The sleepy town of Heartsdale, Georgia, is jolted into panic when Sara Linton, paediatrician and medical examiner, finds Sibyl Adams dead in the local diner. As well as being viciously raped, Sibyl has been cut: two deep knife wounds form a lethal cross over her stomach. But it's only once Sara starts to perform the post-mortem that the full extent of the killer's brutality becomes clear. Police chief Jeffrey Tolliver - Sara's ex-husband - is in charge of the investigation, and when a second victim is found, crucified, only a few days later, both Jeffrey and Sara have to face the fact that Sibyl's murder wasn't a one-off attack. What they're dealing with is a seasoned sexual predator. A violent serial killer.

I wanted to stop I wanted to close it but I listened and cried and was glad that she might die than rather she had to survive the horror... And that was only the beginning.

This book is spoken FAST FAST FAST, and is extremely hard to listen to. The speaker should SLOW DOWN. The storyline is good, although you would have to like extreme violence to enjoy it.

The narrator was easy to listen to and the story followed with an predictable but solid story line. Enjoyable.

Easy read - with a predictable but solid story line.

It really pushed gratuitous violence and sick detail. I think we could have got the same story and sympathy with the characters with less detail on mutilations.

Decent story, good performance but…

The characters were predictable; the plot was too simple, you guess the murderer half way through and the character of Lena was awful, you just wanted to slap her everytime she opened her mouth. The main character was well rounded and the narrator was brilliant

not one of my better reads...

I stuck with this audio even though the number of mispronunciations were staggering. Seriously, does the author listen to this and want their work portrayed this way?

Painful listen

This was... interesting. The plot was good, developed and well executed however I felt that the descriptions of the rape and the various violences took up more of the book than the actual storyline, leading to the conclusion being obvious from half-way through the book as there was a lack of red-herrings and only quite obvious clues. That being said, I loved Sara and Jeffery, even if at times they both seemed quite dense and oblivious to the obvious clues laid out for them, their relationship was a great dynamic and their development well done. I will be moving on to the next book in the hopes that Slaughters writing develops and becomes better and her plots more intellectually challenging.

On the note of the reader/audio, I thought she did a very good job. Some of the mispronunciations through me off but I'm British so that may just be me, she really inhabited the characters and made the story that little bit more intriguing and engrossing.

Clearly a debut novel
