Summary
When a worker goes missing from a North Sea gas platform, there seem to be just two possible explanations - it was a tragic accident or a suicide. It does not take Smith and his detectives long, however, to discover that James Bell led a double life back onshore in Kings Lake, a life complicated enough to make him at least one dangerous enemy. Before the case can be unraveled, Smith must get a new team working together; Waters and Murray are still there, but one of Wilson's men is transferred to him, and the female detective constable from Longmarsh poses some unexpected problems for her new sergeant. Together they begin to investigate the links between the companies and the people that bring ashore the oil and gas, and they also find themselves caught up in the seamier side of life that exists beneath Lake's everyday comings and goings. Jo Evison begins to delve more deeply into the story of the Andretti murders, and Smith himself has to face the fact that he might no longer be considered fit for duty.

A gem
I really loved this book. My 3rd book in the series and I now feel either an affinity and affection for the characters or a sympathetic dislike!
Can’t recommend Peter Grainger and DC too highly!

Another good story well told
This narrator is perfect for the main character of Smith, he does have some rather odd pronunciations of some words, Peugeot for example!
The story itself is good and held our interest, the story unfolds nicely and includes lots of additional bits like background facts and references to the previous book's case.
Definitely going to listen to the next book!

Totally hooked on this series!
I am thoroughly enjoying the story lines and growing very attached to the humane detective that is DC Smith. The narration by Gildart Jackson is perfect for the character and the story. Well done, Audible!

Best Peter Grainger so far in this series
Funny, intelligent, well written, beautifully narrated. Perfect audiobook. Good suspense. Method policing. Well-drawn characters, believable dialogue. Very much enjoyed.

A compelling storyline with magical writing and laugh-out-loud humour
This, the third in the series is every bit as good as the earlier ones. Can’t wait to start the next one. Would make a great TV series!

Peerless narration for the UK's best crime writer
Peter Grainger would head the list of people I'd invite to a dinner party. In DC Smith he he has created an unforgettable character which surely must mirror himself, otherwise how could he be so knowledgeable about birdlife, tides, landscapes, the criminal underworld, investigative procedure, and much besides - including coffee. Smith is a man after my own heart, and I admit to being rather envious of Jo, who puts in more of an appearance later in he series.
Grainger has wise things to say about life and its vagaries, and often makes me laugh out loud. How he is not better known is a mystery in itself.

DS Smith grows on you
Having usually chosen more gritty detectives - I'm feeling rather surprised at how beguiling D C Smith is becoming. His off beat but gentle humour and his problem solving processes are delightful. A word to the narrator - though quite competent generally some pronunciations are a bit off and he could certainly do with a tour of 'the toon' in order to make realistic inroads into a 'Geordie' accent. ( Afraid it was completely dreadful)

Characters
Good story built on believable and interesting characters. The story builds on the main character, who the writer describes in such a way so the reader cares about his loss, likes his personality and all the other well defined characters ...swirl around him, as the story unfolds.
