‘DCI Matilda Darke is the perfect heroine’ Elly Griffiths

The third book in Michael Wood’s darkly compelling crime series featuring DCI Matilda Darke. Perfect for fans of Peter James, Lee Child and Karin Slaughter.

Eight killers. One house. And the almost perfect murder…

Starling House is home to some of the nation’s deadliest teenagers, still too young for prison.

When the latest arrival is found brutally murdered, DCI Matilda Darke and her team investigate, and discover a prison manager falling apart and a sabotaged security system. Neither the staff nor the inmates can be trusted.

The only person Matilda believes is innocent is facing prison for the rest of his life. With time running out, she must solve the unsolvable to save a young man from his fate, and find a murderer in a house full of killers…

Critic reviews

"You can count on Michael Wood to deliver a deliciously twisted and intriguing plot, leading to a surprise ending by a likeable and very real protagonist, Matilda Darke." (Yrsa Sigurdardottir)

"A pitch-black concept, tightly delivered and played at exhilarating pace." (Paul Finch)

another great mystery

There is no way to predict the who dunnit in this one.Suspense builds throughout. A great read.

DCI Dark keeps me hooked!

I really enjoyed the twists and turns in this book. DCI Dark is so relatable. I really enjoyed the book.

Excellent series

I am really enjoying this series. The characters are well developed and varied. Can’t wait for another installment.

STILL GOING STRONG

Story not quite as good as Wood’s previous two audiobooks, but still well-written and enjoyable. Same great narrator. Recommend a listen.

Another great Matilda Darke!

I just wish we would stop hearing about Carl. Solve it or stop mentioning him over and over again. Also the James situation.
