À propos de cet audio

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

In a small town full of secrets, everyone’s a suspect.

When a body is discovered, bled dry on a beach, the sleepy seaside town of Weston-super-Mare wakes up to a nightmare. For Detective Inspector Louise Blackwell, recently transferred to the town she last saw as a child, it’s her first case on the job.

The victim - Veronica Lloyd, an elderly volunteer at a local church - has puncture wounds to her hands. When a priest is found killed in a nearby church in a similarly grisly condition, it becomes clear that Blackwell is dealing with a righteous and bloody murderer. But the victims aren’t random. The killer has a vendetta and is hell-bent on exacting twisted revenge for a dark secret dating back years - and there are more murders planned.

As the body count rises, Blackwell faces a race against time to solve the mystery of the murderer’s identity and put an end to the carnage. She thought she knew Weston, but the town holds more secrets than she’d ever have imagined. Who can she trust and who knows more than they are letting on?

She must discover the crimes that unite the victims - before it’s too late.

I'm not actually sure how to rate this. Objectively, I think it was a good book. Solid writing, the mystery was pretty good (I'm glad the motive wasn't the motive that you would think it would be, iykwim). The obsessive Catholic angle was... kind of cheap? But maybe that's me being biased. The author did do a good job of putting it all together, though, and creating a believable backstory for the villain.
I didn't mind the protagonist, and I actually found the secondary plot dealing with her corrupt ex partner/romantic partner pretty interesting.
Overall, not a bad book, but I didn't get into it as much as I had hoped.

alright
