At long last, a final reckoning is coming for Frieda Klein....

In a north London high street, a runaway vehicle crashes to a halt. The man in the driving seat was murdered a week earlier. On Hampstead Heath, a bonfire blazes: in the flames lies the next victim. As autumn leaves fall, a serial killer runs amok in the capital, playing games with the police. The death toll is rising fast, and the investigation is floundering. But this is no ordinary killer, and every new victim is intended as a message to just one woman. Because psychologist Frieda Klein is in hiding. And someone is coming to find her....

The narration of the finale is as perfect as it is throughout Beth Chambers's superb sequence of readings.

A top notch finale to the enthralling series.

I had anticipated this book for some months but unfortunately it was disappointing, storyline was confused and a lot of it felt like padding and unnecessary page filling rather than true storytelling and living up to the expectations I had from previous books. Felt a little let down with this, narrated well but storyline wasn’t strong.

Disappointing

Having read and enjoyed the whole series I was initially very put off by the poor reviews that the finale attracted however as it came on offer I decided to give it a go and it was much better than I'd been lead to believe. Not perhaps on a par with previous books but certainly worth it to see how it all ends

Good
