Publisher's summary

The first shocking and exhilarating audiobook in the Edmonton Police Station thriller series...

DI Fred Fairservice has just returned from holiday when he’s confronted with several mysterious deaths; the mutilated dead body of a junkie, the apparent suicide of a housewife, and the murder of a cannibal, kicks off the strangest investigation of his dark and brutal career.

But the strangest element of the case is the connection to the deaths of several old men and women who are found with spiders placed in their mouths. Slowly it dawns on Fred that it’s all too familiar and echoes something strange and macabre that happened to him when he was a boy. It can’t be just a coincidence.

With Detective Inspector Mark South in tow, Fred has to stop the killings, solve the riddle of the spiders, and help find a missing girl called Heather - All before his bosses make him take early retirement and his violent past catches up with him. But DI Fred Fairservice has other much darker demons to deal with...

Spider Mouth....Great!

It is a quality story. I really loved this book, it was tense and suspenseful with a terrific ending. The series promises to be addictive and I'm looking forward to reading many of them. I recommend this audiobook to all.

Great start to the series.

Big fan of Mark Yarwood since I listened to Jairus Sacrifice. Gone back to his original Edmonton series to where it all began and was every bit as thrilled!

A great British thriller.

Read this when it first came out years ago and all of the other Edmonton Thrillers since. To date this is the
most original, twist laden take on the serial killer genre of the lot. Delighted to now see (or hear) it as an
audiobook. Thomas has done a remarkable job bringing to life the vast array of characters, from softlyspoken librarians to the gruff, world-weary Fred Fairservice, there doesn’t seem to be any character he
can’t play. Can’t wait to try the others!

A Unique, Jaw Dropping Ending

Don’t go through this London-based cop thriller thinking you’ll know how it’s going to end. Trust me you won’t! Finished listening to it a few hours ago and I’m still shook up - somewhat devastated, and absolutely pumped for book 2! Brilliantly written mark and brilliantly narrated Thomas.

Hats Off!

It is a great audiobook. For some reason, British crime writers are able to create gritty, vulnerable characters who are by no means superhuman, and Mr. Yarwood has absolutely excelled here. I loved the grittiness of this novel - the characters, the scenes, and the plot. And whilst it was hard to truly like any characters, you couldn't help empathize with them. I recommend this book.

Highly Recommended

If you figured out the ending twist before it was revealed I don’t believe you.

I Enjoyed It

For the first time, I encountered this incredible author. I did enjoy reading this book by Mike Yarwood. It has been written in an interesting 'tense' which when I got used to it was quite good. The plot was not as predictable as I initially thought and held my attention all the way through. Amazing narration as well.

I'll try the next book!

I struggled through this novel. It was hard to follow the characters throughout the book.

Well Done

It is a fast moving and a great audiobook. I highly recommend this book to lovers of modern English horror/mystery stories. I will keep up with the series.
