Publisher's summary

Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life. Little did he know....

How do you solve a crime when there's no evidence one has been committed?

Sarah Kelly goes for a night out at a club. She leaves around 2 a.m. No one sees her again.

Detective Mike Nash has nothing to go on, until a chance remark causes him to look deeper into other cases. Young women who have vanished without a trace.

Nash spots chilling similarities: no bodies, no witnesses, all disappearances explained away. He needs to find a solution and fast as two more women vanish, making it personal and potentially fatal. Both for Nash and for the women who have disappeared.

Can Nash stop a very peculiar serial killer? Discover a frantic, breathtaking mystery.

A crime thriller perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, DS Butler, or Peter Robinson.

Great Writing

Kitson’s writing is exceptional, his ability to craft an engaging, intricate story, at the top of the genre. At first, I found myself asking “haven’t I listened to this book before? Yet, barely in to chapter 2, I had concluded “oh. woah. this is entirely different from anything I’ve heard previously.” I fully enjoyed the story and recommend most highly.
Now I must confess the performance was a hindrance, until I found a solution. More specifically, the voice actor has the trait of infusing tremendous inflection and volume in the first few words of every sentence, then trailing off to an indistinguishable mumble. I am not hard of hearing, nor do I struggle with comprehension, JSYK. Ordinarily I would end the listening event and file the book in the YUCK collection of my audible library, where the mundane and hideous reside as a ready reference of what to avoid. However, as previously stated, Kitson has me entangled, so I tinkered around with the playback speed to see if I could diminish the vast difference between the start and end of every. Single. Sentence.
What worked for me: set playback to .90
Enjoy!

Too good

Yorkshire, procedural, law-enforcement, multiple-murder, murder-investigation, disappearance, small-town, rural, thriller, crime-fiction, unputdownable, relationships, suspense, teamwork*****

A truly disturbing premise.
Each character is finely developed and made very personal. The plot stays active and rises to a crescendo as the end nears. The plot twists are mind boggling and the red herrings shine. The whole thing is altogether too believable. A great and involving read.
John Lee is an amazing audio narrator/voice actor!
