About this listen

Will Hurley was an attractive, charming, and impressive student at Dublin's elite St. John's College - and Ireland's most prolific serial killer. Having stalked his five young victims, he drowned them in the muddy waters of the Grand Canal. Sentenced to life imprisonment when he was just 19, Will is locked away in the city's Central Psychiatric Hospital.

Freshman Alison Smith moved to the Big Smoke to enroll in St. John's and soon fell hard for Will Hurley. Her world bloomed...and then imploded when Liz, her best friend, became the latest victim of the Canal Killer - and the Canal Killer turned out to be the boy who'd been sleeping in her bed. Alison fled to the Netherlands and, in 10 years, has never once looked back.

When a young woman's body is found in the Grand Canal, Garda detectives visit Will to see if he can assist them in solving what looks like a copycat killing. Instead, Will tells them he has something new to confess - but there's only one person he's prepared to confess it to.The last thing Alison wants is to be pulled back into the past she's worked so hard to leave behind. Reluctantly, she returns to the city she hasn't set foot in for more than a decade to face the man who murdered the woman she was supposed to become.

Only to discover that, until now, Will has left out the worst part of all.

I was very quickly engaged and listened in one marathon. Cleaned house and got things done while listening. Excellent story telling

Very good story

Fascinating characters. Vivid settings that you can actually imagine being part of. Most of all thought-provoking and detailed storyline. Definitely twists in the plot I was not expecting.

I love the writer's attention to detail

I surprised myself by figuring out a large part of the plot early on, but I still really enjoyed the story. The readers did a good job, but the editing could have been better, she kept cutting out at the beginning of most chapters. Worth the listen.

Interesting mystery

Ten years after the tragic death of her childhood friend at the hands of a serial killer, Allison finds herself questioning everything she remembered, and is drawn to the man imprisoned for the murders, her ex boyfriend. There are many plot twists and an unexpected ending. I enjoyed the story and the characters were distinct enough to sort easily.

Whose pants are on fire?

This mystery was scary and creepy the whole way through. Added to that believable characterizations and an attentive and true to life depiction of female friendships during young adulthood.

Spoilers



I wanted to take Allison by the shoulders and shake her and tell her there’s no way that she was responsible for Will’s arrest. I also wanted to slap Will so hard when he got angry with her.

Excellent tale

A well-written mystery that unfolds, paralleling past and present with an intelligently laid out plotline. My one gripe, was the female narrator, who had the strangest cadence (nothing to do with accent) that grated after a while. Still, worth the listen.

Intelligent and well crafted.Worrh the listen

Just when I thought it was all wrapped up the surprise admission at the very end left me reeling! Engaging plot line with well studied interactions and fully relatable emotions that had the listener empathizing with every character, except perhaps Liz!

Very Unexpected Twist!

It was a well written story that I never wanted to turn off. And im sorry it's over too.

Excellent Listen

The snip it’s of clues don’t give away the story and I love that, although I felt like I was waiting through lengthy flashbacks that sometimes weren’t all that informative.
