Publisher's summary

Louise Penny says the Frieda Klein novels are "fabulous."

Joseph Finder says they're "in the rich vein of Kate Atkinson."

And Tami Hoag calls them "truly unique."

Now the final book in this extraordinary series is here. And it's an ending you'll never forget.

A decade ago, psychologist Frieda Klein was sucked into the orbit of Dean Reeve - a killer able to impersonate almost anyone, a man who can disappear without a trace, a psychopath obsessed with Frieda herself.

In the years since, Frieda has worked with - and sometimes against - the London police in solving their most baffling cases. But now she's in hiding, driven to isolation by Reeve. When a series of murders announces his return, Frieda must emerge from the shadows to confront her nemesis. And it's a showdown she might not survive.

Criminology student Lola Hayes has tracked Frieda down with a single-minded pursuit: she wants to delve inside the mind of a woman besieged by darkness. But in following every move Frieda makes, Lola is exposing herself to the same terrors - and the same twisted fixation of a diabolical psychopath.

This gripping cat-and-mouse thriller pits one of the most fascinating characters in contemporary fiction against an enemy like none other. Smart, sophisticated, and spellbinding, it's an audiobook that will leave you breathless.

Final installment

Sad to see this series end as I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series. This final installment is no exception. I will miss all of these characters and the authors wrapped up this final storyline beautifully.

Unbelievably Repetitive!

I love all of the Ninni French books , but this one was so repetitive, and unnecessarily dragged that truly tried my patience.
The Narration was excellent.

Good series, but tedious at the end with this book

I have enjoyed this series, but I have found the last two books to be a bit tedious and am struggling to finish this one. I do think it’s well written, and I would like to know how it ends, so I will persevere.

Yuk!

Complete waste of time and money. Stupid irritating characters with a narrator's voice perfectly matched

Excellent book

I like the way it ended--but I will miss these characters, since this is the last book in the series. I've read them all, and enjoyed almost every one. Was very happy to get the last two during the recent audible sale. Start with the first, and you'll enter a compelling series. Perfect narrator, well written.

Excellent ending for Frieda Klein

I wasn’t sure how this was going to turn out, but it was a fitting end to all Dr. Klein and her friends had gone through. I truly wanted to strangle one character… and it wasn’t Dean Reeve. Read it. It’s worth it.

An ending that doesn't disappoint

I wondered how this series could end. Answer: Perfectly. Reflection, insights, resolution. Optimism. All there
