Summary

Book 1 - Undercurrents (You never know what, or who, is around the corner)

Eight women falling to their deaths in this stretch of river over the last year is not a coincidence. They can’t all have had the same ‘accident.’ So what’s going on?

The police won’t listen. I should know — I’m engaged to one of them. But as a journalist for the local newspaper, I’m well-placed to investigate for myself. Mark, my husband-to-be, isn’t happy at me ‘undermining’ the police in this way, but I don’t care. The women who have died deserve justice — and the rest of us deserve to feel safe enough to walk freely after dark.

The rest of my life is idyllic. Mark is everything I could ever want, we have a beautiful daughter and our fairy tale wedding to look forward to. My career is starting to take off and I feel invincible.

But the death toll reaching double figures reminds us that none of us are.

The police aren’t doing their job properly. How is it that I’ve managed to uncover the eerie connections between the victims, but they haven’t? Mark worries I’m becoming obsessed with it all and in doing so, he says I’m putting myself at risk.

But I’ll make them listen. Even if it’s the last thing I do…

Book 2 – Drowned Voices (When guilt cannot be silenced)

All I want is get back to normal. Whatever ‘normal’ is these days. After all, our family will be scarred forever after everything that’s happened.

My sister-in-law falling prey to the serial killer that stalked our usual peaceful town is something I’ll never get over. But equally, I’m beyond relieved that my husband has been exonerated of involvement in any of the women’s deaths. Our nightmare is finally over.

Or is it?

When another victim is pulled from the tranquil river Alder, it’s clear the wrong person has been blamed for the deaths that went before. Meanwhile, my husband is disappearing at all hours of the day and night, and even when he’s at home, he’s unbearable to be around. Suddenly, I’m forced to question everything I thought I knew about him.

And then I find his computer search history

The chilling truth starts to unravel as I discover just how close to home the killer is lurking. I have to protect our daughter — I have to protect myself.

But at what cost?

Book 3 – Emergence (When you've reached a dead end, where can you go?

They don’t need to name the dangerous prisoner who’s escaped whilst in transit between prisons. The chill that snakes up my spine tells me exactly who it is.

And I know the first place he’ll be heading.

With a history of my own escape from him twelve years ago, I can already foresee the relentless manhunt that’s about to unfold. The question is, will he be caught before he can do any more damage?

As a fresh wave of killings creeps closer to our new hometown on the east coast, I know one thing for certain.

That he’s coming back for me.

With this shadow from our past again on the loose, my family become prisoners at home, each of us not allowing the others out of sight. But one family member seems to think she knows better than the rest of us,

Putting the theory, blood is thicker than water, to the ultimate test.

Do not waste a credit.

Actually angry that I wasted a credit on this utter rubbish. Terrible narration too. Just avoid.

What a shocking waste of a credit ..

I’m struggling to know what to say about the story line or plot because of the wooden narration .. I couldn’t get past the awful bland emotionless spoken dialogue .. it drones on and on .. really awful .. audio books rely so much on the story teller engaging with the listener .. this was no where to be heard in this .. I struggled on for a few chapters then had to STOP .. as in the headline of this review a total waste of money .. very annoying !!!
