Storm Child
(OverDrive Listen)
Description
The mystery of Evie Cormac's background has followed her into adulthood. As a child, she was discovered hiding in a secret room where a man had been tortured to death. Many of her captors and abusers escaped justice, unseen but not forgotten. Now, on a hot summer's day, the past drags Evie back as she watches the bodies of seventeen migrants wash up on a Lincolnshire beach.
There is only one survivor, a teenage boy, who tells police their small boat was deliberately rammed and sunk. Psychologist Cyrus Haven is recruited by the police to investigate the murders—but recognizes immediately that Evie has some link to the tragedy. By solving this crime, he could finally unlock the secrets of her past. But what dark forces will he set loose? And who will pay the price?
"Readers who fell for teenager Evie in Robotham's earlier novels will welcome her return. Robotham's prose gleams [and] the finale is satisfactorily bloody" (Booklist).

May 13, 2024
Robotham’s stirring fourth mystery featuring forensic psychologist Haven (after Lying Beside You) is the best yet. Four years earlier, Haven was called in to interview teenager Evie Cormac, whom Nottinghamshire police had found hiding in a house with the corpse of a murdered man. After Haven learned that Evie was trafficked into the U.K. from Albania, he informally adopted her, and now occasionally leans on her skills as a human lie detector to help him crack cases. During a visit to the beach one afternoon, Haven and Evie witness the bodies of 17 migrants wash ashore. Most are dead, but the lone survivor suggests that their boat was deliberately rammed. The incident sends Evie into shock, rendering her unable to speak or move, and Haven wonders if the tragedy might somehow be connected to her past. Seeking answers, Haven learns of a master criminal called “the Ferryman,” a trafficker one of his National Crime Agency contacts calls “a Keyser Söze or a Lex Luthor or a Moriarty.” Soon, Haven discovers that the Ferryman is even more powerful than the rumors suggest. Robotham adds moving new dimensions to the dynamic between his well-developed leads, and shrewdly connects the central mystery to Evie’s backstory. This series continues to impress. Agent: Richard Pine, InkWell Management.

- content: Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac are back in this psychological thriller, which allows narrator Joe Jameson to shine. Haven, a psychologist, and Evie, a troubled young woman in his care, find themselves getting closer to solving the mystery of Evie's past. Jameson brings everything to life with his animated narration. While it is basic for a narrator to be able to switch between male and female voices, no one does it better than Jameson. Haven has a deep, calm tone while Evie's is clipped, often annoyed, and slightly higher. In addition, several characters--many Scottish--come and go, and Jameson handles them all by creating distinct voices. The author does a nice job with the protagonists as Jameson elevates the story with a vivid narration. M.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
