About this listen

NARRATED BY HARRY TREADAWAY, WHO STARS AS DAVID HUNTER IN THE PARAMOUNT PLUS ADAPTATION OF THE CHEMISTRY OF DEATH

When the bizarrely mutilated body of a young woman is found near the tiny isolated Norfolk village of Manham, it isn't just the fact that she was a friend that disturbs Dr David Hunter. A one-time high-profile forensic anthropologist, he was once all too familiar with the different faces of death, until a devastating personal tragedy made him abandon his former life and career.

Now hidden away as a country doctor, Hunter had hoped his past would remain buried. So when he's asked to use his arcane skills to help track down the killer, he's reluctant to become involved. He knows to do so will only stir up the painful memories he's been trying so hard to forget. But then another woman disappears, plunging Manham into a maelstrom of fear and paranoia where no one, not even Hunter, is exempt from suspicion. As the once peaceful community begins to tear itself apart, he knows he will need all his knowledge and expertise if the twisted killer is to be stopped...

I thought I was so clever (for once) and worked out who the killer was was, thinking how obvious it was...until i found out how wrong I was 🤣. If like me, you listen to books at bedtime, this will keep to awake for hours! Its one of the best books ive listened to in ages.

The narrators voice is perfect, loved him!

Much better than the original audible version. Not only the full book but the narrator's tone matches the story waaay better. Sombre and soothing, I am firmly a new fan of Treadaway's voice!

So much better!
