The Death of Justice

DI Bliss, Book 5

By: Tony J. Forder

Narrated by: Greg Wagland

The stunning DI Bliss series are fast-paced police thrillers which will appeal to fans of authors like Michael Connely, Joy Ellis, Faith Martin, Robert Bryndza and Angela Marsons.

One night. Two shootings. Two victims. When DI Bliss arrives at the scene of the second murder, he recognises the same three-shot pattern as the first. But there is one major difference: the second victim has been decapitated, the head nowhere to be found. When a second headless corpse is discovered the following day, Bliss and his team realise the killer is on a spree - and he’s not done yet. There are four more headless victims, and the police believe they know why. Not only that, they are also convinced that more potential victims are on the killer’s list. In a race against time to save further loss of life, Bliss and his team have no choice but to put their own lives at risk. But will everyone survive?

Critic reviews

"I would urge you to buy this book - there’s something special about it, and it’s a full five stars from me." (Anita Waller)

Stunning Suspense Tears At Heartstrings

Superb narration of great new addition to Bliss series. Not for the squeamish. Truly evil villains. Complicated plot. Hideous murders. Fast pace. Wrenching heartbreak. Strong relationships among the police squad members. Wept at ending. Unforgettable. Touch of poetic justice. An unusually compelling listen.

DI Bliss

Great DI Bliss novel as always. Greg Wagland is excellent st beinging the characters to life.

Pretty good.

I was struggling to find my next mystery/thriller book, and thought that this one was pretty good. However, this narrator may be excellent in some ways, but he sounds lethargic when he's narrating. I.e., I won't listen to another book that is narrated by him.
Audible, it is so important that you find great narrators, for great stories. I came across several that I would have purchased, before I chose this one, but then didn't because I didn't like the narrator. I know that I'm not the only one.

Unlikeable protagonist. Women in the series not well written.

I struggled with this series and have finally reached the point of no return. I think we are supposed to like DI Bliss, or at least sympathize with him, but I simply hate the character. And, the women in this series are just canon fodder. I couldn’t bring myself to finish either this book or the previous one. Therefore, this is where I get off.
