This was my first audiobook by this author, it was a good story which kept me interested. I liked the narrators voice, it was clear with a nice easy to listen to accent.

Forensic Psychologist Jo McCready investigates an old case and discovers some alarming new evidence. An absorbing tale.

I really enjoyed The Murder Mile, which I listened to last year, but this second book in the series is even better. Once again Jo McCready is called in to help the police after a series of seemingly unconnected events. It is well written and cleverly plotted though at times it felt a little far fetched. So imagine my shock/horror when I listened to the author's notes at the end of the book where she explained that those parts of the story are based on real life psychological experiments! Can't wait for book 3 in the series!

The audiobook was brilliantly narrated by Clare Corbett.

This was a very high 4 for me, though I found the way it all escalated towards the end a bit far fetched and Callum's habit of "raking his ringers through his hair" started to get on my nerves after the tenth time of mentioning it! The psychological insights were really interesting and I found the way it all tied together really clever. The narrator in the audio-book was excellent. As this is the second book in the series, I am now compelled and go and seek out the first and am already looking forward to the publication of the third.

Loved it - great cast of characters intermingling in the deceit of the plot. Well scripted and very entertaining and enjoyed the final scenes. Get it

This was a promising start I was enjoying the story but as it progressed and got more about the previous story from the first book I started to lose interest as I haven't read the first one so didn't feel invested in these charecters or storyline.
May enjoy this more after reading the first one.

Dr. Jo McCready is a Forensic Psychologist available for private hire in the region of West Yorkshire. Charles Fielding, a haughty man from old money contacts her to look into the cold case surrounding the death of this son Leo under what he believes are suspicious circumstances in his penthouse apartment.

Jo is portrayed in a similar way to many Forensic Profilers in popular fiction, in that she is able to get into the mindset of the killer, to think like them so she can work our how and why they committed their crimes. That being said, although it did have a few cliches I still very much enjoyed it. There are some funny quips and insights and I found the character of Jo McCready down to earth and relatable. The storyline was engaging and I was kept guessing the whole time, a solid thriller.



The narrator was great giving emotion and emphasis in all the right places, making it easy to distinguish characters.

Complex Plot, Cleverly Formulated…
The well narrated audiobook version of the anticipated second in the Murder in Yorkshire series featuring Dr Jo McCready and another puzzling case for the forensic psychologist. With an immersive storyline and a credible cast this is a compelling and compulsive listen. Narration is expertly nuanced, appropriate and well done throughout. The plot is complex and cleverly formulated with twists and turns aplenty and laced with a mounting tension. A worthy follow up to the first in this series and provides even more anticipation for the next.

This as an audiobook was one you had to keep your attention on all the time. I found to my peril that with so many characters if I wasn’t concentrating during my dog walking listening time I soon lost the plot, literally.
That said it is worth the listen as it’s a clever tale well told.

The Killing Song is the second book in Lesley McEvoy's gripping and unnerving series featuring Forensic Psychologist Jo McCready.

McCready has physically survived the brutal ordeal of the previous instalment, but mentally she remains deeply shaken. The press intrusion has forced her to stop seeing private patients but she continues to assist the police in working out the psychology of crime scenes and providing expert testimony.

Bombarded with calls from a grieving father, McCready finally agrees to meet him to convince him that she cannot help. But there is something about the crime scene that bothers McCready, and bizarrely could somehow be linked to an apparent terrorist attack at the railway station.

This kept me company for a good few miles walking, it was always interesting enough to want to get back to.
Characters with enough back story to want yo get to know them more, and a few plot threads that I wondered if they did or ever would tie together.
Although at times it felt like a lot of characters (especially as I haven't read the first book) they were distinctive enough not yo get them muddled.
An enjoyable listen.
