Summary
They think they are safe at home. Someone knows better. When a body is found in a locked house, Detective Sergeant Jessica Daniel is left to not only find the killer but discover how they got in and out. With little in the way of leads and a journalist who seems to know more about the case than she does, Jessica is already feeling the pressure - and that's before a second body shows up in identical circumstances to the first.
How can a murderer get to victims in seemingly impossible situations and what, if anything, links the bodies?

Simply Brilliant!
There is a previous reviewer on here who marked this book down because s/he didn't like the way it was narrated; said that it was read like a mother reading to a child! I wish my mother had read to me in that manner! My solution was to play the sample to see if I could handle the voice, style and, story. I'm glad that I did!
If you are a fan of the Peter James 'Roy Grace' novels, then, in DS Jessica Daniel, is a Manchester equivalent, in terms of style, procedures, characters and complexity/simplicity of story.
Many previous reviewers said that they didn't have a clue during the collection of evidence, who the perpetrator could be. It was that well written. The irony is, that even the author told us about it: misdirection! Simply Brilliant! Enjoy!

Excellent book plenty to keep you enthralled
Where does Locked In rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I've just started listening to the audio books so it's high on my list, but it's such and easy way to do the ironing and be whisked away into the story
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jessica as I can totally relate to her! She portrayed as being human which is nice, making mistakes and then rectifying them
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Ones with Jessica and Dave
Any additional comments?
Kerry Wilkinson is a very good story teller, leaves you wanting to now what happening next

Superb!
What did you like best about this story?
The characters were very well drawn. I really felt that I came to know Jessica as a strong, but real career woman.
Have you listened to any of Becky Hindley’s other performances? How does this one compare?
This is the first performance by Becky Hindley for me. She was excellent!
Any additional comments?
This was a great book. My first from this author, but certainly not my last. It was gripping and pacy from start to finish. The narration was also excellent. A very satisfying listen/read.

Spoiled by inferior writing
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
The book should have been copy edited. Lots of lazy writing, poor and very ungrammatical prose from time to time which ruined a good story.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The story was good - I would not change it
What didn’t you like about Becky Hindley’s performance?
I did not dislike her performance
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Locked In?
None

A bit formulaic but well narrated.
Any additional comments?
Somehow I guessed "whodunnit" early on but have been proved wrong in the past. It is possible I have read too many thrillers and wonder exactly what it is that makes a thrilling read? The big difference in this book was that the police chief turned out to be supportive and gave praise. I liked the main character although, again, the feisty sweary girlie cop theme could wear thin. I know this is a first of a series but don't know if I would try another one. But then again.................

Thin
This is a pretty poor book. It is formulaic, the characters are thin and cliched and the writing too is cliched, immature and just plain poor. The reader's tone emphasises its lack of substance by a trivial and flippant stye of narration with no voices. I didn't finish it, which says it all. Not recommended.

Reasonable story.
Reasonable story. Would recommend but the narration was a barrier. It felt like I was a child being read a story by an aunt. No acting, no intonation. Plot good...but resented the tone.

Definitely worth a listen.
I enjoyed the way the characters were developed in this book. The story was good, interesting and well told.
While the main character, Jessica Daniel, is portrayed, I believe, as unnecessarily angry, I enjoyed the book immensely.
