About this listen

The electrifying new thriller from Sunday Times bestselling author, Simon Toyne.

Only one boy can see the darkness. Only one man can save him from it.

‘Perfect for fans of Lee Child’ Sun

A MURDER
An elderly tailor is found tortured and murdered in the ancient town of Cordes. Written in blood beside the body are the words: FINISHING WHAT WAS BEGUN.

A SECRET
But the dead man has left a cryptic message for his granddaughter and her son, Leo – one that puts them in immediate danger.

A RACE
They are forced to go on the run, accompanied by the enigmatic Solomon Creed. What began as small-town murder becomes a race to uncover a devastating secret dating from World War II. The few men who know the truth are being killed by a powerful organization, and only one man stands in its way.

Only Solomon Creed can stop the murders.
Only he can save the boy.

Critic reviews

"Simon Toyne is one of my favourites. In Solomon Creed, he's created a hero for the ages. A word of warning: if you have anything else to get done, don't crack open a Toyne thriller." (Gregg Hurwitz, the number one Sunday Times best-selling author of The Nowhere Man)
" The Boy Who Saw is the Pandora's Box of books - once opened it cannot be closed. Toyne's writing brings effortless fluency combined with heart-pounding action. Readers beware...this is a glorious terror of a tale." (Helen Fields)

Loved it!

Brilliantly read again.
The second chapter of Solomon Creed is as good if not better than the book.
Great story line, I was engrossed from the start. Some quiet amusing parts which made me smile, which was nice as the story is quiet dark.
Loved it and can't wait for the third instalment.

The narrator Joseph Balderrama, regularly chooses to actually whisper when a character in the book is whispering. The result being that you then can't hear the narration without having to keep skipping back and adjusting the volume up and down!
Please Simon Toyne, either pay for a more professional narrator, or instruct JB to do what the good narrators do, and just say "...and Solomon whispered keep very still...", whilst maintaining your volume at an audible level!!

A good book made hard to listen by the narration.

After listening to the first book, I couldn’t wait to listen to book two. However, I was bitterly disappointed in the narration.

In book one the narrator took on the characters and their accents (especially the Mexicans), perfectly. Not so book two. All French people sound English, and the police sound like they work for the Sweeney, with almost Cockney accents.

What on Earth is going on? When you have a series of books, the most important thing is continuity. I’m only on book two and the continuity has gone already. I seriously don’t know if I will bother with the rest series.

Bring on Johnathan Keeble or Jeff Harding.

Confusing accents.
