About this listen

One dead, one missing, one in danger…and they’ll never catch him.

When a woman is found brutally murdered just outside the quiet town of Bingley, DI Daniel Ward and his team lead the case. The ex-boyfriend with an anger problem is an obvious suspect, but this case isn’t as open-and-shut as DI Ward would like when the forensics delivers a twist he wasn’t expecting. In the middle of the autumn burglary season, with the Varga case still running rings around them all and his personal life in tatters, an unsolved murder is the last thing Ward needs the DCI breathing down his neck on.

Pulled in all directions, the HMET team stretches far too thin - and who is going to slip between the cracks? Another woman vanishes - but by the time Ward and his team connect the two cases, it’s a race against time to stop a power-hungry killer hell-bent on revenge from striking again.

But, how can DI Ward find a murderer who lives in the shadows, behind an ordinary face?

Set in the diverse, beautiful, and historical city of Bradford, The Revenge We Seek is the second in the DI Ward crime thriller series from debut crime novelist Meg Jolly. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, A. D. Fox, and J. E. Mayhew, join DI Ward today on a twisting race to solve the case.

Spine tinglingly brilliant!

Another brilliant and gripping crime thriller from Meg Jolly.


Spine tinglingly creepy with a compelling and intriguing plot, “The Revenge We Seek” is a chilling story that had me hooked from the start.

The vivid description and excellent narration really brought the story alive making it all the more enjoyable.

Can’t wait for more audio from this author and narrator.

An exciting new Scottish thriller

A great start to a new series with a clever storyline. DCI Bone is suffering from PTSD following a near death experience at the hands of the Peek a Boo killer. When a copy cat killer starts to contact him about recent murders Bone is forced to return to work too soon and the subsequent toll on his mental health is very well depicted. An exciting new Scottish thriller series, I am really looking forward to book 2. I have now listened to this on audible and all I can say is Wow! The narrator is fantastic and has really brought the story to life.

Great book

Loved the story, love the characters, especially Olly the Beagle but I'd have preferred a different narrator although Mr Turton is 'growing' on me as I progress through the books.

Pays Your Money

Well. You pays your money and makes your choice. I was going to give this book a negative review, but don't believe that would be fair. Firstly the narrator is very good. The story at times stalls and I did on occasion skip forward over too much description, not enough story. But I do that with all my books. We know what a cold day feels like! But I digress. It is told from both the perpetrators point of view and the detective's. which until I got near the end was not working. However I warmed to the main character and find myself about to download next in series! One thing new to me. at the end the author says if you did not enjoy it send it back. But if you did please keep it or else he won't get paid. Nice touch I thought. Anyway , enjoy if you do purchase.
