About this listen

You never know where danger may come from....

6.45 a.m. A sweltering London rush hour. And in the last 27 minutes, seven people have been murdered.

In a series of coordinated attacks, seven men and women across London have been targeted. For journalist Famie Madden, the horror unfolds as she arrives for the morning shift.

The victims have one thing in common: they make up the investigations team at the news agency where Famie works. The question everyone’s asking: what were they working on that could prompt such brutal devastation?

As Famie starts to receive mysterious messages, she must find out whether she is being warned of the next attack or being told that she will be the next victim....

Brilliant story - I found it so hard not to listen to the whole thing in one sitting! There was even a little Wittertainment Easter egg. The characters were interesting - I really hope there's a follow up so we can spend more time with them. Just when I thought I couldn't love Simon Mayo more, he writes a great book with a fantastic woman in the lead role.

I've never listened to an audio book before and was unsure how I'd feel about it, but I thought Zoe Telford's narration was wonderful. It was quiet and subtle, so it didn't distract from the story.

Overall, I can't recommend this book enough.

Gripping and thoroughly enjoyable

Loved this from the off, detailed and narrators voice really lent itself well to the story. Will look forward to trying more of Simon Mayo's books.

I struggled a little to get into things. the narrator having a very calming voice meant I often found my mind wondering. as the action ramped up it hot a lot better and I got reall hooked by the final third. Nice character development and a very on topic plot. decent listen overall.

slow start but worth the time

Keeps the pace up, and an enjoyable read / listen. Very passable! Believable characters, and a solid story. Very well read for audible.

Pretty good yarn.

entertaining book ruined by a terrible monotone narration that made it very difficult for the mind not to wander.

good book, dull narration

The book is gripping but a little over long, so 4 stars. The narrator’s soft, rather flat delivery was irritating at times but the story was good enough to keep me listening.
