About this listen

How far would you go to hide the truth?

A student murdered.

A professor arrested.

A teenager with a secret....

In the halls of residence of an East London university campus, 18-year-old Paige Arland wakes to a bed full of blood and no memory of how it got there.

DI Erica Swift's life has been turned upside down after her encounter with the killer known as The Eye Thief, but when she gets the call alerting her to a body found on a university campus, she's determined not to allow her grief to affect her work. The killing is brutal—a young man with his whole future ahead of him—and it's up to Erica and her team to find the person responsible.

But someone's not talking.

When another student's body is found, Erica finds herself in a race against time to stop the killer....

When I read the first book in the DI Erica Swift series it left a lasting impression so I had high expectations of this one, book 2 in the series. I wasn’t disappointed.
It doesn’t have the shock factor of the first book but it does have the drama, the twists and the edge of the seat tension that keep you glued to the pages till the very end.

The narration was fantastic and this narrator did a great job in the delivering the emotions and turmoil of all the characters.

A must read

I’ve already bought book 3 in this very good series, really enjoying them. Excellent narration.

Strong follow up

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Although I had previously read this book I went on a binge listen of the series due to the audible sale and listened to them all.

This was not as dark and shocking as the first book but took it a step further and really explored what happens when the shocking impact happened. What I struggled with how did the sister start to become so nice when at the beginning of the first book she wasnt.

I enjoyed the narration.

Interesting series

I liked the first novel and this one follows on well with another good story - a bit predictable but full of good twists.
I do find the repetition of Erika’s predicament to be a bit overly frequent.
There is also quite a lot of repetition and ‘padding’ in this story.
I will continue to listen - the narrator does a good job!
