This is a brilliant new series from David Gatward. Gordy Haig has moved to Frome to try and escape her memories in Wensleydale, the first part of the book very much deals with her grief at the loss of her life partner and is very well written as is the rest of the book. If you are familiar with Davids other Series set in Wensleydale it would help as there are references to people and places there but this would stand up well as a stand alone in it's own right. Highly recommended listen. Ruth Urquhart does a wonderful job of the narration although I did struggle a little at first but once you get used to her soft Scottish accent she is brilliant.

Brilliant new Series.

I liked the evolution of Gordy Haig and the exploration of Harry Grime’s backstory but I’m afraid the narrator spoilt the story for me.. in a way I’d have preferred it if it had been narrated by Aubrey Parsons

Shame about the narrator

Bit slow and depressing to start but a good story once it got going. Can see the beginnings of some good characters. Not too sure about the narrator but maybe she’ll grow on me

I really enjoy a crime thriller audiobook especially when it’s driven by a strong female character so it was off to a great start from the get go for me. The other essential criteria is that the narrator and the writing fit together in such a way that I’m immersed. David J Gatward’s writing is engaging and structured but lacks a distinctive style, it could have been written by any of a number of crime writers of a similar level, however Ruth Urquhart’s narration really makes it stand out. She played all the many characters seamlessly and with real variety and has me completely hooked on the main character Gordy. She played her with such truth and lovely contrast of navigating grief and her work life. I really want to know what happens next for her. Found it jarring so many dedications to the book right at the start. To mention that many people works better afterwords in my opinion and by the writer themself
