Summary

When lawyer Jenny Cooper is appointed Severn Vale District Coroner, she’s hoping for a quiet life and space to recover from a traumatic divorce. But the office she inherits from the recently deceased Harry Marshall contains neglected files hiding dark secrets and a trail of buried evidence.

Could the tragic death in custody of a young boy be linked to the apparent suicide of a teenage prostitute and the fate of Marshall himself? Jenny’s curiosity is aroused. Why was Marshall behaving so strangely before he died? What injustice was he planning to uncover? And what caused his abrupt change of heart?

*shrugs*

It was alright I suppose. Predictable in places, unbelievable in others, and downright corny at the end. I expected better. Not sure I’ll bother with Jenny’s company again.

Brilliant book full of twists and turns

Really great book, very well written, well narrated and really enjoyable.
The narrator was very good using differences in her voice so you knew which character was speaking.
I recommend this book it was great and can't wait to read the next books

EXCELLENT READ

Where does The Coroner rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have read and listened to many books over the past 67 years and this ranked with some of the best. I nearly didn't download it because of one reviewer's comments but I am so glad I gave it a try. I am looking forward to listening to the others in the series.

What did you like best about this story?

The fact that I had to keep listening.

loved it

having read some of the previews I was a little sceptical about listening to this book. but my apprehension left immediately- o loved this book & will listen to this author again.
very good story & despite the anger mentioned in previous reviews, I was on her side & could relate to the emotions of someone that age.
highly recommend

well narrated introduction to series.

A really good narration to the first in what promises to be a good series. The story keeps right on at a pace until the very end. I look forward to more.
