De: J.E. Mayhew

Narrado por: Owen Welsh

Do you really know what the neighbours are up to?

Hilbre Grove is a quiet cul-de-sac, like many others on the Wirral. But when a couple returns from their holidays to find a mutilated, decomposing body in their bungalow, The Scissor Man’s reign of terror begins.

With another woman missing, DCI Will Blake is determined to stop the psychopath from killing again. And this case is personal. As bodies pile up, it becomes clear that the killer is fascinated by Blake’s past appearances on Searchlight, a true crime TV programme. To hunt down The Scissor Man, Blake must face up to his painful past, putting his career on the line. But every home has its own dark secrets. Nowhere is safe, and time is running out for Blake and all he holds dear.

Fearful Symmetry is the second exciting Merseyside murder mystery thriller in the DCI Will Blake crime series. This audiobook is a great listen for fans of JD Kirk, LJ Ross, Alex Smith, or Luca Veste.

"Sunk its claws in and had me gripped until the final page." (JD Kirk, author of A Litter of Bones)

a great story!!

I found this to be a great book from an author I had never read anything by. I actually liked this book so much, I'm going to read the first book in this series. The narrator was great.

This series just gets better!

Will Blake is back and this time he is investigating a strange case where a victim is found murdered in a house where the owners have been away on holiday. He is named The Scissor Man and it appears that he might be fixated on Will.

The book is fast paced, dark and grisly, well crafted and I became so absorbed that I listened in one day! I actually preferred this to the first book in the series. Will Blake is such an interesting character, and in this book we discovered a little more about how his mother went missing, and I think the story will continue in future books in the series. I was pleased to see that Seraphina the cat is still in residence, though I did fear for her safety at one point in the book! Really looking forward to seeing what Book 3 brings :-)

The narration by Owen Welsh was great. I always enjoy listening to a book read by a narrator with an authentic accent for the books location.

Wonderful book!

Wonderful mystery that I enjoyed listening to. Author has more books in the series to enjoy. Well done!

This IS an Awful Book

I did not like the plot, there is No character development, the descriptive writing is suitable for middle school, and, more than anything else, the narrator was completely dreadful. I finished it because I’ve had a long series of medical appointments and I was bored. However, I should have quit after the first chapter, as it didn’t get any better.

DEFINITELY NOT

No real substance to this one.
I let it run its course on Audible as I ran noisy machines, occasionally tuning in. Heard enough to feel qualified in giving a one star review.
