Only picked this as I stumbled across it in plus catalogue, so glad I did. This was a surprising gem given the plus catalogue can be a bit m'eh! Great story, great tension over what was actually Zachary's fate: Was he Jonathan's Seventh Victim or was someone else responsible?
Clearly well researched to give 3D aspect to the characters. The story was well told from the different perspectives and the two narrators did a great job of bringing it to life. Joanne Froggart showed a wide range of voices, including male characters and Mathew was particularly menacing as Jonathan. Will definitely either be listening to or reading more from this author.

This might just be one of the best books I've ever read, or rather listened, to. Now I have listened to the book I think I'll be buying the paperback. Some topics such as abuse/child abuse are mentioned within the book, and whilst there's not much in-depth detail, it was quite difficult to listen to at times so I'd recommend checking the trigger warnings!! This book really is a masterpiece and I'm pleased with myself for figuring out the ending before it was confirmed. I can't recommend this enough - suspenseful, 'what happened' vibes and it really does keep you guessing and on your toes the whole time!
