About this audiobook
“A gritty, noirish crossbreed of Blade Runner and L.A. Confidential. . . . An intelligent, finely crafted mystery, a speculative thriller that brilliantly channels the anxieties of our time.” — New York Times Book Review
For fans of Terry Hayes and Daniel Silva, this chilling, high-concept thriller from Jonathan Freedland, journalist and bestselling author of The Escape Artist, features a female reporter fighting to avenge her sister’s murder. . . and save her own life.
Journalist Madison Webb is obsessed with exposing lies and corruption. But she never thought she’d be investigating her own sister’s murder. Madison refuses to accept the official line that Abigail’s death was an isolated crime. She uncovers evidence that suggests her sister was the third victim in a series of killings hushed up as part of a major conspiracy.
In a United States that now bows before the People’s Republic of China, corruption is rife. She can’t trust the police, and the authorities dictate what the “truth” is. With her life on the line, Madison must give up her quest for justice—or face the consequences. . .

Reviews for The 3rd Woman

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Picked this up on a book swapping website and did not expect too much from it, especially as I am one of the few people in this world never to have seen a James Bond film. When the hefty 600-page tome dropped through the letterbox I assumed that it would be the kind-of-thing that would still be sitting in the "To Be Read" pile for many years to come. But, after randomly picking it up one day, I'm glad I did.What it contained was a hugely entertaining thriller that just provides enough information at a time to keep you asking questions without giving it all away. Add to this nice short sections that make it easy to put-down and pick-back-up again make this an extremely enjoyable.Only complaint was that I sometimes lost track of some of the characters and would have to go flicking back to try and see the name again. Not a big issue, as Mark Burnell neatly wraps up any loose ends and ensures that the characters appear just often enough to keep them in-the-loop.Mark Burnell may never be regarded as the next Shakespere, but he can certainly write a good "just one more page" novel. Go on, give it a go
