About this listen

DI Nikki Galena: A police detective with nothing left to lose, she's seen a girl die in her arms, and her daughter will never leave the hospital again. She's gotten tough on the criminals she believes did this to her. Too tough. And now she's been given one final warning: make it work with her new sergeant, DS Joseph Easter, or she's out.

Her partner, DS Joseph Easter, is the handsome, squeaky-clean new member of the team. But his nickname, Holy Joe, belies his former life as a soldier. He has an estranged daughter who blames him for everything that went wrong with their family.

Their adversary is a ruthless man who holds DI Galena responsible for his terrible disfigurement.

This was my first encounter with this author, I enjoyed the story line and found enough suspense to drag me back.
I did not like the narrator, the first part appeared rushed and the various accents confusing or spoken with a strange accent, will avoid this narrator in future as it distracted from the story.

poor narrator

I was unsure if I was going to enjoy a new narrator after Richard Armitage ... but it has been a captivating story with twists and turns along the way for DI Nikki Galena .... look forward to hearing the next story

I'm just about to embark on the 5th Nikki Galena book and as much as I love the stories, the narration has got to be the worst ever. I was wondering if it was just me so looked back on the reviews and it turns out I'm not alone. The accents aren't great. Joseph sounds like he's got something stuck somewhere uncomfortable and as you go through the series it gets worse - I'm still wondering whether a character in book 4 was Irish or Scottish. I have persevered with the series because the stories are good, if a little more far fetched than Joy Ellis' other detectives. The detectives' backstories continue through the series so it's good to read them in order. Somebody please tell Henrietta that 'SOCO' is not pronounced like 'cocoa'!

Great book but narration terrible

could be a good story but has been let down by a very irritating narrator and her annoying voices

disappointed

Having enjoyed the 'Jackman' stories, I looked forward to a different series.
The story itself was fine, though seemed to take a little time to develop.
However, for me, the narrator's voice completely failed to portray the characters not only convincingly but also consistently.
I rarely read reviews before selecting a book, but in this instance, it might have prepared me for what was to come!

Good story - unconvincing narration...
