The Murder Mile

By: Lesley McEvoy

Narrated by: Anna Cordell

The Murder Mile is Lesley McEvoy's unmissable debut. A suspenseful mystery thriller, it will appeal to fans of Kathy Reichs, Teresa Driscoll, Cara Hunter and D. S. Butler.

Jo was the last person to see Martha Scott alive. She was helping Martha unlock a repressed memory. But during the session, Jo unlocked more than she bargained for. An alter personality introduced himself as the reincarnation of Jack the Ripper - and thanked Jo for setting him free to kill again.

As Ferguson’s team race to find Martha’s killer, a series of copycat killings begin, replicating ‘The Autumn of Terror’ in 1888. But if Jack is just a figment of Martha’s damaged mind, who killed her?

As the body count rises, Jo must construct a profile to stop the murderer re-creating the terror of the most infamous serial killer of all time. And as the anniversary of the final and most gruesome of all the killings looms, Jo discovers that the killer has one murder on his mind that is far closer to home....

Not a bad listen

Enjoyed the narrator and (most of) the storyline, found some parts to be predictable but I also listen to a lot of mystery/thrillers so I may just be running out of ways to be surprised. Story was a fun listen while working, will listen to more of the series.

Nice twist

Ripper fans will love it!

I’ve read a lot of spins on Jack the Ripper. This adds in the Yorkshire ripper and gives it a nice twist. No it didn’t fool me, but that didn’t matter.

I listened straight through.

was a very easy listen and a bit of a "guilty" read.

It was a bit of an easy give away and obvious "who did it" .

I loved the British accents.

It was a really good story and was told very well. I just started using Audible and this is the second book I read, but the first book I haven't read before. I really enjoyed it, it allows me to read without hurting my eyes.
