About this listen

A career man, Edwin Murphy has always put more effort into his work than his family. Everything changes for Edwin when his wife files for divorce. On the brink of losing his home, his job and his little girl, Edwin orchestrates an intricate plan to eliminate his wife and regain his former lifestyle. The police are baffled when bodies begin to appear all over London with no apparent connection between them. Inspector David Morton must think outside the box as he investigates the deadly web of deceit behind the murders.

For me, concentration was required, lots of characters, story was good and matched the fictional category. Great narrator, love his voice. Wee twist at the end.

For me I had two issues with this book. The pace was unbalanced, focusing more on the inane than the actual plot. Therefore when, finally something interesting did occur, it was over quite quickly (but well written). However the majority was droll, needlessly lengthy, added little to the story and could easily have been cut which would have improved the book.

Secondly, the characters were really lacking They seemed accurate technical sketches of archetypes as opposed to real people. This left the characters more like gauche marionettes that prevented the story from coming to life.

Lacking pace
