About this listen

'Kate Webb is your next must-read' LUCY FOLEY

'A wonderful addition to contemporary crime' ANN CLEEVES

A breathtaking cold case mystery, starring DI Lockyer and DC Gemma Broad. Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves and Val McDermid.

1999. A group of archaeologists are excavating a Bronze Age burial site in the grounds of Trusloe Hall, a minor stately home in Wiltshire. Excited that their dig is being filmed for a TV documentary, the group are camping onsite and having the time of their lives.

In the blink of an eye, one of the party disappears: a young woman called Nazma Kirmani. An extensive police investigation fails to find any trace of her, and the case goes cold for over twenty years.

2020. When a chance discovery presents new evidence into Nazma's disappearance, DI Lockyer and DC Gemma Broad are put on the case. Did Nazma intend to disappear, or was she taken? Did she walk out on her life, or was she murdered? Lockyer must see past the upheavals in his own life to find out the truth for her desperate family.

Great listen

If you liked the first two in the series, you’ll love this. Great character development. Great story, expertly read as always from this narrator. If you haven’t read/heard the first two books, I would definitely recommend starting with those. James Lailey is fast becoming my favourite narrator. His performance brings both story and characters to life in a way few others can. The only problem with this third instalment is that there isn’t yet a fourth.

Another excellent episode from both author and narrator

Loved the twists in the story and the way it was told. Already looking forward to the next one.
Excellent performance of the book and he has a soothing tone.

This series is a real gem, gripping story telling told through fantastic narration, can’t recommend these books enough!

Gripping, engaging and beautifully written

Apart from the incomparable Dorothy Dunnett I do prefer male writers because mostly they don’t include families. The male or female protagonists usually lead lives full of excitement but no wretched children to encumber them. Until this novel I had really enjoyed Kate Webb’s Lockyer stories but this one just had to ruin them for me with his personal life. The repulsive murderer in this novel was made truly evil by his appalling treatment of women. I have such a low opinion of humans especially men (no, my husband was absolutely the best human being on the planet) that this baddie really was unforgettably evil but I have to hope that Kate Webb wasn’t basing him on a real person. Now there’s the boring family dynamic I’m not sure I shall continue with this series.

No wonder I prefer male authors

Again Kate Webb weaves a tale with so many twists that you can’t stop listening. Serious issues raised amidst the crimes and a real cliff hanger to conclude the book which will keep us all anticipating the next novel. That cannot be too soon! The narration was perfect too!!

Another absorbing story with Lockyer and Broad

Another fabulous instalment..both of the series and the author. I literally cannot get enough of the narrator James Lailey..he is superb and brings every single character to life..thank you!

Outstanding

Once again I was gripped shortly into the book. The author and narrator combo is perfect.

Fabulous. Oh so twisty.

Long awaited book 3. Loved James narration and found this author just because of J Lailey. Glad I did. I did find this story drawn out a little and wish there had been more in depth about Heddy and Gem’s story. Felt like they were skipped over. However I enjoyed it and will wait for book 4!

A great book 3 looking forward to book 4
