Publisher's summary

She ruined their lives. Now they’re going to destroy hers.

"Someone is re-creating every traumatic point in your life. They are doing this to make you suffer, to make you hurt and the only possible end game can be death. Your death."

On the fourth floor of Chaucer House, two teenagers are found chained to a radiator. The boy is dead but the girl is alive. For Detective Kim Stone every detail of the scene mirrors her own terrifying experience with her brother Mikey, when they lived in the same tower block 30 years ago.

When the bodies of a middle-aged couple are discovered in a burnt-out car, Kim can’t ignore the chilling similarity to the deaths of Erica and Keith - the only loving parents Kim had ever known.

Faced with a killer who is re-creating traumatic events from her past, Kim must face the brutal truth that someone wants to hurt her in the worst way possible. Desperate to stay on the case, she is forced to work with profiler Alison Lowe, who has been called in to observe and monitor Kim’s behaviour.

Kim has spent years catching dangerous criminals and protecting the innocent. But with a killer firmly fixed on destroying Kim, can she solve this complex case and save her own life, or will she become the final victim?

The heart-stopping and totally addictive new crime thriller from multimillion-copy number one bestseller Angela Marsons will have you completely hooked.

Nope. Just Nope.

I'm a huge Angela Marsons fan and have enjoyed the KIm Stone series until now. A police procedural morphed into a psych thriller overload. Perhaps I'm just over the top at the mo with the current spate of tortured protagonists with disturbing backgrounds or horrific events in their past. But using KIm's traumatic background as a template for all the crimes in the story was just too achingly self-referential, and reeks of weariness and fatigue.

Marsons writes wonderful characters, but most of her team were left on the shelf in this outing. Stacy gets a moment of glory and Penn barely that, and poor Bryant barely gets his oars in. Woody makes a surprise appearance late in the game, but still. These characters were wasted here as mere props for the great and anomalous KIm, who can get oh-so tiring by her tormented and brilliant self. The climax was stupid and predictable; for such a brilliant mind, Kim acts impulsively but predictably and almost kills herself and another.

Please Ms. Marsons, bring the village back to life again. Send Kim on vacation (or second her to the East Midlands) and let Bryant and Keats and their colleagues solve the next one. It would be a smash hit.

Gut wrenching

This is such a good book. Completely gut wrenching and hard to read but a really good story.

Healing for Kim

Kim Stone is not a likable character, although the author helps readers and listeners understand her and so offers the chance for us outside the story to choose to develop empathy for her. In this addition to the series, Kim has to bare her story to those she has power over, her Team. In other volumes, it's only those with power over her and who are male who have this intimate knowledge. I'm curious how the author will move the arc forward if the series continues. I will have trouble accepting the Kim if she continues to act as if her past still was a secret to her peers and subordinates.

Fast paced, heart pounding, hair raising

loved this audio book for its:
*complex plots
*heartbreaking twists
*Kim Stone
and best of all, the
police team growing in sharpness, bravery, and loyalty with each chapter.
The villains are sociopathic and devious.
The victims are blameless.
Somehow because of the author's brilliance, a certain justice is achieved.
The narrator's voice is rich but tends to overdramatize the already vivid dialogue. Some of the dark humor is lost through that quirk.
I highly recommend this unstoppable tale.

I love this series!

The narrator could not be more PERFECT in bringing out the spirit of this series that will get you hooked. Her rendition of Kim Stone makes Kim's acerbic nature truly endearing. On the flip side, the way she delivers the sweet, patronizing demeanor Kim bestows on her adversaries embodies all of the reasons they have to want her dead :)
I highly recommend this entire series.
