Summary
Discover a new detective in a tough city.
DI Tom Mariner thinks he's seen it all, but now he faces an investigation which will push him to the limit. Journalist Eddie Barham is found dead in his home. A syringe in his arm and a note by his side reading, "No More". Open and shut case of suicide? Not for DI Mariner.
Hours before, he saw Barham picking up a prostitute in a bar. And then Mariner discovers Barham's younger brother, Jamie, hiding in a cupboard under the stairs. Jamie must have witnessed his brother's death, but his severe autism makes communication almost impossible. Mariner is determined to connect with Jamie and get to the truth.
Is the journalist's death related to his investigation of a local crime kingpin? What other dark secrets does Jamie hold the key to, and can Mariner keep his relationship professional with Barham's attractive sister, Anna? In a nail-biting conclusion, Mariner races against time to prevent more lives being lost.

Good enjoyable story
I thought this a good story and liked the twist at the end. Half the battle is getting a good narrator who doesn't spoil the story with dodgy accents that offend the ear. His accents were spot on, even my native scottish accent which can be a bit cringy when I hear some narrators attempts.

Worth a listen
Enjoyed the story, narrator good with accents and it kept me listening to the end. Wouldn’t have complained either if I’d spent a credit in it 👍🏼

Okay - passes the time
The plot is good, not at all predictable. The execution is a bit more pedestrian though. That said, it may be the fault of the narration, which lacks nuance and sounds throughout like a local tv reporter delivering a story they are trying to make exciting - though failing. Made it a bit hard-going.

Great book & enjoyable narration
Really enjoyed this book, totally unexpected plot twist which kept me listening at every opportunity!
As previously commented, it gives a human insight on autism which added to the book’s layers.

Solid story with interesting insights into autism
This was a good listen; a good way to pass the time while on staycation. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the narrator. He was horrible, it was just his pitch was a bit high. Great for the female characters but harder as the main character. Overall a good story, there no leaps of reality so I enjoyed that.

Excellent novel
Well-written and well narrated, good topic and although one slight time discrepancy it didn’t take away from the story

Good Storyline
The storyline was suitably interesting. The story had good twists and turns with life's social challenges thrown in. It took me a while to get comfortable with the narration, which I came to enjoy
A very good listen

Interesting characters
DI Mariner is new to me. The characters are well constructed and written. The story moves along nicely with enough clues to get the listener involved and guessing. I will definitely look out for the next one.
