Summary
On New Year’s Day, a wealthy family is found slaughtered inside their exclusive gated community in north London, their youngest child stolen away. The murder weapon is a gun for stunning cattle, leading Detective Max Wolfe to a dusty corner of Scotland Yard’s Black Museum devoted to a killer who thirty years ago was known as the Slaughter Man. But the Slaughter Man is now old and dying. Can he really be back in the game?

Brilliant!
Many places this book is hard to listen to, it's deep, scary, shocking, and some of the violence is quite graphic, the research the writer has done is incredible
Don't expect a light-hearted, they all lived happily ever after thriller, it's not that
Listened to 40 books this year and this ranks number 2

Second outing for Max Wolfe
Another enjoyable story from Tony Parsons.
Max Wolfe's team investigate the brutal murders of a family with what seems to be an ideal life style.
Through a series of unfolding events they track the murders down.. or do they?
I enjoyed this book and wait to see how the character develops in future additions to this series.

Fabulous & heart wrenching
I loved this book. I loved it honesty and its tackling of some hard hitting topics. It's tough, it's truthful and its totally gripping. I love Max Wolf. I hope to see him again. He's tough & gentle, intuitive & kind. I love his relationship with his small daughter. Read it, you'll not be disappointed.

Started well and then ....
I enjoyed the first third of the book and then it just went for a story that could build and take the reader on great journey to something that was random facts and information with a storyline that more and more unbelievable. Enjoyed a previous book but this seems like a desperate effort to push something out for the sake of it.

Gripping from the outset
This was a great, twisted and sinister whodunit. The cockney narration added flavour.
I found the playback speed was hard to fix. I think that the original recording has been sped up. You can only halve the speed in the app, which was then too slow.

Loved it!
This is the second DI Max Wolfe book which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Love the narrator he seems to get the character spot on.
This is unashamedly good v bad a good detective story perhaps not for the faint hearted.
A well to do family are slaughtered in their home and the only survivor a young child is abducted.
Thereafter DI Wolfe is on the case. We are gradually learning wee snippets of his personal life and it leaves you wanting more.
Love this series - next one please.

Good story - just a few issues with the procedures
I do like Tony Parson, I do like his characters and don't get me wrong, it's a good story but every now and then I found myself saying, what? what? what policemen would charge in there on his own? What detective would take a key clue off to show a witness before bagging tagging and printing it? I'm not a big fan of police procedurals, but there are limits. Perhaps just a bit more of an edit before publishing?
