About this listen
The fifth stunning thriller in the Kate Brannigan series, from best-selling author Val McDermid.
Kate Brannigan’s having a bad week. Her boyfriend’s death notice is in the paper and her plan to catch a team of fraudsters is in disarray.
Kate can’t even cry on her best friend’s shoulder, for Alexis has worries of her own. Her girlfriend’s pregnant, and when the doctor responsible for the fertility treatment is murdered, Alexis needs Kate like she’s never done before.
Delving into the alien world of medical experimentation, Kate confronts betrayal and cold-blooded greed as she fights to save not only her livelihood, but her life as well....

Go girl...
Not sure about this book. The story line is ok but it is all a bit neat. I enjoy the characters and their interaction, relationships hope the next one has a better story.

Not as good as....
My title says it all really. This series is not as good as the authors other books - Tony Hill & Carol Jordan or Karen Pirie, for example. It maybe because these stories are shorter or that Kate Branigan is telling the story of her cases, but I think that it's to do more with there's more detail going into the appearance of the characters and what their wearing, haircuts, clothes,etc. and the descriptions of the places, landmarks, weather, etc. that I get bored with.

Great plots and unusual twists and turns.
Brilliant narrator and characters are brought to life. Good themes explored and I do so love the author’s humour.

Very entertaining
Getting a bit familiar with the format now, after first 2, but entertaining just the same.

Fast pace narration
Please, Chloe Massey, slow down your narrative when the story’s suspense increases! Your excitement adds appropriate atmosphere, yet your speed sometimes doesn’t give the listener sufficient time to pick up on all the actions and feelings of the moment.
Thank you for your excellent voice ‘painting’ of each of the characters - it is easy to distinguish one from another.
