About this listen

MEET DETECTIVE RUTHERFORD BARNES IN THIS BRILLIANT NEW CRIME SERIES FROM A SERVING POLICE OFFICER.

Discover an absolutely gripping crime thriller with a massive twist.

On a wild and stormy night on England’s south coast, ambitious young police constables Rutherford Barnes and Harriet Holden are doing the rounds when they see a burglar fleeing the scene of the crime.

And the location is Harriet’s house. The ground floor is ransacked. Scrawled in red across one wall are the words: DEAD COPS SLEEP LONG.

Then a few days later, Harriet’s battered body is discovered in a shabby seafront hotel.

Newly promoted to detective, Barnes vows to discover who killed his partner, and why.

Perfect for fans of Joy Ellis, Helen H. Durrant, Bill Kitson, Michael Hambling, Peter James, Angela Marsons, Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Rachel Abbott, Elly Griffiths, J.M. Dalgliesh or Patricia Gibney.

This book is not a tense crime thriller but rather a tedious and long winded attempt at a crime thriller. The narrator is good but the author isn't. Not recommended.

Disappointing

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I quite liked this one, something not quite hitting the mark for me. Not sure if I’ll listen to the next one. Very good narration.

Not bad

I'm not sure what some of the reviewers listened to but it was not the same book that I heard, this is an excellent story, sad but excellent, so many twists and turns you'll never guess the truth, it's an outstanding start to what I hope will be a long series, I love this.

Just to add a a little extra intrigue, book 2 is already out and is an absolutely fantastic listen too.

Outstanding tale of betrayal and murder

I hope that there are many more books to come, and that the audio versions are made

Brilliant

I enjoyed much of this novel and it’s twists and turns we’re generally unexpected. I’m not so sure about the narrator- at times he seemed to need to have a good cough!!
Yes - I agree with other reviewers….what happened to Forbes?

A bit long
