Audible proudly presents LET THE DEAD SLEEP, narrated by Gemma Whelan (star of The Tower).

Twenty-five years ago, a killer dubbed the Richmond Ripper terrorised London, claiming four victims before vanishing without a trace. For crime reporter Holly Sullivan, it wasn't just another cold case - it was personal. Her sister Annabel was the killer's final victim.

Now, with her mother dying, Holly is running out of time to deliver the answers she desperately craves. But as she digs deeper into the past, someone is watching, and when Holly is targeted, it becomes clear that the killer is back, and he doesn't want to be found.

Caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Holly can trust no one - because someone in her inner circle is hiding the darkest secret of all. The more questions Holly asks, the more danger she is putting herself, and those she loves, in. But this is one story Holly is determined to tell, no matter what the cost to her.

From publishing sensation Michael Wood comes another thriller about buried secrets, obsession, and the lengths we'll go to protect the ones we love, even from beyond the grave.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable listen with an engaging storyline and excellent narration. My only issue is with the female character’s *mostly* gratuitous blubbering.

Outstanding!

Usually I can take a guess on who the killer is when I read this genre, but with this novel, I truly didn’t know until the reveal. Very entertaining!

Excellent story

Interesting storyline that kept me guessing most of the way through. I really liked the main character and hope Wood would consider another book with her in it. Narration was also a great match.
