Summary

When will the voices stop? The murder of professional astrologer Andrew Gorman seems a straightforward case for DCI Kenny Murrain – a tragic death resulting from an interrupted burglary. But when Gareth Clayburn, assistant to stage medium Justin Bannerman, is found dead in identical circumstances, Murrain begins to suspect the murders are linked. Meanwhile, Geoff Nolan, television personality and professor of psychology, is developing a new series exploring the psychology of the paranormal. Starting with Bannerman's work as a supposed spiritualist. When Murrain receives an unexpected approach from the security services, he realizes that the links between the killings lie deep in Murrain's own past and his own paranormal gifts. After days of rain and with floodwaters rising. Murrain finds himself in a race against time to prevent further deaths. In a shattering climax at Nolan's riverside home, Murrain finally comes face to face with an adversary who shares his remarkable gifts, as the book races to its dramatic and potentially tragic climax.

"A talent to be reckoned with … A strong story line, muscular prose and a real sense of pace…a police procedural for a new age" - DAILY MAIL

Clichés galore

Couldn’t stomach the cliches, though they did become comical entertainment on their own after the first half hour: is this fiction written by predictive text? Anyway, it’s Daily Mail echo chamber writing, with little wit or interest. Very boring (bored?) narrator, too. Waste of a credit.

What a ridiculous tale!

Very slow narrator with gaps between words that couldn’t be altered by speeding up the narration. Whilst the concept of a cop with psychic powers isn’t new this is just ridiculous. Kept waiting for something to happen apart from a lot of wool gathering over relationships, the past, melancholy and trying to pad out the story. When the final chapters came the story had become so outlandish I couldn’t wait for it to end - and then more misery again.
