Summary
A TERRIBLE CRIME WAITS TO BE UNEARTHED.
The second twisty and atmospheric Wiltshire-set crime novel in the DI Lockyer Series. Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves and Val McDermid.
A long, hot summer in Wiltshire is broken by a sudden downpour. Flash floods bring something sinister to the surface - a human skeleton. When forensic testing matches the bones to a man named Lee Geary, reported missing nine years earlier, the case is passed to DI Matt Lockyer.
Geary was a known drug user, so it could be a simple case of misadventure, but Lockyer isn't so sure. Geary was a townie, and had learning disabilities, so what was he doing out on the Plain all alone? Lockyer soon learns that the year he disappeared, Geary was questioned in relation to another crime - the murder of a young woman named Holly Gilbert.
With the help of DC Gemma Broad, Lockyer begins to dig deeper, and discovers that two other persons of interest in the Holly Gilbert case have also either died or disappeared in the intervening years. A coincidence? Or a string of murders that has gone undetected for nearly a decade...?

getting better
some bits make you worried about the intelligence of the police but it was a good listen. good narration and I will be getting the next one.
Most will guess a lot of the outcomes but still worth the circuitous road walked by "Farmer Giles"

Well Worth a Listen
First off, I had listened and thoroughly enjoyed the first Lockyer book in the series, so I looked forward to to this. Again I throughly enjoyed this. I am originally from not far the area these books are set. So with that i am totally full of praise for the performance of James Lalley, his characterisation as well as his authentic accents-not yer usual "Midsomer Worzal" trite cliche.
The story works well, but like any story there always going to be some areas that push the boundaries of coincidence-as is the case her, but it still works well. I will now follow the series as it progresses..

Excellent Book 2
Book 2 is another excellent book with clever twisty turning plots and characters. Really looking forward to Book 3 when it is released.
Book is very well narrated by James Lailey.
Highly recommend.
