    Publisher Description

    The greater the evil, the deadlier the game…




    When a rapist is found mutilated in a brutal attack, Detective Kim Stone and her team are called in to bring a swift resolution. But, as more vengeful killings come to light, it soon becomes clear that there is someone far more sinister at work.




    With the investigation quickly gathering momentum, Kim finds herself exposed to great danger and in the sights of a lethal individual undertaking their own twisted experiment.




    Up against a sociopath who seems to know her every weakness, for Detective Stone, each move she makes could be deadly. As the body count starts to mount, Kim will have to dig deeper than ever before to stop the killing. And this time – it’s personal.




    Absolutely unputdownable, nail-bitingly tense and with a twist that will put your jaw on the floor. If you love Karin Slaughter, Val McDermid or Robert Dugoni, this will keep you flipping through the pages long into the night, and desperate to read the rest in this multi-million-copy, internationally bestselling series. 




    Can be read as a standalone.

    PUBLISHERS WEEKLY FEB 8, 2021

    In British author Marsons's gritty sequel to 2020's Silent Scream, Det. Insp. Kim Stone and the West Midlands Police are tasked with solving the murder of Allan Harris, a convicted rapist released early from prison for good behavior. The evidence leads straight to Harris's victim, Ruth Willis, who immediately confesses to killing him, but an interview of Ruth's psychiatrist, Alexandra Thorne, leaves Kim suspicious of the doctor's methods and motivations. She's not wrong—Alex is a manipulative sociopath who toys with her patients, but unfortunately for Kim, Alex takes her scrutiny as a challenge. The tension mounts as Kim and Alex's cat-and-mouse game escalates. Also weighing on Kim's mind is the department's investigation into a child molester who videotaped his crimes and likely had an as-yet-unidentified accomplice. The subplot's denouement feels abrupt and unearned, but the characters are complex and keenly rendered, injecting pathos into what could have been a rote procedural. Readers will hope to see more of Kim and company.

    Great Story

    What a great story this author weaves. The most horrible villain I’ve come across. Several times tears came to my eyes. I have to keep my dictionary app open on my phone as there are many British words I’m not familiar with. That’s okay since it increases my knowledge. But then comes chapter 61 with a reference to car speed in miles per hour rather than kilometers per hour; really? At least be consistent.

    Excellent

    Not quite what you’d expect and it makes for a great read.
