and the autistic teen. I know that's meant to show that she has a heart and isn't just an aggressive misanthrope. But it still feels a little... patronizing? I don't know. That said, she also did have some great character development here, as well, and some nice moments that show her humanity in a subtle way.
(My other gripe is about the author's thing about fat people, and "fixing" them. I'm re-listening to the series, and so far it's three for three.)
All this having been said, though, this was a heck of a fun listen.

The stories are good, unfortunately I cannot get past the narrator. To me, she sounds like she is reading a shopping list, charges through pages, not much intonation and, in my opinion ruins the author's books. Really too bad as I don't think I could listen to another Angela Marsons book with this narrator.
