MEET DETECTIVE ALICE ROSSI IN THIS BRILLIANT NEW CRIME SERIES.

A brand-new mystery from #1 bestselling author Helen H. Durrant that will have you gripped from start to explosive finish.

A female serial killer with a deadly agenda. The detective who must stop her. Luxury holiday lodges in the stunning Peak District. The game begins . . .

Callum is lured to an isolated boathouse by an attractive older woman. When she gets him alone, she knocks him out with a single blow. As he wakes up, her voice comes out of the darkness, “You’re a sprat to catch a mackerel”.

Surrounded by hills and lakes, Still Waters is home to a close-knit community of wealthy retirees. It’s an unlikely setting for violence. The police don’t take Callum’s disappearance seriously: he’s 24-years-old, after all. But Callum’s mother, a Still Waters resident, knows that something is very wrong.

Then a body is discovered floating in the lake. Head bashed in. But it’s not Callum.

And someone tweets: Come out to play one last time, Alice. Still Waters run deep. #MadHatter.

That’s when DCI Alice Rossi is called in. She’s back.©2022 Helen H. Durrant (P)2022 W. F. Howes Ltd Crime Thrillers Detective Fiction Mystery Police Procedural Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Crime

Well narrated but simple. Prefer a more complex listen. Wasn’t drawn in by the characters.

Simple and predictable listen

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Another gripping investigation by the detective and Helen Durrant. Excellent read by Katie West looking forward to next instalment.

Stand alone murder

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
An interesting tale but feel it needed editing. Then a weirdly odd too fast ending with little mystery and too many missed steps.

Too long and poor ending

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
good story, boring narrator. dry and dull narration spoiled a good story. will read book 2 rather than listen to it.

It’s refreshing to have a female serial killer and this one has a vendetta against DCI Alice Rossi but why?
There’s a nice twist in this book, one I didn’t see coming which is always a bonus.
There’s plenty of suspects to keep you guessing, I don’t want to say too much and risk spoilers so I’ll just say that this book is well worth the read.

The narrator does a great job, her delivery really keeps you totally immersed in the story.
