Twelve years after he left Peterborough under a cloud, DI Bliss returns to the city and the major crimes team. Having spent years policing organised crime, Bliss is plunged straight into the heart of a serial murder investigation. 

Meanwhile, Penny Chandler has been promoted to DS and has been working in London on the Met’s sexual crimes team. But when two rapes are reported on her old patch in Peterborough, Chandler volunteers to interview the victims. Chandler joins the hunt for the attacker and soon notices a possible link between the rapes and Bliss’ murder investigation. Could the same man be responsible? 

Just as both cases seem to stall, a call comes in from an ex-policeman who knows of unsolved cases in the USA with a similar MO. Bliss finds himself travelling to California to hunt for a killer whose reach may have stretched further than anyone could possibly imagine. But in order to catch the murderer, Bliss must discover the killer’s motive. A motive which should have remained buried in the past...

Another fantastic case with Bliss. So glad Pen came back too 🥰
My only regret is the time lapse in story line between the two books.

Another great case

I just love the DI Bliss Series and have totally engaged with the characters. Book 2 was everything I hoped for and more. Absolutely brilliant, great story lines, excellent characters - can’t wait for the next one.

Excellent

Like the idea of an ageing flawed hero. A well paced story with plenty of twists and turns.

Action-packed police drama

Enjoyed the twists and turns and descriptions of the terrible Norfolk weather I felt myself on the cliff edge with them

Story and narrator

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the two stories I’ve listened to so far. The characterisations are completely believable, the narration absolutely brilliant, and the plots complicated enough to keep my interest as well as challenge me. Look forward to the next one.

What an excellent series
