Our Listen of the Month for July is The Shadow Step by Mark Billingham, the latest instalment in the Detective Miller series. Packed with sharp humour, memorable characters and a twisting mystery, it’s an audiobook that crime fans won’t want to miss.

When a body is found in circumstances that make little sense and an apparently innocent man confesses, DS Declan Miller is drawn into one of his strangest investigations yet. As the case spirals into kidnapping, murder and criminal intrigue, Miller must untangle a web of clues before time runs out.

Narrated by David Threlfall, the audiobook perfectly captures Billingham’s trademark blend of suspense and wit, bringing the characters and fast-paced story vividly to life.
