About this audiobook
Caught in a wicked game of cat and mouse, Detective Helen Grace finds herself trapped among the hunted in the darkest thriller yet from the international bestselling author of Little Boy Blue and Eeny Meeny. Framed for a murder she didn't commit. As one of HM Prison Holloway's most high-profile new inmates, Detective Helen Grace has a target on her back with nowhere to hide. Helen has made a long list of enemies over the course of her career-some are incarcerated within these very walls. When one of her fellow prisoners is found mutilated and murdered in her locked cell, it's clear that the killer is someone on the inside. But time is running out for Helen as she races to expose the person who framed her, and the body count in the prison starts climbing. Helen will need to draw on all her investigative skills and instincts to catch the serial killer behind these murders and seek the truth-unless the killer finds her first.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5So I received an ARC for this novel a while back and did not get around to reading it until now (thanks a ton Netgalley!) and the first thing that I noticed is that if you didn't read the novel right before this, you are at a huge disadvantage when trying to understand the story when the book begins. Sometimes you can pick up an installment of a series and it reads like a standalone novel, but this is one where you really need the prior novels for this one to make sense.
That being said, once I got past the first portion of the story, things did start to make more sense, and this novel progressed in the usual crime/thriller trajectory: uncovering the mystery killer (and in this case, trying to prove if DI Grace is innocent of her crimes). The structure of this novel was a big bother for me though, as the chapters were very, very short, and the story felt really "choppy". The constantly shifting perspectives of the chapters made it hard for me to keep track of some of the story at times and I think this novel would have really benefitted from longer, more "sustained" chapters to allow the story to really develop in parts.
Not the best crime thriller I've ever read, but the story was at least engrossing at times.
