Summary

The start of a crime thriller series from Wes Markin, bestselling author of the DCI Yorke series.

Still grieving from the tragic death of her colleague, DCI Emma Gardner continues to blame herself and is struggling to focus. So, when she is seconded to the wilds of Yorkshire, Emma hopes she’ll be able to get her mind back on the job, doing what she does best - putting killers behind bars.

But when she is immediately thrown into another violent murder, Emma has no time to rest. Desperate to get answers and find the killer, Emma needs all the help she can. But her new partner, DI Paul Riddick, has demons and issues of his own.

And when this new murder reveals links to an old case Riddick was involved with, Emma fears that history might be about to repeat itself…

Wow!

There's a new detective on the block in this the first in the new series by Wes Markin. A brilliantly addictive story told in Wes's inimitable style. Totally different from his previous books. this is a real edge of your seat thriller from page 1, twists and turns abound and the finale is classic. The characters are well developed and you really feel as if you know them well by the end of the story. Aubrey Parsons I think excels himself in the narration and as Wes says "He nailed it!" Well worth 10 stars let alone 5 if only they were available. Highly recommended. Roll on book 2. ☺

Ok but not very gripping

The narrators female voice was annoying and sometimes the characters merged which made it hard to follow at times

Ssshhhh!!

I struggled very hard to listen to the whole of this book, which has a great storyline and well devised plot but the narrator...There's giving the characters their regional accents, i.e. West Country and North Yorks but indicating their character type by shouting their dialogue aggressively does not make for easy listening. The book is ruined by the loud, abrasive voices of the 'bad guys' and needs to be rerecorded without the shouting. Sorry!

Poor story, no tension at all

I just couldn't be bothered about any of the characters, and I couldn't get to grips with the reader, his accents were terrible. There is no tension, and perhaps this is mainly because I don't care about anybody in it.
