Editor reviews
Gwendoline Butler’s 26th John Coffin mystery, The Coffin Tree finds the embattled police chief of London’s Second City embarking on an investigation into the "accidental" death of two of his officers, and leads him straight into a sticky web of money-laundering, arson, and duplicity in this absorbing police procedural radiantly performed by Nigel Carrington, who’s authentic British accent and confident delivery transport the listener to the criminal underworld lurking beneath the Thames.
Summary
A new mystery featuring the complex and fascinating London policeman John Coffin finds Coffin investigating the apparently accidental deaths of two of his officers, deaths linked to a strange half-dead tree. By the author of A Coffin for Charley.

Good story, but …
Have been enjoying the series but have to stop. The main characters continuous petty jealousy and neurotic, whining self.doubt about their relationship is doing my head in.

Entertaining but…
On the whole an enjoyable listen. Well narrated and characterised but a shame the plot concludes so weakly.

Loved it ....
Firstly the narration was superb. Good narration brings a story to life.
Story itself was good. It kept me guessing.
No bad language - what a blessing.
Pity I'd pick this up before reading the previous books.

performance easy to lost
reader is running with reading without any slowing down, I tried first going back few times to check if he is talking about next character already... bored voice, main character maybe because of reading is even more boring, irritating
no warm feelings to any of characters

How many have to die .
This main character is an incompetent prat with a mommy complex that’s fixated on the character of the wife , indicating that behind all successful men there’s a woman , a didn’t I do well success , being a poor lad from a deprived background who has made good . Still not surprising seeing that the author of this drivel is a woman .
