A text message from his wife… his dead wife! A murder with no witnesses. No motive. No clues. Where would you begin?

The unsolved murder of a local woman. A spate of armed robberies on petrol stations. Two missing schoolgirls. They say bad things come in threes, but this is challenging the resilience of battle-hardened Yorkshire copper, DCI Frank Finnegan. With a new, and feisty, street-smart female officer joining his ranks, will it be the boost he needs to solve the crimes? When the grieving husband of the murdered woman offers up vital information relating to the missing schoolgirls, things swiftly escalate. Is he telling the truth, creating a diversion, or masking a dark secret? Finnegan's motto is—every crime scene contains a clue; every criminal makes a mistake. His adage is about to be tested to the limit!©2022 Ely North (P)2025 W F Howes Ltd Crime Crime Fiction International Mystery & Crime Mystery Police Procedurals Marriage

This is an easy listen with good narration, But the clues in the story are easy to read. I was often thinking why the police didnt pick up certain indicators. Maybe the author wanted that. For the reader to feel superior to the officers. But the ending was hugely frustrating. If it was meant NOT to be an ending,it achieved that. I don’t want to explain further. Read it and see if you agree with me.

Disappointed.

Overall an enjoyable read.

A narrator can make or break a book for me but I’m please to say this narrator does a fabulous job.

A decent story, well presented with a pretty real Yorkshire accent. Anyone who likes a neat and tidy ending may be disappointed though.

I enjoyed this book, which I chose because of it's setting. Whitby is one of my favourite places and I was able to picture the places mentioned turning the book into a movie as I read.
the characters were well described allowing the reader to feel they are part of the investigation.
I enjoyed it so much I've downloaded the 2nd book in the series.

I get that there is a need to link stories in a series of books but the non ending here leaves more questions still to answer than it resolved. Too many non answers for me but I did love the characters
