About this listen

The new audiobook from Sunday Times number-one best seller Martina Cole sees the return of her iconic heroine DCI Kate Burrows. If you liked The Ladykiller you'll love Damaged. The 'undisputed queen of crime writing' (Guardian) and the biggest selling female crime writer in the UK, Martina's unique, powerful storytelling includes Dangerous Lady, The Take, Betrayal and many more.

When the bodies of missing schoolgirls start turning up, former DCI Kate Burrows is dragged out of retirement.

A new Grantley serial killer is in town and DCI Annie Carr turns to Kate for help. She welcomes the distraction from her home life with former gangster Patrick Kelly, whose long-lost son has turned up out of the blue, bringing trouble with him.

It soon becomes clear the killer is on their doorstep and as the body count grows, Kate and Annie face a race against the clock.

But they have no real leads...and there's more to these murders than meets the eye. Can Kate take the killer down before another schoolgirl dies?

Critic reviews

"Kate is the hard-but-fair 'filth', who also likes to brush (romantically) with the wrong side of the law." ( London Lite)

Very average story line and big anti climax for the ending. Doesn’t have the usual twists and turns you’d expect from Martina Cole.

Average

I was disappointed with this book. I feel it would have been much better for the author to concentrate on the crimes committed instead of waffling on about the private lives of the characters. She also has a habit of repeating points over and over again. I think Martina Cole should read Chris Carter to get an idea of what a true crime thriller is about.

Long winded

I listened to this straight after listening to The Lady Killer’ and it was great to be reunited with Kate and Patrick again. I figured out who the killer was right away though.

Really good!
