Description
Exposing old lies can be deadly...
When a young father and well-liked sports coach is stabbed to death on his front doorstep in East London, D.I. Matthew Denning and D.S. Molly Fisher are quickly thrown into an investigation with no leads to follow...
And when the body of a respectable schoolteacher is discovered, the two murders mirroring each other, the case gets even more complex.
As the mystery unfolds, Denning and Fisher unearth a sinister connection between the victims. But the closer they get to the truth, the closer they come to the ruthless killer's crosshairs....
"Shame the Devil" is the fifth book in the D.I. Denning and D.S. Fisher series.
A gripping, twisty London-set detective novel that will thrill fans of Peter James, Robert Bryndza, and "Line of Duty".

When a young father is stabbed to death on the doorstep of his home, DI Matthew Denning and DS Molly Fisher are puzzled. The man seemed to have no enemies and Matthew believes the murder was a case of mistaken identity, that the killer meant to dispatch a nasty neighbor instead. Molly isn’t so sure, and her suspicions are proved correct when a young woman is killed in nearly identical circumstances. This is the 5th book featuring Denning and Fisher, but readers won’t have to have read the previous four to understand and enjoy this excellent British police procedural
I received an audiobook copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.
I’ve never read a book by Graeme Hampton, but I’ll definitely be searching out others after reading Shame the Devil.
Several seemingly random murders puzzle DI Matthew Denning and DS Molly Fisher, and trying to connect them take up a good portion of the first third of the book. Well plotted and interesting all the way through, I was definitely hooked and wanted to find out the conclusion. Absolutely recommend this cool series!
I very much enjoyed this police procedure crime tale. The characters were very believable and although I guessed the culprit a while before the end it still held my interest.
Never realised it was one in a series so obviously it really didn’t matter. I would certainly read/ listen to this author again.
The narrator had a great vocal range so very easy to work out who was ‘ speaking’.
