About this listen

Meet Detective Inspector Dan Hellier, a man who needs to redeem his career and catch a killer.

Soon after DI Hellier returns home to Exeter under a cloud, the body of a talented young singer is found in the woods. When her death reveals links to the boss of a recording studio, a predatory gang and a school music teacher, Hellier knows he has his work cut out. Before more innocent people are put in danger, Hellier will need to untangle the web of lies and work out which of many suspects are guilty of murder.

If you are a fan of Joy Ellis, Faith Martin and LJ Ross, then you'll love Bernie Steadman's new West County Crime Mystery Series.

Excellent

Great plot, interesting twists, different from the normal detective book. Can't wait to red the next one

Well written

The narration lacked emotion. A car chase and an informal chat were read with the same tone. Story seemed quite good though, lots of layers, twists and turns. I’d be interested to hear more, with a different narrator.

Poor narration good story

I do think Dan deserves to be demoted. I think Sally would make a much better DI. however, I'm willing to see if his aptitude and ability really does improve.

good story and v.good narration

cleverly written leading the listener this way & that & painting colourful pictures of the various characters both good, vulnerable and bad. The narration was brilliant

the unfolding of horror without being unnecessary graphic

Not too sensational. Believable and relatable. Good narrator too. Would listen to more in series.

Nice characters

I liked it from start to finish. The story was easy to follow, intriguing and at times tense. The characters were both interesting and complex enough to hold your interest.

Well worth listening to

Competent story line, although nothing particularly clever. I didn't engage with main protagonists which is what I value in a good story.

inoffensive
