Story4.5 out of 5 stars 14
Midlands police chase a serial killer who inflicts death by the new urban weapon of choice. Given the targets seem enveloped in love affairs and deceitful liaisons, Chief Inspector Gavin Roscoe suspects a motive of jealousy and revenge. But as the number of victims increases, the connection between them wears thin. Is it really a broken heart holding the crossbow? And if it's not some crazed Cupid, who has their finger on the trigger? Plucky Detective Sergeant Sunita Roy doesn't think they are looking in the right places. Yet without evidence, her theory won't hold water.

Michael Brady was a high-flying detective, working on a high-profile case. And much too close to the truth. Someone arranged a hit-and-run. But they missed Brady. And hit his wife. And after six months sitting by her bed, he took the only decision he could take. He turned the machine off. Now he's back home in Whitby. Trying to rebuild his life. And be a good dad to his teenage daughter. But when his best friend is murdered Brady–unwillingly at first–is drawn into the investigation.

Excellent Book
Reviewed: 29-09-24
We received this as a complimentary book. So often these are not worth listening to. This was the opposite. The book was easy to listen to as the narration was excellent. The story only gets stars but don't let you be put off by that. I have now purchased the authors second book and am busy enjoying it. You need to start with this book as the charectors follow on.

As the first anniversary of the formation of the Kings Lake murder squad approaches, there is a problem—they've run out of murders. As a result, they are given the task of reviewing unsolved cold cases. One of these comes back to life in unexpected ways as the team try to discover the identity of the young woman whose body was found in the Norfolk countryside two decades ago. And even if they can give her a name, how can they possibly find her killer after so many years?

The story was brought to life by the different narrators You could actually feel the different emotions. The first thing we do after listening to the first in the series was to download the second.

I think the Author is really good at creating many twist and turns The characters are Brough to life with the excellent narration.
The story includes the the personal trial of the investigator and the others in the investigation. So much to enjoy, even though the foreign names are a bit of a challenge for me to remember. I definitely will be checking to buy another by this author

We so like the narrator Sean Barrett and this was one reason I chose this book. The plot seemed to go back and forth too many times and at times it was a touch confusing. The story is not that wonderful.

The story is fast paced and the narrator (Jack Reacher) is just perfect for this book. The story is all about the death of a brother and some girls. The plot includes all detectives from different counties. The previous book was a bit too gruesome but this was just right.
