About this listen

 The sergeant took some from each box and spread them around the floor so they could all see. Dozens upon dozens of them. DI Rachel Narey’s guess was that there were a few hundred in all.

Photographs.

Many of them were in crowd scenes, some just sitting on a park bench or walking a dog or waiting for a bus or working in shops. They seemed to have no idea they’d been photographed.

All women. All attractive. All between their late teens and early thirties.
Hundreds of them.

A dawn raid on the home of a suspected rapist leads to a chilling discovery, a disturbing collection hidden under floorboards. Narey is terrified at the potential scale of what they’ve found and of what brutalities it may signal.
When the photographs are ruled inadmissible as evidence and the man walks free from court, Narey knows she’s let down the victim she’d promised to protect and a monster is back on the streets.
Tony Winter’s young family is under threat from internet trolls and he is determined to protect them whatever the cost. He and Narey are in a race against time to find the unknown victims of the photographer’s lens – before he strikes again.

I felt the portrayals of the characters were really good. Narrated at an excellent pace.

This book is so well written and tightly edited. It draws the listener in from the first, but by a third of the way through, it is truly tough to turn off and led to two nights of listening into the wee small hours for me. The characters and locations are richly drawn, the story intelligent, plausible and compelling. There are moments to wince at, but it is entirely in keeping with the story and never gratuitous. There is a strong emphasis on Police procedure.

David Monteath is always brilliant in narrating and he does a winderful job here. I look forward to more from this author and hope David continues to narrate his books.

Not one wasted word here & David Monteath is fab!

I can't spoil the storyline but the subject of internet trolls is key to the plot. I may be naive and know there are "keyboard warriors" out there but the extent of the nastiness and crowd bullying mentality is horrifying. If nothing else this book highlights a need for more transparency, policing and investigation into this 21st century phenomenon.

Thought provoking and worrying

One of the best books I have listened to this year. Gripping and full of great characters. I found I had a tear in my eye at some bits - unusual for me, as the story is quite harrowing in parts, but well worth the read.

Brilliant book from start to finish

Not an easy listen. The story of a multiple rapist and, while not graphic, the language - especially when quoting social media posts - can get nasty and repetitive. I am not being overly sensitive, but this is more bludgeon than scalpel. And - again I’m not a box ticker - but I did wonder why it was narrated by a man, however competent a performance.

Unpleasant
