Resumen del Editor

You can run. You can hide. But you can't escape…

Jonathan Hale is terrified. The wealthy property lawyer and money launderer is back home in Surrey after a nightmare experience in a U.S. jail. The police have him under secret surveillance.

But Hales's fears lie elsewhere. His plea bargain has earned him the enmity of The Reptile, a notoriously cold-hearted gangster, now confined for life in a maximum-security jail in Arizona thanks to Hale. He's taken precautions, moved house, hidden his identity and installed security for his wife and family. But still… what if The Reptile escapes?

For DCI Gillard it should be just another week at work. But before long he is involved in a desperate manhunt that will test him to his very limits.

Be prepared.

Strap yourself in for an intense and unforgettable crime thriller that won't let go, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Cara Hunter and Mark Billingham.

Another great Nick Louth nail biter!

I admit, I was worried at first that the villain/murderer was a bit too much for me, but in true Nick Louth fashion, he went only so far, but not TOO far!

Nick Louth’s style

I really enjoy these books. I’ve read them all and enjoyed his style of a thriller.

Not as up to the usual…

This one ended up well, but the horrendous American accents were tough to get through. It sounds as if the reader got all his examples from 1950’s westerns— terrible job. However, we we did get more DCI Gillard, he was the hero we expected.

That Was Different

Great storyline a little scary with social media & teenager girls, had you hanging on every word towards the end. Narration was fantastic as usual.

Exciting and beautifully narrated

A very exciting and edge of your seat story! Absolutely love Marston York’s reading of these books. He is exceptionally skilled and talented. Truly equal to the writer’s skills.

Excellent

Many of the reviewers complained that there wasn't enough of Craig in the story. It's true, and we all love Gillard, but all of the other characters were so well fleshed out, that it kept you wanting to see what was going to happen to them. I really enjoyed it , and look forward to the next.

hurry up and write the next!

Great story line, excellent narration. Sadly at the end of the Craig Gillard series.....😭 Looking forward to the next installment.

Very tense, scary, frightening and unable to stop listening.

I’ve listened to all of the Gillard books and I enjoyed every minute. The only character I didn’t like was Sam - but that was more the tone of her “voice” rather than her character.

The tense ending is worth waiting for

A somewhat slow start to set the scene, a good warning to parents about the dangers of social media lead to a very fast paced and well constructed finale. I had to listen to the last few chapters without a break, it was too thrilling to stop.

Very good

After the previous book I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue with this series. But THE BODY IN THE STAIRWELL was a return to the excellence of the earlier books and it was wonderful. A kept-me-up-way-too-late-reading kind of book. I just loved Lucy.

The narration was well done.
