About this listen

The greater the Evil, the more deadly the game....

When a rapist is found mutilated in a brutal attack, Detective Kim Stone and her team are called in to bring a swift resolution. But, as more vengeful killings come to light, it soon becomes clear that there is someone far more sinister at work.

With the investigation quickly gathering momentum, Kim finds herself exposed to great danger and in the sights of a lethal individual undertaking their own twisted experiment.

Up against a sociopath who seems to know her every weakness, for Detective Stone, each move she makes could be deadly. As the body count starts to mount, Kim will have to dig deeper than ever before to stop the killing. And this time - it's personal.

The rising star of the British thriller scene returns with a novel that enthrall fans of Rachel Abbott, Val McDermid and Mark Billingham.

Watch out for more from D.I. Kim Stone

A detective hiding dark secrets, Kim Stone will stop at nothing to protect the innocent. Evil Games is the second book in the series - see where it all began in Silent Scream - out now.

Critic reviews

"Stunning." ( The Mail on Sunday)
"I absolutely loved it...This one is one of the best crime thrillers I've read in a long time, and that includes mainstream authors such as James Patterson!" (Fiona's Book Reviews)
"I don't think I've been so hooked by a new author since the discovery of Mark Edwards or Mark Billingham...if you finish a crime thriller feeling like you just need to have a lie-down and a cup of tea to get your breath back, then the writer has done their job. Angela Marsons, I still don't have my breath back." ( Reading Room with a View)

Excellent.

My second DI Kim Stone novel and am currently gobbling them up. the back story of Kim is so believable and draws you in to find out more. This story is psychologically scarey yet utterly enthralling.

My favourite in the series so far

I read the Kim Stone books all in a big blitz, how lucky am I? They are fabulous and this one really did it for me. A cracking criminal mastermind, or maybe not. This one stretches the fabulous Stone more than a bit. Great stuff. Well read too.

Do your homework

Please use a black country accent instead of a brummy one. Rowley is pronounced Row(as in argument)ley, Cradley Heath is pronounced as Craidley. The storyline is great and keeps me wanting to go on not put it down. Love the characters and have already recommended the books to family and friends.

Storyline superb; narration poor

Having listened to the first book, I took a chance on the second one in the hope that the narration had improved. Unfortunately, it hadn't very much.

That said, the storyline itself was a little unusual and, again, very good. This was an absorbing plot which carried you along, unfortunately at the narrator's speed which, in my opinion, gives the listener no chance to catch their breath.

Strangely addictive! Still hate the narration!

I really enjoyed the first book but almost gave up on the trilogy due to the terrible narration. Although I couldn't resist buuing the second book!
I have to admit I didn't find the narrator quite as irritating as in the first book, but still thought it lacked flow and hated the accents!
I enjoyed the fast-paced story and found it a really gripping thriller, although far fetched and cheesy!
Have already purchased the third book :)

Loved this book, wish I'd read Book 1 first to acquaint myself with the main characters.
