Publisher's summary

The dead don't tell secrets...unless you listen.

The girl's smashed-in face stared unseeing up to the blue sky, soil spilling out of her mouth. A hundred flies hovered above the bloodied mess.

Westerley research facility is not for the faint-hearted. A "body farm" investigating human decomposition, its inhabitants are corpses in various states of decay. But when Detective Kim Stone and her team discover the fresh body of a young woman, it seems a killer has discovered the perfect cover to bury their crime.

Then a second girl is attacked and left for dead, her body drugged and mouth filled with soil. It's clear to Stone and the team that a serial killer is at work - but just how many bodies will they uncover? And who is next?

As local reporter, Tracy Frost, disappears, the stakes are raised. The past seems to hold the key to the killer's secrets - but can Kim uncover the truth before a twisted, damaged mind claims another victim?

The latest utterly addictive thriller from number-one best seller Angela Marsons.

Great addition to the series

Angela Marsons has crafted another great suspense/thriller. This book does work as a standalone novel, however I recommend listening from the beginning of the series. There are plenty of twists and turns to the story to make one feel as those they're on a roller coaster.

Really enjoyed all of these books

Waited for this one to have an audio version as I drive a ton for work and thankfully it didn't take long. Great character development and intriguing plot.

Best one yet!

Can't wait for book 5!!! I listened to all 4 books in a week and i loved the character development, the plot lines and the crimes. This last one was my favorite and kept me guessing longer than usual!

Keeps you guessing all the way

What can I say. I need another book ASAP. I really like the books from Angela Marsons and I would definitely like it to be narrated by Jan Cramer. The plot is excellent the other crimes nearly nestled in the story to expose something more!!! From now on I'm accusing everyone of being the culprit until the last page of the book.

Not Marson's best

There was too much reliance upon prior novels. I had to keep reminding myself of what happened in previous books to make sense of this one. Definitely needs to be read in order of publication.

DCI Kim Stone always gets her criminal!

Book #4, once again a great mystery & fabulous narrator! My favorite duo of author & voice brings to life a wonderful crime solving team.

On to the next book...
