About this listen
A detective with no one to trust
A killer with nothing to lose
Detective Emily Baxter is still reeling from the Ragdoll case, and from the disappearance of her friend William “Wolf” Fawkes. Despite her reluctance to jump into another gruesome case, she’s summoned to a meeting of a new FBI/CIA/UK law enforcement task force in New York. There, she is presented with photographs of the latest copycat murder: a body contorted into a familiar pose, strung up from the Brooklyn Bridge, the word BAIT carved deep into its chest.
As the media pressure intensifies, Baxter is ordered to assist with the investigation and attend the scene of another murder, again with a victim inscribed with a word - PUPPET.
The murders continue to grow in spectacle and depravity on both sides of the Atlantic, and the team helplessly plays catch-up. Baxter must shake off the grief and fear that have paralyzed her for the last year so she can stop another terrible killer before it’s too late.

Bring on book 3!
This book kept getting me up at 5am solely so I could listen for another hour. Twisted, eerie yet still downright hilarious at times, Daniel Cole’s pacing and Alex Wyndham’s jaw-dropping performance make for an (ahem) killer-combo. Loved every second and can’t wait for the conclusion.

dreadful
3 is generous. Yeah, this was a second-listen-at-work book, and it was just as bad the second time around. The main character is... awful. How did being rude become a personality trait? Because that was all she had going for her. She was stunningly rude and badly socialized, terrible to her doormat boyfriend and still half in love with her former partner (a crooked cop who is supposed to read as a hero, or at least an anti-heto, which is problematic, but since he barely appears in this one, I'll leave it at that). That's it. And people instantly like her, despite her being objectively awful. How? Urgh. Also, she's a terrible officer and contributes basically nothing to the case, but she's supposed to be this genius crime solver?
Ugh, and don't get me started on the sycophantic techie who hero worships her and sides with her over the mother of his child. I would get it if she was actually that incredible, but... the author gives no actual proof. Just telling us how great she is without showing why doesn't really work.
But yes, the story was overblown and ridiculous. The villain or villains stitch LIVING people together and then make them suicide bombers? Yeah, I don't get it, either. The sewing two people together back to back served no real purpose other than to fill the "eew, freaky!" quota. Like, what kind of thread did they use? Because I could use some with that kind of strength! Urgh again.
Every plot point felt like it was written in all caps with a Jumbo Sharpie.
