Summary
Lost and Never Found is a novel that shows Simon Mason taking his Oxford crime series to a new level of accomplishment.
Oxford, city of rich and poor, where the homeless camp out in the shadows of the gorgeous buildings and monuments. A city of lost things - and buried crimes.
At three o'clock in the morning, Emergency receives a call. 'This is Zara Fanshawe. Always lost and never found.' An hour later, the wayward celebrity's Rolls Royce Phantom is found abandoned in dingy Becket Street. The paparazzi go wild.
For some reason, news of Zara's disappearance prompts homeless woman Lena Wójcik to search the camps, nervously, for the bad-tempered vagrant known as 'Waitrose', a familiar sight in Oxford pushing his trolley of possessions. But he's nowhere to be found either.
Who will lead the investigation and cope with the media frenzy? Suave, prize-winning, Oxford-educated DI Ray Wilkins is passed over in favour of his partner, gobby, trailer-park educated DI Ryan Wilkins (no relation). You wouldn't think Ray would be happy. He isn't. You wouldn't think Ryan would be any good at national press presentations. He isn't.
And when legendary cop Chester Lynch (Black female Deputy Chief Constable from the wrong side of the tracks) takes a shine to Ray - and takes against Ryan - things are only going to get even messier.

Characters
Two very interesting but opposite characters, from differing social circumstances and different intelligences which somehow in an unlikely way and against their instincts manage to work together most of the time . A satisfying story and very well read.

The series gets better and better
I read this in less than 48 hours as I found it so gripping. You really feel like you inhabit the world of the two Wilkins. Very enjoyable.

Best story in the series so far
Relaxing and engaging listen. Good performance by the reader. I’m now waiting for the next in the series as it’s enjoyable seeing the characters develop.

Great narration
This is more great storytelling from Simon Mason and I aim loving the DI Wilkins books.
As I walked around town listening to this latest, excellent episode in the story of Ryan and Ray, I marvelled at the skill that Matt Addis brings to the delivery of Mason's words. I am especially impressed by his handling of the Ryan and Ray voices.
Brilliant stuff!

As great as I hoped it would be
I have so enjoyed listening to all the D I Wilkins books. This is no exception in terms of plot, characters and atmosphere. There is a taster chapter at the end for the next book - looking forward to listening to that as well. I’m sure, it’s already been contemplated, but this series would make great TV.

Kept my interest at all times and at times laugh out loud.
Well read, interesting characters not the usual cops and killer story. The characters had life to them and a human side.
