The Shadow People: Patel and Pardoe, Book 3

Written by Graham Masterton

Narrated by Shyla Mistry

Jerry Pardoe and Jamila Patel hunt down a ritualistic cult inspired by Neolithic cannibals in the new chilling horror from Graham Masterton.

Det. Sgt. Jamila Patel and Det. Con. Jerry Pardoe have reluctantly acquired a reputation in the Metropolitan Police for their ability to tackle bizarre and apparently supernatural crimes. Now they have been called back together after three bodies are found in a London basement... bodies which have been taken apart, roasted and eaten.

The markings on the wall suggest this might have been done by some kind of religious cult – and as more people are kidnapped and cannibalised, Patel and Pardoe realise they are dealing with a group of devil-worshippers invoking an ancient god who has not been worshipped since the Neolithic age...

Reviews for The Shadow People

[Collin Worley · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Wow this audiobook narrator wasn't the best choice for a horror. Her continuously perky tone and quaint Harry Potter accent has me feeling like I may be listening to a children's fantasy novel rather than a book about cannibals.

[RichardKevinWilson · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The first 60% of the book was so gory, and creepy as only Masterton can do......then it took a shit of a nose dive into stupidity. Cannot recommend this one at all. Skip it.
