Publisher's summary

A bloodied and bruised girl runs out of the woods and into the path of oncoming traffic. The police are shocked to discover that she's a missing schoolgirl they've been trying to find for the past three weeks. Traumatized by her ordeal, she's unable to tell them what happened to her.

A woman's body is found crucified in a barn on the Yorkshire Moors. Evidence found at the crime scene links her to the schoolgirl.

Hot on the heels of a commendation for her work on a serial killer case, Detective Inspector Danica Summers is invited to join an elite task force specializing in the investigation of high-profile crimes. Concerned that she's only been invited because she's good PR, Dani is desperate to prove that she's worthy of her place on the team.

When the case involving the missing schoolgirl and the murdered woman is taken on by the newly-formed Murder Force, Dani is touched by the vulnerability of the victims and is determined to capture the monster who ruined their lives.

Her search for justice will take her to the heart of darkness.

Absolutely wonderful!

I can’t even think of words to describe this book. Well written. Well read/narrated. It has been the most interesting that I’ve read/listened to in a long time!

Almost there

3.6 stars
In terms of crime thriller Eyes of the Wicked is an ok read; decent story and plot. But what annoyed me constantly is the unnatural dialogue and reaction. Let’s see… you found a strange girl cover in blood in the middle of a deserted road at night. Would you just take her on without asking her name ? Or even what happens? It’s a small thing like this here and there that frustrated me about this book. Otherwise it would be more enjoyable.

Very Easy to Follow

Great story and perfect narration. The story has you hooked on the first page. No real twists in the plot, but still left me contemplating what would happen next.

Stilted writing; horrible narration.

I'm not sure if the book (writing) is as generic & voiceless as it appears to me; it could be the effect of the horrible narration. The pauses are long, the words drawn out and it is pretty much emotionless. The voice sounds as if it should be reading a child's bedtime story to put the kids to sleep. The characters are lifeless and don't seem very smart. If they solve the case, which I imagine they will, it will be miraculous. I, however, won't be around to see what happens. I am doing something I seldom do: giving up after listening to more than half of it and moving on. I just don't care about how it plays out.
