About this listen

The new audiobook from Sunday Times number-one best seller Martina Cole sees the return of her iconic heroine DCI Kate Burrows. If you liked The Ladykiller you'll love Damaged. The 'undisputed queen of crime writing' (Guardian) and the biggest selling female crime writer in the UK, Martina's unique, powerful storytelling includes Dangerous Lady, The Take, Betrayal and many more.

When the bodies of missing schoolgirls start turning up, former DCI Kate Burrows is dragged out of retirement.

A new Grantley serial killer is in town and DCI Annie Carr turns to Kate for help. She welcomes the distraction from her home life with former gangster Patrick Kelly, whose long-lost son has turned up out of the blue, bringing trouble with him.

It soon becomes clear the killer is on their doorstep and as the body count grows, Kate and Annie face a race against the clock.

But they have no real leads...and there's more to these murders than meets the eye. Can Kate take the killer down before another schoolgirl dies?

Critic reviews

"Kate is the hard-but-fair 'filth', who also likes to brush (romantically) with the wrong side of the law." ( London Lite)

The last three books of this series have been enjoyable but I guessed the killer in each one early on in the story.

Predictable. Guessed the killer fairly on.

I love this narrator (brilliant job Annie!) and have loved all the books in this series but I’ve been getting increasingly irritated by our “heroine”. I actually liked that she was fallible and not perfect in the beginning but I increasingly feel that Cole missed the point on this and Kate has become such a self righteous know-it-all and truly believes that she is “a legend in her own lunchtime”. I found her behaviour deplorable at times, I think Cole genuinely thinks she’s create a strong powerful female protagonist but there is nothing strong about women who bring other women down. This book was relationship heavy and the thriller side of the story is sidelined.

Can Kate Burrows get more sanctimonious?
