About this listen

A twisty and atmospheric Wiltshire-set crime novel from a brilliant new voice in the genre. Stay Buried will keep you guessing until the end.

Detective Inspector Matt Lockyer has been side-lined to working cold cases, following a bad decision he made in a recent investigation in order to support a friend. Lockyer isn't too bothered though, as it gives him the chance to review some of the cases that keep him up at night and to look into his own brother's senseless killing, which still remains unsolved.

On a quiet afternoon, Lockyer receives a phone call from prisoner Hedy Lambert—a woman he put inside for murder 14 years ago. She informs him that the man she was originally accused of killing has turned up alive and well. She begs him to reopen her case.

All those years ago, Lockyer had been the one to pin down Hedy's motive, but deep down he'd never wanted to believe she was guilty. The thought that he might have sent an innocent woman down for life doesn't sit well with him, and he agrees to reopen the investigation. But has it become too personal, and is he being manipulated? Perhaps there are some cases should just stay buried.

So grateful to have found Kate Webb who is a new author to me. I enjoyed every part of this intriguing book which I thought I had worked out the ending of many times before being sent off road again. James Lailey is one of my favourite narrators too, so this author narrator partnership was a perfect match. Swiftly moving on now to book 2 of the DI Lockyer series. Highly recommended.

An outstanding story brilliantly narrated.
