Summary

Neil Kettle is a detective chief inspector with Devon and Cornwall Police Force, in charge of the major crime investigation team. A widower, he comes through depression by using his work as support.

A countryman, the son of a farmer, Neil is in touch with the landscape as he hunts down serial killers, murderers, drugs and weapons smugglers, human traffickers, rustlers, and even the Beast of Bodmin Moor. A country copper with a strange mind, a weary heart, and quick fists. What could possibly go wrong?

Horrendously boring narration

Managed to finish 1st book - just to hear outcome. Cannot bring myself to listen to other books in set.

Good Story.

It was a very enjoyable story, the bad pronunciation on a lot of words I found really annoying and off putting, which detracted from the overall enjoyment.
The narration was very monotone, if you aren't careful you can loose the plot a bit and loose which character it talking.

Didn’t like this at all

I do think that maybe this would have been better if a trained actor had read the books rather than the author. I was looking forward to the whole set, but found the narration boring and monotonous and could only get halfway through the second book? Would not recommend.
