The Mermaids Singing Audiobook

" I loved this book even more than the series, Blood in the Wire. Highly recommend. "

" I would give this 3.5 stars. Very good murder/mystery/thriller.....not for the squeamish. Serial killer who uses ancient torture devices on young men. While the subject matter was at times disturbing, the characters really drew me in and I was interested and a bit surprised. I finally quit trying to figure it out and just went with the story. I needed a fast-paced read after some slow burners this summer. I will definitely check out the next in the series....as I enjoyed the setting and characters. "

" This was a good book. I liked the interaction between Tony Hill and Carol Jordan. The story was a good mystery and I will read the next installment in this series. "

" Any of the Tony Hill novels I find hugely fascinating,love the character and all his complexities. Problem I have is that I cannot help but visualise the cast of the TV series when I read these,but that isn't such a bad thing.... "

" I really enjoyed this book. Interesting characters. I think I'm officially a Val McDermid fan...next! "

" Loved this book - couldn't put it down! "

" Holy violence batman. The first Dr Tony Hill novel - the man who is attempting to bring profiling to England's police forces. "

" If you like mysteries, this is good, but not for weak stomachs! "

" I couldn't put this book down. I don't know if its because I'm a huge fan of the TV Show or because this is a very interesting book with relatable characters... maybe both. if you happen to like serial killer books pick this up, you wont be dissapointed. "

" A little dated now in that the police don't seem to have mobile phones yet, but a great story which kept me guessing to the end. Rather gory and not for the faint hearted. "

" I love this series which has led to the highly successful tv sweries . "

" Fantastic and nail-biting "

" A quick read, well-written although not so keen on the graphic violence. "

" A very eerie thriller from one of Britain's top suspense writers. This is part of the Tony Hill/Carol Jordan series by the author which was made into an excellent television series on BBC. "

" "Good, complex plot with many interesting characters. Detailed, rich prose. Dr. Tony is a bit strange, the whole phone call thing. And I didn't feel like the detection process led to solving the crime quite as much as hoped. But overall, a great crime novel worth reading." "

" Very good plot well written "

" I'm not so sure about Tony Hill, but I love the character of Carol Jordan. Tony Hill is too connected to the killer, I guess thats the point. Poor Carol, she needs to place her affections elsewhere but I doubt she will. "

" The first Dr Hill and Carol Jordan book. A real treat to go back and fill in the missing hole. A well crafted story that was quite graphic and hard to read at times. The last 100 pages flew past, even though long before the "twist" was revealed it was clear that Tony was a target. Awesome book. "

" Grisly, but otherwise uninteresting. "

" Good read. The first Tony Jordan book. I prefer the later books in the series, as the characters develop. Rather glad Tony is impotent. We find out about it in this book. I don't want the leads to do anything but go after serial killers. "
