Summary

Discover a new detective in a tough city.

DI Tom Mariner thinks he's seen it all, but now he faces an investigation which will push him to the limit. Journalist Eddie Barham is found dead in his home. A syringe in his arm and a note by his side reading, "No More". Open and shut case of suicide? Not for DI Mariner.

Hours before, he saw Barham picking up a prostitute in a bar. And then Mariner discovers Barham's younger brother, Jamie, hiding in a cupboard under the stairs. Jamie must have witnessed his brother's death, but his severe autism makes communication almost impossible. Mariner is determined to connect with Jamie and get to the truth.

Is the journalist's death related to his investigation of a local crime kingpin? What other dark secrets does Jamie hold the key to, and can Mariner keep his relationship professional with Barham's attractive sister, Anna? In a nail-biting conclusion, Mariner races against time to prevent more lives being lost.

Good enjoyable story

I thought this a good story and liked the twist at the end. Half the battle is getting a good narrator who doesn't spoil the story with dodgy accents that offend the ear. His accents were spot on, even my native scottish accent which can be a bit cringy when I hear some narrators attempts.

Great.

An interesting storyline, well written and an enjoyable 'read', that held my attention all the time. The narration was first class.

Excellent novel

Well-written and well narrated, good topic and although one slight time discrepancy it didn’t take away from the story

Unusual

The storyline was unusual enough to hold my interest sufficiently to bridge the gap between one credit and the next. But it was included and I wouldn’t have wasted a credit on it. The narrator did his best but it wasn’t convincing.

Good Storyline

The storyline was suitably interesting. The story had good twists and turns with life's social challenges thrown in. It took me a while to get comfortable with the narration, which I came to enjoy
A very good listen

Good new series

I really enjoyed this discovery on the audible plus catalogue. Both the author and narrator are new to me.
Since listening I have read that it is an updated version of a previously released book - for me it time setting worked really well and was done well I didn't realise that it was written several years ago.
The autism was handled sensitively.

Really enjoyed it so going to binge listen.

The narration was bland and monotone, the story was t much better. I was expecting a twist and turn somewhere but it never came unfortunately.

Good story

An interesting detective and his sidekick PC, a good story that climaxed in an interesting ending, although it could have been more informative about the apprehension of the killers, employed by the pharmaceutical company.
