Summary
Alex Walters is the best-selling and critically acclaimed author of the DI Alec McKay series. Winterman is a gripping serial killer thriller which will appeal to fans of Stuart Macbride and Mark Edwards.
DI Ivan Winterman is a man with a troubled past. The Blitz has left his young son dead and his wife seriously injured. He has made enemies in high places, and, with his career going nowhere, he returns to his home town in East Anglia, seeking to rebuild his life in a country gripped by postwar austerity. As the snow begins to fall, a drunken ex-clergyman stumbles on the semi-mummified body of a small child concealed in a ruined cottage. Days later, a second child's body is found in a Fenland dyke. Winterman, supported by a small team of assorted misfits, finds himself uncovering a web of secrets in the small rural community. When a further murder victim is discovered, Winterman discovers that the secrets are darker and the threat far more immediate than he'd ever envisaged.

Loved this one!
Just discovered this author and thoroughly enjoyed his other series of books. Wasn’t quite sure if I would enjoy this one but turns out to be my favourite- well worth a listen

Didn’t engage me
I never really got into this book I persevered for over 6 hours of the recording but realised that although there is an interesting story the numerous characters don’t stick in my mind and I wasn’t sure who was whom and I was bored by the book.

The depth of the plot and the way the story kept you interested all the way through.
The story was really good, it got me interested right from the very beginning. Towards the end when I thought I knew all the outcomes there were twists and unexpected turns. Highly recommend this and I hope I can find more books about Winterman.
The only thing I found distracting was the mispronunciation of several words by the narrator. ‘Doggedly’and ‘plaid’ out although there were several more. It seems that it hadn’t been properly edited. Apart from this the narrators read the story well and had a pleasing voice.

Interesting and a bit different
Enjoyed the story and the characters. Wasn’t keen on narrator as he kept pronouncing some words in a weird way, but it didn’t distract too much.

Narrator lets it down
The story is ok it’s a bit long winded felt like author had been given a word count so there was useless rambling that didn’t add to the story. But the story is enjoyable enough.
The narrator puts weird pauses in places it doesn’t feel they should be. Seemed to struggle with pronunciation of every day words too.

Half way through
It’s beginning to be intriguing, and it’s pretty well read, but there are some extraordinary mispronunciations, which is slightly irritating.

Atmospheric and evocative story
A good, atmospheric, historical crime novel - but incredibly odd mispronounced words by the narrator. Not sure how they got past editors as they really jar you out of the story.
