Summary
A DI Ryan Wilkins mystery.
A four-year-old girl goes missing in plain sight outside her nursery in Oxford, a middle-class, affluent area, her mother only a stones-throw away.
Ryan Wilkins, one of the youngest ever detective inspectors in the Thames Valley force, dishonourably discharged three months ago, watches his former partner DI Ray Wilkins deliver a press conference, confirming a lead.
Ray begins to delve deeper, unearthing an underground network of dark forces in the local area. But will he be able to get closer to the truth of the disappearance? And will Ryan be able to stay away?

Great characters, good story and a brilliant narration
I must say I wasn’t convinced when I read the blurb on the first book: 2 DIs with similar names, hmmm, I thought. But what a lovely surprise the author gave me! The 2 DIs are fantastic, the differences between them marked making it interesting listening. The second book didn’t disappoint either and I can’t wait for the next one in the series. Brilliant narration too.

Characters
Interesting characters, unpleasant story line. Excellent narration. Reminded me a bit of Scottish character Hoon but not as humouress.

Excellent narrator
The narrator, Matt Addis makes this story come alive, it is like listening to a play. The story was good too but it is the narration that makes it an excellent listen. I can’t wait to listen to Matt Addis again.

Excellent narrator
Loved this book. Mason has written two hugely interesting characters and the plot's twists and turns and eventual denouement are compelling and very satisfying.
And a big cheer for narrator, Matt Addis, who is excellent.

Unorthodox but great
I struggled with DI Ryan Wilkins in the first book although I enjoyed the story. Excellent narration again and I thought it was better than the first book.
