Synopsis

A deaf woman must stop a serial killer obsessed with targeting everyone she loves in this intense psychological thriller.   This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling. Annie Black, who is profoundly deaf, has always looked out for her friend's deaf son Toby. Now she's looking for him as part of a search party. And when the fifteen-year-old turns up murdered, it's only the beginning of Annie's nightmare. Someone is targeting people close to her—someone merciless and very smart.   Teaming up with the lead Detective, Annie attempts to understand the killer's mind. With everyone she cares about in mortal danger, her work puts the entire deaf community at risk. And as the murders escalate, the killer's obsession grows. Will the police untangle the killer's motivation before it's too late?

I was looking forward to this book after reading the taster, and apart from being very gory, it didn't disappoint initially. The premise of exploring the deaf community, it's biases and discriminations, was good. We met Annie, who is a straight talker, and learn that the murders seem to be centred aro......more

Goodreads review by Veronika on May 10, 2020

This started with such promise and while I did really enjoy it I had reservations. Firstly I don’t believe Annie would have been allowed to accompany the detective Crabb to crime scenes, let alone discuss them in front of her flat-mate Scarlet, or have her own white-board at home. Secondly I am not......more

I love a good crime/murder book, but this one just didn't do it for me. Annie wasn't really likeable as a character and I really couldn't care what happened t......more
