Publisher's Summary

A MISSING DETECTIVE

DCI Matilda Darke has been kidnapped and her nemesis, Steve Harrison appears to be behind it. He’s currently residing in the supermax of Wakefield Prison and spends twenty-three hours a day in his cell, so how could he possibly be responsible?

A SERIAL KILLER WITH A VENGEANCE

As Matilda’s team race to find her, they’re alerted to a body found in an abandoned car on the outskirts of Sheffield. With forensics scouring the woodland for clues, the last thing they expect is for the body count to rise.

A RACE AGAINST TIME

Meanwhile the search intensifies for the DCI when a video of her kidnapping is leaked to the media. And as she desperately tries to uncover what has led to her being held captive in an underground cell, she’s about to find out how much danger she’s truly in.

If Matilda’s team don’t find her soon, they might not find her at all…

Kept me interested from 1st page to last

The book was compelling with constant action/suspense. If I had one small complaint, it would be that too many of the main characters became the targets/victims of the suspense. Stretched the imagination a bit and I found myself rolling my eyes at times. Otherwise very good and I look forward to the next in the series. Narration was excellent and characters well developed.

A much-anticipated listen

I’ve been looking forward “Below Ground.” Featuring narrator Stephanie Beattie and author Michael Wood, of course I chose this new listen. I have the entire series and so far am audicted to Book 11. More later. Carry on.

More Please!

I love this series. Action from the very first second to the very last. Characters are developed so well, you are invested in their individual stories as well as the over arching storyline. Look forward to the next.
