Summary

Twelve years after he left Peterborough under a cloud, DI Bliss returns to the city and the major crimes team. Having spent years policing organised crime, Bliss is plunged straight into the heart of a serial murder investigation.

Meanwhile, Penny Chandler has been promoted to DS and has been working in London on the Met’s sexual crimes team. But when two rapes are reported on her old patch in Peterborough, Chandler volunteers to interview the victims. Chandler joins the hunt for the attacker and soon notices a possible link between the rapes and Bliss’ murder investigation. Could the same man be responsible?

Just as both cases seem to stall, a call comes in from an ex-policeman who knows of unsolved cases in the USA with a similar MO. Bliss finds himself travelling to California to hunt for a killer whose reach may have stretched further than anyone could possibly imagine. But in order to catch the murderer, Bliss must discover the killer’s motive. A motive which should have remained buried in the past...

Excellent

I just love the DI Bliss Series and have totally engaged with the characters. Book 2 was everything I hoped for and more. Absolutely brilliant, great story lines, excellent characters - can’t wait for the next one.

Good story

Good story. Quite harrowing at times but it was well written and excellently narrated (except for the American accents!).

Another great case

Another fantastic case with Bliss. So glad Pen came back too 🥰
My only regret is the time lapse in story line between the two books.

pacey thriller

Good listen with one or two corny lines that are forgivable. Bliss seems to be a character who is a bit broken but still functions and is starting to need more around him than just a job .The first two have been fun so I'll stick with the rest.

Good story

Enjoyed this story, although not quite so much as the first. The narrator was excellent and just right for this book

Great book but too long!

I like these books, the characters and stories are good but there’s quite a bit of woffle and talking about the same thing over and over. Cut a bit of the rubbish out and they’ll be excellent.

What an excellent series

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the two stories I’ve listened to so far. The characterisations are completely believable, the narration absolutely brilliant, and the plots complicated enough to keep my interest as well as challenge me. Look forward to the next one.

Action-packed police drama

Like the idea of an ageing flawed hero. A well paced story with plenty of twists and turns.

Story and narrator

Enjoyed the twists and turns and descriptions of the terrible Norfolk weather I felt myself on the cliff edge with them
