About this listen

Book number eight in the DI Bliss series.

When dark desires have no limitations, anything is fair game.

After a young woman is found strangled to death, Bliss is called to the scene. When he learns that one of his business cards was found among the victim's clothing and he is told what was written on the back of it, Bliss is immediately troubled. The card was one of five he handed out to trafficked young women he and his team had previously rescued from a shipping container.

When he sees the victim, Bliss realises she was not one of those saved that day. So whose card does she have? Any why? And is it connected to her murder?

The murder investigation proves to be more complex and challenging than the team could possibly have imagined. But just as they think they have it figured out, they learn that depravity has no boundaries....

Stop with the violance against women

I have enjoyed Forder's books but I couldn't finish this one because of the use of rape and violence against women as the plot line. Honestly, it's hard to find a mystery that doesn't have rape somewhere in its story or back story and there are few women characters that escape this fate. But can we just stop that NOW? Constantly portraying women as victims, and especially as victims of sexual violence, perpetuates the vision that all women are potential, and desirable, victims. Add to the fact that the graphic detail in this book shows that the author does not understand the physical violence he is describing, such that it comes across as a pornographic rape fantasy. PLEASE DO BETTER!

Extremely sordid - very disappointed

Tony Forder plots and writes exceedingly well. However, this book describes horrendous sex crimes. Greg Wagland's narration is restrained and compassionate. I will return this book. I could not finish it due to the subject matter.
