Summary
Would you forgive your child anything?
The murder of a young girl found barefoot in a country park and the re-emergence of shoes from the victims of a serial killer from over 40 years ago. A coincidence or a connection?
Will Blake is determined to find out, but as he unearths the past, questions are raised about the original investigations, and it becomes clear that The Wirral has a killer on the loose, once again.
Victor Hunt, father of Drucilla, the last victim back in the '80s, lies in a hospice, with weeks to live. The truth lies hidden in Hunt’s tangled family tree and the actions of his wayward daughter. Time is against Blake and his fractious team. If they don’t get to the root of past crimes, then innocent blood will flow again.
A Poison Tree is the first thrilling mystery in the Will Blake crime series. A great listen for fans of Luca Veste's DI Murphy and JD Kirk’s Jack Logan series.
Discover A Poison Tree and get involved in this exciting investigative series today.

Failed to keep my attention
It was ok. For me the ending was so contrived it failed to keep me in the story and I kept forgetting I was listening to it.

Dreadful narrator
Okay. I am a southern lass and sometimes cannot get to grips with a northern accent (and would guess that goes for northerners too) but I really could not cope with Mr Welsh. Was not just the accent but the terrible tones for female characters and the lack of any changes for the male cast that had me heading for the pause button. I think this book might be quite good but needs to be read and not listened to......at least, that's my opinion.

Excellent whodunnit.
Thoroughly enjoyed A Poison Tree.
Plenty of red herrings keep you guessing to the end.

Not credible
Completely unbelievable plot of revenge. The character of DCI Blake was quite endearing and the police characters were reasonably well drawn. However i found the rather screeching Scouse accent very irritating and sometimes the speed made it difficult to understand. it has promise but although I like a Liverpool accent this one did not gel with me
