About This Audiobook
A woman is found frozen to the road outside her South London home, her body marked by a detail that links her death to a series of recent assaults in the same quiet suburb: the attacker was dressed in black and wearing a gas mask. Detective Erika Foster takes the case despite the personal fragility she is carrying from her previous investigation, and the more she digs into the victim's life, the more she finds that quiet suburban facades conceal elaborate and desperate secrets. Deadly Secrets is the sixth Erika Foster novel, and one of the most claustrophobically intense.
Jan Cramer delivers another strong performance as Erika, navigating the character's forced confrontation with her own past alongside the demands of an active murder investigation. Her narration gives the South London setting a particularized reality, and the psychological pressure of the killer's methodology, methodical, theatrical, close to home, comes through with considerable force. At under nine hours, Deadly Secrets is one of the tighter entries in the series.
