About this listen

Two decades of secrets. One shocking discovery...

When a skull is found in Lough Coyne, facial reconstruction expert Dr Carla Steele is drawn into a 14-year-old case – but not all cases are cold, as Carla discovers when she and local Garda DS Jack Maguire find the brutally murdered body of a local woman close to the water's edge.

Together with Carla's partner, criminal psychologist Grace Franicosi, Carla and Jack uncover a tragic story with very dangerous and current implications.

Since the disappearance of her best friend, Carla has dedicated her career to bringing the dead home, but this time it's the living who are counting on her. In a race to save another woman, will they be able to stop the killer in time?

Really poor editing of audiobook

I'm half way through listening and enjoying the story but the editing of the narration is really poor in places. Many instances where the sound quality suddenly changes and sentences have been repeated where they should have been replaced. A real shame.

Good story but ?

This is a good plot the story unfolding with twists and turns but I found the narration uninteresting and monotonous.. one character merging into another making it difficult to differentiate between them to be honest I kept leaving it of then going back as I really wanted to listen but in the end couldn’t properly .. so no not for me this one .. I wouldn’t recommend because of the storytelling alone

Enjoyable

This is my third Sam Blake book and my second to listen to. I think this is her best to date.

Intriguing plot

Good overall story.
I think the audio needs a bit of editing. Switching between the characters was a bit disjointed and at times repeated the previous line. I found it difficult to follow who was speaking.

Gripping

I was glued to this story. Loved the twists and turns. And felt like I was submerged in their lives. Facial reconstruction is fascinating and Sam Blake brought this skill it to life.

very poor narrator

The narrator really spoilt this book for me. It felt very AI sounding, lacked any emotion, I totally could not concentrate on or absorb the story. It was just so uninteresting of tone I mentally drifted a lot, only really took in the names of main character and very rough idea of plot. Have purchased the kindle version to re-read as really want to enjoy this author's work. I had previously listened to another book this narrator was in (Strange Sally Diamond) and just about coped, probably due to the fact that the lack of tone and AI like sound suited Sally's character and there was a second narrator that broke it up. Have noted narrator's name as one to avoid in future.
