Summary
Kindle Storyteller Award winner 2021
Meet DCI Lesley Clarke. She’s a straight-talking city copper who doesn’t suffer fools gladly…and she’s been transferred to rural Dorset.
After being injured in a bomb attack, Lesley is presented with a choice - early retirement, or a period of respite in a calmer location.
But things don’t stay calm for long.
Before she’s even started her new job, Lesley is dragged into investigating a murder at one of England’s most iconic landmarks, the imposing Corfe Castle.
Lesley must hit the ground running. Can she get along with her new partner, DS Dennis Frampton, a traditionalist who doesn’t appreciate her style? How will she navigate the politics of a smaller force where she’s a bigger, and less welcome, fish? And most importantly, can she solve the murder before the killer strikes again?
The Corfe Castle Murders is a compelling, character-driven mystery perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, LJ Ross, and Elly Griffiths.

Enjoyable
I usually read grittier police drama so this made a nice change. Will listen to more of Rachel McLean. Thought the narrator I’d a good job too with all the different accents.

All right wasn’t the most exciting.
The characters were hard to like except for the DCI heroine. Everyone else was dodgy. Old fashioned, opinionated sergeant, insipid young female characters- the murder victim and the uniform constable. Prat of a detective constable, intolerable super, irritating murderer and did we really need the dirty old man? Ew. And spoiler alert, after receiving divorce papers from her philandering husband the DCI reverts to a lesbian. Not my cuppa. Give me a Patricia Cornwell any day. Gave performance 4!as managed well with all the accents and flowed well. Good story. Just needs a little work, (maybe I’ll try another) to like the characters more.

I did enjoy the novel, good strong characters but, a lot of unanswered questions by the end.

Really Enjoyed this!
This is my first book by Rachel McLean but I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will definitely listen to more in this series, when available, and also listen to her related series, about this main character's old colleagues.
I saw that a few other reviewers had objected to the Narrator, but I had no problem with her at all, and thought she did an excellent job of the characterisation.

Really good listen
Can’t wait to listen to the next book! The relationship between the DCI and DS was brilliant - made me laugh out loud at times. The narrator really brought the characters to life.

An enjoyable story but spoiled by the narration
The story was good although it finished a bit quickly. The relationship between the DCI and her sergeant was entertaining. The narrator had very strange inflections as she read and made some of the characters sound very silly when if I read the words they wouldn't have appeared so. I notice the narrator is used for all the books so I won't listen to any more.
