36 Hours

Detective Kim Stone, Book 21

De: Angela Marsons

Narrado por: Jan Cramer

Kim clutches the note tightly as her pulse starts to race. You have 36 hours. If you follow the instructions, no one will get hurt…

When Detective Kim Stone is woken before dawn because local journalist Tracy Frost wants to show her a message, she’s not impressed. But her blood turns cold when she reads the note. She has 36 hours to follow a trail set by an anonymous challenger. If she fails, people will die.

Kim’s gut tells her this is no hoax. She summons her team, desperate to prevent what lies ahead. With minutes to spare, they solve the first cryptic clue. It leads to a box hidden deep in the woods, containing a second clue and a tape. As she listens to the recording of a heart-wrenching scream, Kim knows her enemy will go to any lengths to achieve his goals… and that she must draw on all her experience of evil men to understand what is driving him.

Refusing to blindly follow orders, Kim and the team turn the killer’s clues against him, using evidence buried deep in the tapes to find where he’s hiding his victim. But they are too late… And then, as the sun rises on the second day, someone else goes missing. This time, it’s a skilled surgeon, and if they don’t save her, an eight-year-old girl will die.

Exhausted and enraged, with her bosses watching every step she takes, Kim realises the only way to win is to break the rules. But with the clock ticking, can she find the twisted mind behind this murderous game before her time runs out?

From the no.1 bestselling author Angela Marsons, 36 Hours is a pulse-pounding race against time that will not let you stop listening for a second. Perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Robert Dugoni and Val McDermid.

Can be listened to as a standalone.

Characters

Love this author and her Kim Stone series! She has developed each one of the characters through their relationship with the Guv and their respective partners. Wish I wasn’t all caught up with the series. Happy Holidays!!

Twisted treasure hunt

The storyline was gripping, filled with suspense and anxiety. 36 hours is my second to the one about Kim's childhood, mother, and her mentor.
Totally worth the read!

Love Kim.

Interesting story line with twists, turns, and the expected tenacity from the team. Another great addition to the series.

Never disappointed!

I love Kim and her team and the storyline is always intriguing! I have listened to every book in the series...and I want more!

I always love the Kim stone character as well as Stacy and penn

Obsessed

Absolutely adore this author! I have read every single one of her books and I’m a true fan. I cried when she killed off one of her police detectives as if he was someone in my own family. You will never, ever be disappointed in her books.

Not one of her best

I am a huge fan of this series but this book dragged on and on. I guessed who the real killer was early on. The last 90 minutes were the best part if the book. However there was not enough character investment in the core group to hols my interest. Usually I am caught up in the detectives’ lives; this story was very focused on the case and following detailed clues—- almost a love letter to the Black Country. Much less interesting.

Another great story!

I don’t know where Angela gets her ideas from,… but I hope they keep coming. Every crime story of Kim and her colleagues is so different from the ones before. I love that there are so many twists and turns, that I have a hard time anticipating the next move. I think I’ve got it and the story turns a completely different direction. Keep up the good work, Angela!
