About this listen

London 1998. A murdered young actress. A predatory American film producer. DC Ruth Hunter and her partner, DC Lucy Henry, find themselves embroiled in the dark and sleazy side of the entertainment business, where it’s more than looks that kill.

Ruth and Lucy are called to the brutal killing of young actress, and it seems that her murder might be connected to a cover up of serious sexual misconduct in London’s film industry. However, when the investigation is thwarted at every turn, they begin to wonder if they will ever solve the case.

When a lucky break turns their attention to a man suspected of stalking the actress, Ruth and Lucy think they now have the prime suspect in their sights. With the clock ticking, will they be able to collect enough evidence to charge the man before he escapes abroad?

The Imitation of Darkness is the third book in the DC Ruth Hunter Murder Case prequel series. If you like chilling police procedurals, true-to-life characters and psychological twists, then you’ll love this book.

Complexellent British thriller, expert narration

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Audible Plus, and “An Imitation of Darkness: DC Ruth Hunter,” Book 3, by Simon McCleave, narrated by Rachel Atkins, is a prime example of its excellence. As a fan of British books, I was thrilled to discover this hidden gem, which combines intricate storytelling with phenomenal narration. Atkins’ performance is truly impressive, bringing each character to life with perfect dialects and a captivating delivery. McCleave's writing is deviously delicious, weaving a complex and gripping story that held my attention from start to finish. I'm amazed it took me so long to discover this series, but I'm grateful it was available in the Audible Plus catalogue at no extra cost. I've already chosen another book from this series, eager to experience the seamless collaboration between McCleave and Atkins once again. If you're a fan of British thrillers, do yourself a favor and dive into this exceptional series – you won't be disappointed.
