Know No Evil

During a relentless heatwave, London DI Matthew Denning lands the murder of a young woman found butchered in a public park. It turns out the woman had some dangerous friends, could they be the reason for her demise? But then a second woman is found dead in almost identical circumstances. But it’s DS Molly Smith who makes the connection to the Bermondsey Ripper, a serial killer last active ten years before. A man was caught and convicted of those crimes, he’s still in jail. So did the police get the wrong man the first time around or do they have a copycat on their hands? The first in a new series and so good I can’t wait until the next one is released. Molly and Matthew play off each other perfectly.

I started listening to this book on a very hot, sweaty day and the book only made me feel hotter (with anticipation I hasten to add) a good police procedural with twists and turns, I liked the characters and the story flowed really well and I am not really a listener of books with the police leading the tale, good narration albeit took me a while to get used to the cadence

For any fans of British crime this book is right up your street, DI Denning and seconded DS Fisher become the modern day Sweeney to solve the case of a serial killer loose in London. Gripping from start to finish with the usual twist and turns this book kept me happily hooked on every word. Maybe the start of a new series? The characters and settings were well thought out and explained well through the story line. Thank you #NetGalley for the audiobook to review.

I received this audiobook from the publishers via Netgalley for a review. A good solid thriller well paced. A good job by the narrator thoughly enjoyed it.

The first in an absorbing police procedural series featuring D.I. Denning and D.S. Fisher. Graeme Hampton’s debut novel is well crafted, filled with suspense and intriguing throughout. The characters are authentic, have interesting back stories and their development is fueled by conversations and interactions that feel appropriate to the situation. This is a fast paced, character driven novel that uses clever clues and twisty sub plots to maintain an ongoing feeling of suspense. I enjoyed it immensely and would easily recommend it.

A great start to a new series. DI Matt Denning is investigating the murder of a young woman who’s body was found in a park in East London. New to the team he is learning to deal with his colleagues whilst trying to solve the crime. DS Molly Fisher is desperate to work in the major investigation team and has some ideas of her own regarding the murderer. I am looking forward to seeing how the characters develop in the next book.

Really interesting story.
The story kept my interest the whole way through. Definitely a series I want to continue with so I went over the audible and brought the rest of them.

I started this book thinking it would be a run of the mill police procedural but boy was I wrong
There is something going on in each chapter and you won't predict the end and the office has its share of misfits
It starts a bit slow but this is laying the foundation of a good story
Thanks to netgalley for giving me a copy of the book for an honest review well worth reading

Well what can I say - I was gripped from the start have been listening to this everywhere. The story line was brilliant, the narration was world class - loved the Essex voice, and the partnership. Did some investigation and it looked like the partnership is going to continue.

It was amazing never listened to this narrator or read this author and now will be in the future.

I was given a copy by netgalley and the publishers but this in no way influenced my review.

I thought this was brilliant. I don't normally go for this type of book, but I really enjoyed it. I have a bad habit of guessing early on who the killer etc is in books, and I was right this time, but thats not to say the story was in any way predictable.
Character development was great, though I did have a few unanswered questions about Denning, but probably just me. I could picture all the characters in my head, but Molly was a bit of a mystery to me, felt her appearance could have been a bit more built upon.

The investigation; perfect. I felt like I was following every step, If Graeme Hampton isn't/wasn't an ex copper, he's definitely done his research into investigation techniques etc.

The book was very well read. The narrator, very easy to understand and found her voice quite engaging.

Brilliant, very much recommended.
