‘This is a total BOOM BOOM POW! of a book…Budge up Jed Mercurio when you are done working on Line of Duty I think it is time for you to meet Matilda’ LJ, Read and Rated Book Review Blog

‘Excellent plotting. The twists keep on coming making this an irresistible read’ Michael J. Malone, author of A Song of Isolation

You’re a survivor, aren’t you, Matilda? But what’s the point in surviving when everyone around you is dead?

When DCI Matilda Darke receives a mysterious telephone call, she immediately dismisses the threat. Afterall the Homicide and Major Enquiries team are a regular target for prank calls.

But ignoring this warning might soon be the biggest regret of Matilda Darke’s life.

A lone gunman is on a deadly rampage around Sheffield, leaving a bloody trail in his wake. Taking his shots with a sickening precision, he’s about to leave his mark on the world and change Matilda and her team’s lives forever.

The next chilling instalment in the DCI Matilda Darke thriller series, perfect for fans of Patricia Gibney and Angela Marsons.

How I looked forward to this book. I’ve listened to all available in Audible and thoroughly enjoyed them. This, however, does not live up to its reputation. How many mass murders have happened in our lives? I didn’t want to listen to another one in gory detail. Where is the mystery that DCI Matilda Darke solves to show off her police procedural skills? Not here, I assure you. I am happy that I did not waste a treasured credit and spent $9+ instead. I never return books I purchase. Narration, of course, is perfect by Stephanie Beatty (a waste of her pitch-perfect talents). I can’t recommend this one, but I am not giving up Michael Wood’s Matilda Darke series. I fast-forwarded through. Note: I truly was disappointed when listening to “Time Is Running Out,” there was a detailed reference to a previous audiobook that was not Audible-available in listening order. Why? Why? Why would an author give a detailed description and ending? WHY?

Not the best in the Matilda Darke series

This is the latest book in a series that started out well. The characters were well defined and realistic and the crimes they solved were plausible. However this author has slipped into the same whirlpool that many crime writers follow - every book is more extreme than the last, the crime is more violent and the characters unrealistically heroic. The initial crime could well have been used for the entire book with the police tracking down the perpetrator and working through all the motives and the relationships between the criminals. Instead we are lead through a series of totally unrealistic horrific crimes with the police not getting back up from other area and the principles expected to pursue the gunman despite being personally involved with the victims.

Despite having enjoyed all the prior books in the series this was a waste of time and money.

Don't waste you time - Very Disappointing

This was another good story however the death and destruction was overwhelming. Be aware if you are sensitive.

Really violent.

I've read all of the books in this series and, overall, I've really enjoyed them. But, even from the prequel short story, the author wrote sections that I didn't like and considered irrelevant. In that prequel, it was all the stuff about the house they were building. Then, for the next several books, it was the grief Matilda had about her husband. Now, for Book 7, it's a story about a spree killer.
I, and apparently most other fans of this series, prefer books about individual murder cases and the twists and turns until the murderer is caught, not a story about a (apparently superhuman) spree killer.
Also, I found several situations in this book to be laughably unrealistic. An early prison scene intended to show how powerful the villian was, many actions by the police, and several actions of the spree killer would NEVER have gone that way in real life.
As always, the narrator was great.
I bought the next two books. I really hope they return to the earlier form.

What Was the Point?

Have loved all the books up to this one. However this story was hard to get through because of all the carnage! I read to escape-this story was too close to reality! I need a break before I continue with the rest unfortunately.

Depressing and Dark

To follow the continuum of the series, but that was one seriously troubling book. So much carnage. Just keep telling yourself it’s just a book. It’s just a book. It’s just a book.

I guess it’s necessary reading . . .

I've followed this series from the first book onward, got used to the recurring characters and generally enjoyed the books. Now that 90% of the characters
have all been killed off, I can't see the point in continuing the series! And there was just too much gore in this book - it was unpleasant and disturbing.

VERY disappointing.

OMG! The author must have been in a very dark place when he wrote this story. I had been enjoying this series and I am a huge crime drama fan but this was way over the top sick! I hope the next in the series is toned down because I'm not sure I can take another like this one. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

Very very dark

This was the saddest yet. Having read the series up to this point (obviously) I’ve become rather fond of the characters. This book was hard to listen to (not because it wasn’t well written) but, because of what happens. Oh, it broke my heart. The suspense, from start to finish kept me on the edge of my seat. Another masterpiece.

What can I say without giving it away?

I live in Denver and had a peripheral connection to both the Columbine and Aurora theater shooting. Had I known this book was about mass shootings, I wouldn't have picked it up. It brought back too many bad memories. Given the number of mass shootings happening almost every day, the book should have come with a warning.

WARNING: This book is about mass shootings
