Summary

Family ties. Buried lies. A life on the line.

Detective Sebastian Clifford and his partner Lucinda "Birdie" Bird are about to embark on their most challenging case yet when Lady Angelica Charing tasks them with finding the son she secretly gave away when she was only sixteen.

Time's running out. This long-lost son isn't just a missing puzzle piece; he's the last hope for a life-saving kidney transplant for his dying half-brother. The stakes couldn't be higher.

With the Charing family's reputation on the line, Clifford and Birdie must operate under the radar, cutting through years of concealed truths.

As the deadline approaches, they race to find the missing son and persuade him to make a life-altering choice. Can they solve the case and save a life before time runs out?

Dive into a world of hidden identities and urgent choices in Wake the Past.

Smooth run

The most important thing for me is to like the character's and with Birdie and Seb I do, hence getting this book as soon as I saw it.
However it wasn't my favourite in the series, it felt like nothing was looked into in their enquiries deeply enough and everything fell into place easily.

Despite a complex twisting story,

it was a most satisfying listen. Very well read, great characters and an engaging story line.

A bit tame

My least favourite of the series. Felt all a bit too trite and the ending was predictable
Easy listening but not the best
