The 1980s. Anti-nuclear protests. And in the thick of it all, beautiful Claire Oldham - until the day she turns up brutally murdered. A young, troubled drifter Martin Grove, is swiftly prosecuted and jailed for the crime.
Fast forward 20 years: Martin Grove, walks free cleared by advances in forensic science. Fast forward a few more years, come right up to date: Martin Grove is shot dead in his reclusive home, "executed" at close range. DCI Jacobson and his team are on the case.

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel

I tried this book in audible form and found it quite difficult to follow, not through any fault of the reader but because it is a complex book. I found it did help to have a downloaded list of characters and chapter headings. Finally I bought a copy of the book and read it. I absolutely loved it. I think it may be one of those books which are just not suited to an audible format, although now I have read it I will listen to the audible download again, and hope to get more from it.
