About this listen
The body of a young man is discovered in a terraced house in East Manchester. DCI Tom Caton is drawn inexorably into the dark side of the Internet, where nothing is as it seems and where there lurks a threat to his own happiness - and that of those closest to him. In two weeks, Tom and profiler Kate Webb are due to tie the knot. It's an appointment that she fears he may never keep.
Part police procedural, part thriller, part mystery, this rich tapestry of a novel delves into the threats that face everyone who uses social media that has become an essential part of our everyday existence.

Story
On the day she returns to active duty with the Serial Crimes Unit, Detective Inspector Anjelica Henley is called to a crime scene. Dismembered body parts from two victims have been found by the river. The modus operandi bears a striking resemblance to Peter Olivier, the notorious Jigsaw Killer, who has spent the past two years behind bars. When he learns that someone is co-opting his grisly signature - the arrangement of victims’ limbs in puzzle-piece shapes - he decides to take matters into his own hands.

Don’t miss the first novel in a gripping series featuring DI Clare Mackay, perfect for fans of Alex Gray, D. S. Butler and Rachel Amphlett. On the night of a wedding celebration, one guest meets a grisly end when he’s killed in a hit-and-run. A card bearing the number ‘five’ has been placed on the victim’s chest. DI Clare Mackay, who recently moved to join the St Andrews force, leads the investigation. The following night another victim is struck down and a number ‘four’ card is at the scene.

Dull police procedural. Annoying production.
The is the first of the series I've listened to. (Only two others are available as audiobooks.) For the most part, it is self-contained, although there are times when it would have helped to have read some of the earlier books in order to flesh out the main characters. DCI Tom Caton is an admirable DCI, with seemingly few of the flaws that usually characterize protagonist detectives. Much of the color is associated with his primary assistant, He is about to marry Kate, a criminal profiler, who is four or five months pregnant with their child. There is quite a lot of time spent on character development and office politics, as one might expect in a police procedural. The story itself is not very exciting except near the very end. Not a bad read, but nothing to write home about.
The narrator, Michael Troughton, was adequate, and did give different characters different voices or accents. What was really annoying were the many telephone conversations, which the production handles poorly. The remote person was given a much diminished voice, very tinny and difficult to hear and understand. When I turned up the volume in order to make the person audible, then the person nearby is far too loud and distorted. Audible ought to exercise better quality control.
It seems this series is self-published, and, compared with most others of that type, the writing is pretty good. I doubt however that I'll be reading others.
