One for sorrow, two for joy
Edinburgh is gripped by the greatest terror it has ever known: a lone bomber is targeting victims across the city, and no one is safe.

Three for a girl, four for a boy
In their jobs, DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach deal with death every day. But when it becomes clear that every bomb is a trap designed to kill them too, the possibility of facing it themselves starts to feel all too real.

Five for silver, six for gold
With the body count rising daily and the bomber’s methods becoming ever more horrifying, Ava and Luc must race to find out who is behind the attacks – or pay the ultimate price…

Seven for a secret never to be told…

With twists and turns you’ll never see coming, prepare to be gripped by this devastatingly good thriller. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and MJ Arlidge.

Helen Fields has done it again. Absolutely brilliant. I'll not be spoiling the story for anyone, you will need a fair bit of tissues. The story tugged at my heart many times sometimes in pain and sometimes in joy .

keep a box of tissues close to hand.

Another amazing brilliant book. I have listened to all the books in order and absolutely loved them. I am really hoping that this not the last one. One of my top authors and the narrator did a fab job too. Highly recommended

Fantastic

All the voices were great. Not one single character grated. Good story. Kept my attention. Will definitely be trying other novels by this author.

Enjoyable book

I have enjoyed all of Helen Fields’ Luc and Ava books. This one was very powerful, moving, and sadly topical. (No spoilers) Robin Laing’s narration was superb as always making every character individual and instantly recognisable. There must be another book to follow this. I can’t wait.

Her best yet.
