Synopsis:

Can you hear it?

A professor of psychoacoustics is found dead in his office. It appears to be a heart attack, until a second acoustician dies a few days later in similar circumstances.

Meanwhile, there’s an outbreak of mysterious illnesses on a council estate, and outbursts of unexplained violence in a city centre nightclub. Not to mention strange noises coming from the tunnels underneath Liverpool. Can it really be a coincidence that death metal band Total Depravity are back in the city, waging their own form of sonic warfare?

Detective Inspector Darren Swift is convinced there are connections. Still grieving his fiancé’s death and sworn to revenge, he is thrown back into action on the trail of a murderer with a terrifying and undetectable weapon.

But this case cannot be solved using conventional detective work, and D.I. Swift will need to put the rulebook aside and seek the occult expertise of Dr. Helen Hope and her unlikely sidekick, guitarist Mikko Kristensen.

Review:

Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources and Catherine Fearns for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Sound is the third and final book in the Reprobation trilogy. Where Sound is part of a trilogy I do recommend reading book 2 Consuming Fire before reading this one because it'll help you better understand some things. You don't necessarily have to read book 1, Reprobation, to understand the last two books, but I recommend reading it anyways just because it's good.

I really enjoyed the plot of this book. I was, once again, intrigued by how the author was able to weave such an interesting, dark tale. I became so enthralled with Consuming Fire and Sound that I finished them both in under 24 hours. It was a really good end to a really good series.

If you are looking for a dark murder mystery that is far from average I'd recommend giving this one a try. Actually, I just recommend the whole series.
