Summary
Coroner Jenny Cooper investigates…. An unlikely suicide or a deadly conspiracy? When Bristol Coroner Jenny Cooper investigates the fatal plunge of a man from a motorway bridge, she little suspects that it has any connection with the sudden death of a friend’s thirteen year old daughter from a deadly strain of meningitis. But as Jenny pieces together the dead man’s last days, she’s drawn into a mystery whose dark ripples stretch across continents and back through decades.
In an investigation which will take her into the sinister realms of unbridled human ambition and corrupt scientific endeavour, Jenny is soon forced to risk the love and lives of those closest to her, as a deadly race to uncover the truth begins….

Loose Cannon!
Oh dear. Such a ridiculous storyline. Disappointing compared to earlier books.
Jenny is a detective, judge and jury. Obnoxious at times,
as usual family and relationships come last. Rein her in and make her more likeable then maybe that would be more believable.

Gripping
Great series but this book is quite scary to listen to during the COVID 19 pandemic given the actions of government agencies and other parties interested in only covering their own backs. At times became distracted thinking of what is happening in the here and now and the story itself. Thoroughly recommend it

Addictive.
I have just binged on this entire series. The Coroner proved to be little addictive xx

Brilliant
This is a brilliant intelligent thriller, offering complex believable characters and excellent plotting around contemporary issues. The narration by Sian Thomas is superb - she really inhabits the characters, making each one distinct and credible. It's an excellent combination of pacy writing and vivid narration.

Another ripping yarn
I love this series and this is no exception - a very good story, brilliantly narrated by Sian Thomas. Jenny Cooper is a coroner and this time she investigates an apparent suicide. With that as a hook you can imagine how determined she is to find out why the young man committed suicide - if he did. The plot is a little bit exaggerated although there is an interesting explanation by the author of the background to the book. If you have read the others in the series this is an excellent addition, but if you have not I absolutely recommend that you start at the beginning of the series - all of which are very good listens.

Excellent Book
This, another book in the Coroner series, is well up to his previous books. Jenny Cooper, the Coroner, is a no nonsense character who gives her all for the unfortunate victims. The characters are believable, the plots are always good. One of the most standout features of the series though, apart from the writing, is that Sian Thomas has, in my mind the perfect voice for the character. How many times are books let down by whiny voices. Not in this case. Roll on the next Coroner book.
