The Body in the Stairwell

DCI Craig Gillard, Book 10

De: Nick Louth

Narrado por: Marston York

You can run. You can hide. But you can't escape…

Jonathan Hale is terrified. The wealthy property lawyer and money launderer is back home in Surrey after a nightmare experience in a U.S. jail. The police have him under secret surveillance.

But Hales's fears lie elsewhere. His plea bargain has earned him the enmity of The Reptile, a notoriously cold-hearted gangster, now confined for life in a maximum-security jail in Arizona thanks to Hale. He's taken precautions, moved house, hidden his identity and installed security for his wife and family. But still… what if The Reptile escapes?

For DCI Gillard it should be just another week at work. But before long he is involved in a desperate manhunt that will test him to his very limits.

Be prepared.

Strap yourself in for an intense and unforgettable crime thriller that won't let go, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Cara Hunter and Mark Billingham.

Hair stood on end!

Louth once again proves his plotting and writing genius. He also managed to use the pandemic as a practical plot device. Superb narration too.

The Best of the Series

This is the most action packed and engaging book of the series! Couldn’t stop listening. Really enjoyed it!

That Was Different

Great storyline a little scary with social media & teenager girls, had you hanging on every word towards the end. Narration was fantastic as usual.

Great listen

Good all around. I enjoyed listening as I traveled. It was hard to turn off.

Another great Nick Louth nail biter!

I admit, I was worried at first that the villain/murderer was a bit too much for me, but in true Nick Louth fashion, he went only so far, but not TOO far!

Very suspenseful

I enjoy this series because they are all quite different. The lead detective isn’t always right and he makes mistakes but he shows up and works it out.

Compelling story

I wanted to listen more and more. very scary for a great portion of the book.

Excellent

Many of the reviewers complained that there wasn't enough of Craig in the story. It's true, and we all love Gillard, but all of the other characters were so well fleshed out, that it kept you wanting to see what was going to happen to them. I really enjoyed it , and look forward to the next.

Exciting and beautifully narrated

A very exciting and edge of your seat story! Absolutely love Marston York’s reading of these books. He is exceptionally skilled and talented. Truly equal to the writer’s skills.

Great listen!

This book is kind of wordy so if you miss a few minutes here and there you can always catch up with the story line!!
