Summary
'Mesmerising, macabre and magnificent. The Mercy Chair is truly terrifying, laugh-out-loud funny, and impossibly clever. Poe and Tilly are unstoppable' Chris Whitaker
'Washington Poe is a brilliant creation, from one of the finest and most inventive crime writers of today' Peter James
----
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin . . .
Washington Poe has a story to tell.
And he needs you to listen.
You'll hear how it started with the robber birds. Crows. Dozens of them. Enough for a murder . . .
He'll tell you about a man who was tied to a tree and stoned to death, a man who had tattooed himself with a code so obscure, even the gifted analyst Tilly Bradshaw struggled to break it. He'll tell you how the man's murder was connected to a tragedy that happened fifteen years earlier when a young girl massacred her entire family.
And finally, he'll tell you about the mercy chair. And why people would rather kill themselves than talk about it . . .
Poe hopes you've been paying attention. Because in this story, nothing is as it seems . . .

'Craven renders the darkness of the human condition with immense skill, ratcheting the tension to a nails-on-chalkboard pitch. Don't turn out the lights.' Vaseem Khan

Great story, poor narration
I disliked the narration, it sounded computer generated a lot of the time, with lack of inflection, which diminished the enjoyment of a very good story

Didn’t see that coming…
The Mercy Chair. Well worth the wait ( but now I am waiting for the next one)
Pretty gruesome in places but that’s fairly normal for a Craven book .
Set in Keswick and the Lake District a place I have visited since childhood, I was actually staying on Blencathra street when I was listening to this audio book!
Washington and Tilly go from strength to strength , such an interesting relationship
The plot weaves and turns and the final twist was totally unexpected but leaves a very big question …
Excellently narrated as usual
(Please hurry up with the next book )

Gripping, enthralling. Best Tilly and Poe yet
Amazing and gripping. I couldn’t stop listening. As usual the twists and turns of the story didn’t disappoint. It’s the best work yet for the Tilly and Poe books. I urge those who haven’t read the series to do so. It’s an excellent read for any crime novel fans.

The Mercy Chair...
Another brilliant Poe and Tilley story. Full of twists and turns as usual and an ending that I admit caught me off guard. Some of it was predictable but that helps keep the interest up. I thought the narration was good. Highly Recommended and I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Twists and unexpected turns.
Fantastic book, Poe and Bradshaw make the most unusual yet perfectly balanced team, and this book kept me engaged and surprised right til the very end.

Another great book
I love this series, Poe and Tilly are great characters. Far more twists and turns than I expected in this book. A gripping listen once started I couldn’t stop. Outstanding
