amazing

Matilda never fails. This series just gets better and better with every book. My only complaint is that Michael Wood can't write fast enough because I am already ready for the next.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book. Was sad it was over. Can't wait for the next one.

Bloody brilliant! Wood and Beattie winners again!

I do prefer British detective and mysteries and this again proves why. Michael Wood’s DCI Matilda Darke audiobook #10 continues with his outstanding creative talent that grabbed me from the beginning to end. Stephanie Beattie’s narrative skills shine through. Both are a perfect pairing that I pray continues. DCI Matilda Darke and crew search for a brutal serial killer, leaving me at the edge and keeping me there throughout. Wood interweaves subplots that continue from previous books in this series: I think it is advisable to start with the first book. Though this a dark listen, I do have to say, however, during the hilarious Christmas turkey dinner conversation, I recommend not drinking anything or you may spit it out with laughter. I know I did. Whodunnit? With one hour left, I I had no idea. “Silent Victim” jumps to the top of my favorites in my vast Audible library. I anxiously await #11. Well worth a credit, however I lucked out with paying a mere $11.09. So highly recommended, I can’t see to the top. Epic, I say. EPIC! EPIC! EPIC! A nod to Wood, Beattie and Audible for making this audiction available. I am ecstatic that #11 is forthcoming.

Another Michael Woods winner

For any mystery lover, Michael Woods never disappoints. Once again, he delivers. So many twists and turns. Just when you think you've figured out the who dunnit, another twist.

Same old story

Tired of Wood “killing” Matilda. Change the story line We need to keep her alive and working—pick on someone else

Meh

This author needs to shut down the series. Nothing original at this point. This last one was barely above a yawn.
