Publisher's Summary

Do you really know what the neighbours are up to? 

Hilbre Grove is a quiet cul-de-sac, like many others on the Wirral. But when a couple returns from their holidays to find a mutilated, decomposing body in their bungalow, The Scissor Man’s reign of terror begins. 

With another woman missing, DCI Will Blake is determined to stop the psychopath from killing again. And this case is personal. As bodies pile up, it becomes clear that the killer is fascinated by Blake’s past appearances on Searchlight, a true crime TV programme. To hunt down The Scissor Man, Blake must face up to his painful past, putting his career on the line. But every home has its own dark secrets. Nowhere is safe, and time is running out for Blake and all he holds dear.

Fearful Symmetry is the second exciting Merseyside murder mystery thriller in the DCI Will Blake crime series. This audiobook is a great listen for fans of JD Kirk, LJ Ross, Alex Smith, or Luca Veste.

"Sunk its claws in and had me gripped until the final page." (JD Kirk, author of A Litter of Bones)

ok

It was a perfectly serviceable procedural. The protagonist was kind of a pain in this one, but he did show some growth as the story went on. The minor development in the lost mother subplot was interesting, and the hints are a tumultuous backstory for the love interest.
I did think that the villain was pretty well done, and the secondary characters were well-written.

I listened to this one, and I have to say it. The narrator is bad. Very bad. Closing in on comically awful. I sped it up to try to ameliorate it, but I could only go up to 1.75, because of his tendency to slur his words. And his character voices were shockingly awful. Like, borderline offensive. The poor guy gave it his best shot, but wow, it was not good.
