About this listen

In the cold light of dawn, a dead body is found in the smouldering remains of a burnt-out Cotswold manor.

Key House has stood empty for years, but its owner, Gervase Crown, was seen nearby just before the blaze. Is he responsible, or was he the intended target?

As Campbell and Carter begin their investigation it becomes clear that Gervase wasn't particularly popular and his return reawakens old memories, not all of them good.

What a wonderful story full of interesting characters. And as for the narration, Judith Boyd, is just wonderful. Her beautiful voice carries the narrative and characters to a satisfying conclusion. Absolutely lovely piece of entertainment.

A ‘proper’ story

This is a good story with interesting, rounded characters told without too much vivid nastiess or gratuitous violence. There is also very little bad language. All of this means I enjoyed the book. Carole Boyd, the narrator, is simply excellent - clear, able to distinguish between characters, not too hurried but moving the story along at a good pace. Definitely one of the best actors around to read a story.
