About this listen
After a devastating car crash wipes out her family, Laura struggles to get her life together. Grieving, she becomes forgetful. She doesn't remember how money got into her purse, or buying that pint of milk....
Adam is the perfect boyfriend. He cooks meals. He does the housework. He looks after Laura's every need. He knows everything about her. But Laura has never met Adam. And she knows nothing about him.
What turned him into a monster who stalks his victims? How did he become warped from a sensitive boy who adored the fairy tales his gran read to him? And what is he trying to say with the bouquets he sends?

I wrap my arms around the tree trunk, pressing my cheek against it until the bark digs in and the missing poster is finally secured. I try not to look at the photograph on it. At the features so similar to mine. Perhaps this will be the year someone comes forward. Were crucial mistakes made by detectives from the very beginning? Could the pressure of living two lives have led my sister to run away - or even end it? Or did someone in her tight circle of friends and family have reason to want her gone? Someone out there must know something.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Didn't work for me
If you can accept that Adam, the misunderstood serial killer, is a real person, then you will probably really enjoy this suspense/thriller. I couldn't buy it--he struck me as the author's fantasy of what a serial killer might be like, described repetitively in great detail. Given Adam's history, there just seemed to be something way off in the naive yet cunning psychopath he became. The book's flowery finale was truly unbelievable.

Terrible narration
The reader sounds like a reporter rather than an actor, which is what a quality narrator should aspire to. The reading is clipped and unnatural with inflection in all the wrong places. It’s hard to even rate the story when the narration clouds it so much. Not finishing and not recommending.

Flowers for the Dead
I've read the other books by Copperthwaite, and they were fairly entertaining. This one, however, was completely different from the others. More police procedural...and not very realistic. I probably would have enjoyed it more if someone else had read it. The guy should stick to non-fiction or something. It was horrible. He would read a sentence and put emphasis on various words for no apparent reason. At the very least, a female narrator should have read the "Laura" parts. This is the perfect example of a good plot ruined by bad narration.
