Publisher's summary

When Caroline Daniels takes a deadly fall in front of a train and her lover fails to turn up at the funeral, Zoë Boehm wants nothing to do with the case.

But Caroline's boss is persistent, and as Zoë attempts to unlock the secrets of a woman she's never met while in search of a man who could be anywhere, she starts to wonder if he's found her first. And if he has, will that make her the next victim?

Even better than book 1

It has really been fun coming back and Listening to these after all the Slough House books. You can see the glimpses of some of his later characters. That is not to say that these are solely unique and enjoyable..because they certainly are. The vocal performance is fantastic, doesn’t take you out of the story at all. Great all around listen!

Impressive Chops

I have enjoyed all of the author’s Slow Horses books.

With this VR-ish door into the world of a PI, he’s displayed his unerring grasp of character in a new universe. I came away with the notion that his reach may be infinite.

Well done.

Great story, great characters and great narrator

It’s a great story this one. Intricately plotted, and Sarah and Zoe are back and ready for action if absolutely necessary. And of course action is necessary. It’s a slow-burn but we’ll worthwhile.

The narrator spoils the story.

Julia Franklin manages to turn Mick Herron's insightfully drawn characters into caricatures. Such a pity.

Not one of Herron's best

A disappointment - and that's coming from a huge fan of Herron's Slough House novels and novelas. Most annoying to me in the narration is the reader's singing the lyrics of old songs.

Creditworthy

This is a story that is listenable in spite of the reader. It is not brilliant as all the slough house stories are. There aren’t many laughs. The ending is fairly predictable. The beginning is slightly confusing. It is creditworthy but not nearly as good as Herron’s earlier effort with the same character, Zoe.

Not one of his best

Too slow, too repetitive, and even for Mick Herron, too far-fetched a climax. And a very unsatisfactory cliffhanger at the end.

But, as always, entertaining.

Not my favorite Mick Herron.

I love Herron’s writing, but have always preferred the gritty Slough House characters to Zoë, This time the narration ruined the book for me.

Poor plot average reader stick with the Slough house series.

Far cry from the Slough house series. Annoying main character, silly plot and a very average reader.
