Penguin presents the new unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Dead Men's Bones, the new gripping thriller from James Oswald.

Morag Weatherly and her two young daughters have been shot by husband Andrew, an influential politician, before he turned the gun on himself.

But what would cause a rich, successful man to snap so suddenly?

For Inspector Tony McLean, this apparently simple but high-profile case leads him into a world of power and privilege. And the deeper he digs, the more he realises he's being manipulated by shadowy factions.

Under pressure to wrap up the case, McLean instead seeks to uncover layers of truth - putting the lives of everyone he cares about at risk . . .

What did you like most about Dead Men's Bones?

The story just romped along even though the ending was slightly unsatisfactory. Ian Hanmore does a fantastic job as narrator.

I haven't listened/read this series in chronological order and having, prior to this book, listened to the latest am aware that the author has honed his skills with time. This Book 4 in the series is an imaginative, if far -fetched story. It had added resonance for me as it is set in the area I live in and I regularly walk where the bizarre events are described. I know this author likes to insert supernatural elements in his narratives, but here they are obliquely alluded to without any resolution. The ending is rushed and inconclusive. The thing I really dislike in this book, and those of other crime writers, is the repeated recourse to scenes in which the eponymous detective is given a bollicking by his/her superior. It is so cliched and boring. In this book it is taken extremes with numerous scenes, which I fast-forwarded past with little loss to the story.
Ian Hanmore's excellent narration is a saving grace.

Not as good as other later books

Gripping slightly supernatural

A who dun it, Demons & Devils, a splash of romance, a sense of humour & lots of curry. Could these books be any better? Brilliant characters, some you love some you could just kill (that is, if you could get away with it)🔧💣🗡

Ian Hanmore comes across fabulously too (A brilliant narrator.

Off to buy the next in the series, am so addicted!!
