About this listen

The victim is lying under the trees, arms lifted above his head, unnaturally still. His muscles are slack. His eyes are empty. There are no signs of life. But he is not quite dead....

When Detective Kim Stone races to the crime scene, there is no body waiting for her: The paramedics are desperately trying to save the victim’s life. But there is something very strange about the way the man was found, his arms raised above his head, his legs spread apart. When he dies on the way to the hospital, Kim is certain she’s on the hunt for a killer…but all evidence at the scene has been destroyed.

The dead man, Eric Gould, seems ordinary, until the team dig into his past. As a teenager, he was locked away for attacking his girlfriend, and Kim suspects he was hurting his fiancé now. Was someone trying to stop history repeating?

Then another man is found on the verge of death, his bones broken to force him into an unnatural shape. The team realise the killer is sending a message—the victims’ bodies are spelling out their sins. As boys, they were both part of a group of six who bragged about their terrible crimes. But they were children then, and when she sees the grief on the faces of their loved ones now, Kim swears to find answers.

Is someone finally getting revenge…or do they think these men are still dangerous? The killer is threatening to strike again, and the only way Kim can crack the case is by tracking down the rest of the six first.

But then a revelation about what one of her team is suffering makes Kim understand why people take the law into their own hands. Do these victims deserve what’s coming to them? Or is there even more to fear from their brutal killer?

Bad Blood is a brilliantly gripping crime thriller with a reveal you’ll never see coming. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Robert Dugoni, and Val McDermid will love the latest compulsive listen from multi-million-copy best seller Angela Marsons.

Can be listened to as a stand-alone.

brilliant

of all the detective characters I follow, kim and the team are my favourites, Kims direct approach and sarcastic retorts have me chuckling my way through the book.
sadly the end arrives far too quickly. Angela, as others have asked, can you write these quicker please......

Brilliant Brilliant and yep! brilliant

Loving book 19 packed full of whodunit with a side order of black country wit and blunt speaking. Kim Stone and all characters are as real on paper as they would be in flesh....and don't forget Barney too.

Bad blood - another great read!

The twists and turns great for intrigue and maintaining the desire to keep reading. Narration keeps the characters the same and gives the reader chance to feel like you're getting to know each.

Cannot get enough of this series!

Just as gripping as the previous books in this series. I feel like I know them all personally and am so invested in their fictional lives.
