Publisher's Summary

Twenty years ago: a farmer and his wife are cut to pieces by a ruthless serial killer.

Now: a woman is viciously stabbed to death in the upmarket kitchen of her beautiful house on the edge of the marshes.

Then a man called Daniel Kinder walks into Saltern police station and confesses to the murder.

But DI Rowan Jackman and DS Marie Evans of the Fenland Constabulary soon discover that there is a lot more to Daniel than meets the eye. He has no memory of the first five years of his life and has a rather unusual obsession with his mother....

Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you gripped until the shocking ending.

Excellent!

What a twisted psychological murder mystery written by Joy Ellis and narrated so skillfully by Richard Armitage! Well-developed characters and story lines kept me riveted to the end! On to the third book in the series (The Fourth Friend)!

Solid book!

Super easy read (listen), likeable characters, no one does anything super annoying like go off on their own despite advice, and overall the mystery is entertaining. It tells all its storylines well, and paints a vivid picture. The opening sequence is vividly bloody however so if you're squeamish be warned

Confusing, but all comes together

Not going to lie, I was confused for majority of it with all of the twists but it was a decent book. Not sure I would have read it but the narrator did such an amazing job I kept on listening and I’m happy I did.

A refreshing story!

This was such a refreshing murder mystery, nothing like I’ve read before. The characters are complex and likeable, and I really like how positive and deep some of the relationships between them are. I just felt like I was reading about some genuinely good people with good intentions, which is so rare! The reveal at the end is unexpected enough, but not so much that you feel like only a minimal motive was behind it. It’s believable enough and doesn’t feel like a rushed last minute conclusion like many of these kinds of books are. And the narrator is perfect, his incredible voice acting made it easy to keep up with the different characters.

Great Book!

It was a page turner from the first. I couldn't stop listening and before I knew it, I was done. Looking forward to the next in the series.
