Synopsis

When DCI Adam Bishop arrives at the crime scene in the dead of night, the sight of the body is bad enough—but what Adam notices next chills him to his core. More bodies surface. And the spray-painted numbers daubed above the corpses reveal the horrific truth: the killer is counting down. But to what end? Adam has no idea—until Dr. Romilly Cole knocks on his door with damning evidence pointing to a series of murders fifteen years earlier—a case she knows intimately from her past. Now, it’s personal—and the next knock on his door could be fatal. Sam Holland’s gripping debut novel, The Echo Man, riveted fans and critics alike with its raw and brutal depiction of the unthinkable depredations of a serial killer. With The Twenty, Holland kicks her depraved milieu into even higher gear with a page-turning, up-all-night listen.

4 stars. Not as great as The Echoman, but still really good! What a roller coaster! What is that ending! Don't do this to my fragile heart Sam😭 This had a little bit of a rough start, but then it just kept getting weirder and crazier. The plot twists were not jaw-dropping, but they were still enjoyabl......more

4.5 rounded up To say I’ve been eagerly anticipating Sam Holland’s second novel is an understatement as the first The Echo Man was a huge hit with me. Indeed, The Echo Man is referred to as DCI Cara Elliott appears in this one too but The Twenty can very easily be read as a stand-alone. ‘Hell is emp......more

Everybody knows that I love a dark and messed up serial killer thriller... I mean who doesn't? Sam Holland's first book, The Echo Man was absolutely brilliant and ticked every box for me. Her second book, The Twenty, amazing!  Yes, it is long, and detailed and lots of characters.  I could not get en......more
