I haven’t read Mr Quinn’s other series but now I think I must- I polished off The Listeners in two mad reading sittings- a beautifully described immersive setting and a great character to follow along with in Carla, who struggles with a home life balance in a realistic way.

Thrown into her first major case, a strange and difficult one, as unlikely confessions to murder start becoming reality. Carla uses a mix of practicality and instinct to guide her – often hindered rather than helped by her enigmatic and almost silent partner. It is a highly engaging plot with a haunting sense to the writing that is often genuinely creepy.

Pacy and clever, the story is a manipulative one involving manipulative people, with themes of mental health and hidden secrets. It has unexpected moments and thought provoking ones and a truly excellent finale with a classically done reveal.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Very glad this is the start to a new series. I shall be following.

The listeners by author Anthony J. Quinn is a creepy and thrill of a book. The characters are developed great and the plot is structured well. I would recommend this book. 
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an arc copy of The Listeners in exchange for an honest review.
