Summary

The thrilling first audiobook in the best-selling DI Kelly Porter series.

After a scandal forces DI Kelly Porter out of the Met, she returns home to the Lake District. Crimes in the Cumbrian constabulary tend to be minor, but Kelly begins work on a cold case that shocked the local community - the abduction and brutal murder of a 10-year-old girl.

Meanwhile, Kelly is also investigating two seemingly straightforward crimes: a case involving an illegal immigrant and a robbery following the death of a local businessman. But evidence comes to light that reveals a web of criminal activity beyond anything Kelly imagined. Behind the veneer of sleepy, touristy towns lies a dark and dangerous underworld.

As Kelly threatens to expose those with much to lose, she risks paying the ultimate price to get to the truth....

[4.5/5]

This was really good!! Maybe these crime thrillers are all the same but I don't care lol they're enjoyable. I love the way the stories and characters tied together in this one I do love a plot that comes together like a puzzle. I'm so happy this is another long series for me to get stuck into!

Very good!!

To be honest this book made my stomach turn with how little value gangs have on human life making this book a fantastic listen!! I’m now going to listen to the next book in the series! Narrator was also very good! Really good all round and would highly recommend

Off to a great start

This is the first story in this series, and it’s excellent. Believable characters; plausible, complicated story; excellent narration; 5 more stories in the series at time of writing. Happy days. As another reviewer remarked it’s so refreshing for the main character to be fairly ordinary, really good at her job, with no obvious major personality flaws. Already downloaded No2 with great anticipation. Highly recommended.

Great listen

Out of all the books I've listened to this narrator suited the story most. The pace of the read was perfect, the accents were believable. 1st time listening to this author and I was immediately engrossed. The plot was believable, the landscape was painted brilliantly... Loved it and going to get the 2nd straight away. Written like some of the best BBC "who done it's"

What a story!

I looked online for best police procedural book series and this came up.
The story was excellent and a bit gruesome and upsetting at times.
I really got into the story and listened far too much than I should have and finished it in two days.
Would definitely recommend.
Also the narration was excellent.
