About this listen

London.

Detective Sergeant James Henderson's remarkable gut instincts have put him on a three-year fast track to becoming an inspector. But the advancement of his career has come at a cost. Gay, posh and eager to prove himself in the Metropolitan Police, James has allowed himself few chances for romance.

But when the murder of barrister Maria Curzon-Whyte lands in his lap, all that changes. His investigation leads him to a circle of irresistibly charming men. And though he knows better, James finds himself enticed into their company.

Soon his desire for photographer Ben Morgan challenges him to find a way into the other man's lifestyle of one-night stands and carefree promiscuity. At the same time his single murder case multiplies into a cruel pattern of violence and depravity.

But as the bodies pile up and shocking secrets come to light, James finds both his tumultuous private life and coveted career threatened by a bitter legacy.

Contains mature themes.

I really didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did. Gary did an AMAZING job with the narration and the story really sucked me in. I love the complexity of each character and how everything comes together.

Narrator Gary Furlong gave a strong and solid performance. He delivered an intriguing twister with a splash of ice cold psychosis. His beautiful voice, the rhythm and tempo of his reading, he managed to keep my attention on plot. The down on his luck, goodhearted detective and his nasty slutty, slut-slut lover with attachment issues had me focused on the potential danger of sexually transmitted diseases, and the treatment thereof, while the author managed to set me up with loving the true psychotic fucker.
This was a superior unpredictable plot, with the perfect amount of sex, mystery and weird-ass primary and secondary characters.
I definitely recommend this audiobook, especially if you like mystery, crime and drama.

Happy Listening

TW for heavy toxicity and tons of angst. It’s not a romance. On the one hand it’s a story about abused, hurt people hurting other people and whom does justice serve. On the other, it’s a messed up love story.

I’m not sure what to think.

Had me guessing and the guess at it again when the story lead you on a different path.

Narration was good, but all the turmoil and conflict in a new relationship leaves a lot to be desired.

Too much internal dialogue and him being proper and too little on the murder aspect. I stopped half way through.
