Widely recognized as one of our finest crime writers, with numerous accolades and legions of devoted fans worldwide, internationally best-selling author Val McDermid is back with the latest installment in her series featuring psychologist Tony Hill and former police detective Carol Jordan. In Insidious Intent, Tony and Carol are on the hunt for a serial killer who victimizes women at weddings without a date - and forces the duo to confront their most haunting moral dilemma so far.

In the north of England, single women are beginning to disappear from weddings. A pattern soon becomes clear: Someone is crashing the festivities and luring the women away - only to leave the victims' bodies in their own burned-out cars in remote locations. Tony and Carol are called upon to investigate - but this may be the toughest case they've ever had to face. Meanwhile, Detective Sergeant Paula McIntyre and her partner Elinor must deal with a cruel cyber-blackmailer targeting their teenage ward, Torin.

Impeccably plotted and intensely gripping, Insidious Intent reaffirms Val McDermid's place as Britain's reigning Queen of Crime.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Saul Reichlin delivers the tenth title in Val McDermid's riveting crime series. His charming British accent and clarity ensure that all the suspense of this fast-paced mystery is easy to follow for both fans and newcomers alike.... The result is a home run by the McDermid/Reichlin team with an ending that knocks it out of the park! Don't miss it." (AudioFile)

No

If you’ve listened to books by Val McDermid before, how does this one compare?

Not my favorite - but I think that was down to the narrator more than the story itself

How could the performance have been better?

A different narrator -

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes

Disappointed

Stacy has never been an immigrant before so it was a bit awkward to hear her as such. And it really changed her personality. But! That’s part of audio books right?
The story was great and a good ending!!!

Loved it. Agree with Stacy being problematic performance

For those like me, who have been following Carol and Tony's adventures over the last handful of years, this book represents a wonderful conclusion to a few plot strands that have been quietly germinating in the background, whilst introducing some real game changers. Always fresh and inventive, the Author returns to bradfield to find older, more seasoned secondary characters, a compelling villain and of course detective fictions greatest (nearly) love affair. May there be many more.

Excellent Return of Hill and Jordan.

I’m only part way through but the narrator is driving me crazy. Why has he given Stacy a cliched Chinese accent!?! Presumably it’s because her last name is Chen, but she’s British for god’s sake! Just listening makes me feel mortified.

Good story cringy narrator
