APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Looking for a relaxing listen before you drift off to sleep? You might want to leave Helen Fields' chilling serial killer thriller, The Shadow Man, until morning—this taut listen will keep you on the edge of your seat. The story centres around forensic psychologist Dr Connie Woolwine in her search for three missing people: a tech heiress, a twelve-year-old girl and a paraplegic man. As Connie begins to understand the haunting connection between the disappearances, it becomes an increasingly tense race to save them from a horrifying fate. Combining elements of police procedural, horror, and classic crime and suspense, Fields has produced some sharp, visceral storytelling here—not to mention unforgettable characters and snappy dialogue that are sure to engage readers. Fans of her popular D.I. Callanach series will be more than satisfied with this eerie and exhilarating standalone offering.
Customer Reviews
Not read solely by Robyn ☹️
Great book so far, although struggling with the unnamed female narrator. I just can’t warm to her, and the fake American accent is grating.
Also characters that appeared in the DI Callanach series now have strange accents.
The Chapters Robyn reads are excellent as we would expect, just hope I can push though and enjoy the book completely.
Oh no you changed the narrator :(
Having listened to all the DI Callanach books I was excited to listen to this. Very good start with Robin reading … and then the lady came in. Oh no….. completely wrong feel, the American accent is so corny …. I’ve had to turn it off and now I’m thinking do I buy the book and read that instead of the audio, or just give up entirely ? HOW FRUSTRATING :(
Awesome!
Book = Brilliant
Narrators = Brilliant!
Hope there’s a sequel for this couple!
