About this listen

From Sunday Times bestselling author Simon Kernick - the UK's answer to Harlan Coben - come two electrifying novellas and three gripping short stories published in book form for the very first time. Fans of David Baldacci, Stuart MacBride and Peter James will not be disappointed!

ONE BOOK. FIVE THRILLERS.

Including:

DEAD MAN'S GIFT

MP Tim Horton arrives home to find his seven-year-old son has been abducted - and the nanny brutally murdered.

The kidnapping gang's demands are simple: Tim must sacrifice his own life to save his son's.

A dead man's gift...

ONE BY ONE

Six former school-friends have been reunited on a remote island.

Separated since a fateful night twenty-one years ago, when their friend Rachel was killed, they're afraid for their lives - because the man arrested for Rachel's murder has been released.

They think he's coming for them. They're almost right.

Plus three more thrillers guaranteed to keep you gripped to the page...

Can you withstand five full-strength doses of Simon Kernick?

These short stories suit the style of Simon Kernick. High octane and pacy to start with, it ie easy to maintain the momentum through a short story. The narration is excellent with Paul Thornley doing his usual great job - incidentally he narrates documentaries on the telly, you keep expect him to say 'Tina Boyd reached for her block as...'.

Bea Holland narrates the more female heavy tales well and bring a great contrast to Paul.

I loved the first couple of stories and can't rate this book high enough. There are also some references to old friends/foes so these stories could have been written for a longer version but were cut short.
