Summary

St. Benet's is a gripping crime thriller, the second in a chilling series of serial killer books, ones which will rapidly convert followers of Faith Martin, Joy Ellis and Damien Boyd into David Blake devotees.

When the body of an old man is found lying in the ruins of St Benet’s Abbey, his throat cut, a knife resting in his open hand, DI John Tanner and DC Jenny Evans are given no choice but to accept a ruling of death by misadventure.

But when the body goes missing from its tomb, after a priest is found nailed to a cross, and another impaled on a stake, everything begins to point back to the murder of a teenage girl, thrown from the top of a church tower, some 43 years before.

Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance, one that will have you guessing until the very end.

Superb

I enjoyed the first in the series but this was actually better, - a little far fetched in places and in hindsight the clue was hidden early in the story but only at the end does it all come together. A clever story well written and well performed and there is a thiord in the series but not on Audible yet (hint hint)

Another good story

And now I’m off to find number 3. Not sure if it was just my ears but I had to slow this down to .9 as I found he was racing along a bit fast.

good narration but story could have been better

a bit like James Bond burnt nearly to death one minute and performing at full power the next. religious aspect a little questionable but overall a good listen.
