About this listen
Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac return in this “expertly paced and psychologically acute” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) thriller from Michael Robotham that’s “one of his best, suspenseful and hard to put down” (Stephen King).
Twenty years ago, Cyrus Haven survived a family massacre. The killer? His brother Elias.
Now Elias is applying for release from a secure psychiatric hospital—and Cyrus is expected to forgive and welcome him home. In this “brilliant novel” (The Globe and Mail, Toronto), Elias is returning to a very different world. Cyrus is now a successful psychologist, working with the police, sharing his house with Evie Cormac, a damaged and gifted teenager who can tell when someone is lying.
When a man is murdered and his daughter Maya Kirk disappears, Cyrus is called in to profile the killer and help piece together Maya’s last hours. Soon, a second victim is taken, and Evie is the only person who glimpsed the man behind the wheel. But there’s a problem. Only two people believe her. One is Cyrus.
The other is the killer.

Early one morning on the shore of the Thames, DCI Samuel Owusu is called to the scene of a gruesome discovery. When Owusu sends the evidence for examination, he learns the bones are connected to a cold case that left three people dead on the kitchen floor in a Chelsea mansion thirty years ago. Rachel Rimmer has also received a shock—her husband, Michael, has been found dead in the cellar of his house in France. All signs point to an intruder, and the French police need her to come urgently to answer questions about Michael and his past that she very much doesn’t want to answer.

Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Luther. He’s a murder detective with an extraordinary case clearance rate. He’s obsessive, instinctive, and intense. Nobody who ever stood at his side has a bad word to say about him. And yet there are rumors that Luther is bad - not corrupt, not on the take, but tormented. He seethes with a hidden fury that at times he can barely control. Sometimes it sends him to the brink of madness, making him do things he shouldn’t - things well beyond the limits of the law.

In 1995, six university students moved into the house at 215 Caldwell Street. Months later, one of them was found dead on the sofa the morning after their end-of-year party. His death was ruled an accident by the police. The remaining five all knew it wasn’t, and though they went on with their lives, the truth of what happened to their sixth housemate couldn’t stay buried forever. Twenty years later, all five of them arrive - lured separately under various pretenses - at Wolfheather House, a crumbling, secluded mansion on the Scottish isle of Doon.

I have enjoyed listening to each installment of this series- the voice of each character is well developed by the author and acted by the narrator. Now I’m just sad it’s already done because I couldn’t stop listening. Bravo to all.

Brilliant all around!
I am a big fan of the Cyrus and Eve series. this book was brilliant all around! Robotham makes us empathize with each of the characters, such wonderful storytelling. Narration by Joe Jameson was spot on, perfection for each character. I never take time to write full reviews, but had to on this one. I cannot wait for the next book!

Robotham the Reliable
I can always count on Mr Robotham to deliver great characters, and I really enjoy this eccentric pairing of Evie and Cyrus. Plot was okay. It’s probably just me but I’m sick to death of baby related stuff. On the other hand the addition of Cyrus’ dangerous schizophrenic brother was very interesting. Brought to mind a famous character in everyone’s favorite American novel, which would be a big spoiler if I named it. Overall satisfying. Looking forward to more from Evie and Cyrus. And remember: you can’t have the attic, and buttons are important.

The entire series is great!
I discovered this series on one of the Audible sales and am glad I did. Absolutely loved the first two with the third being just a little bit less loved due to the conclusion of the mystery surrounding Evy’s past. Definitely start with book 1 - it’s really a great listen in all aspects!
