Super reading and a great story - recommended.
This is really well read by Stephen Hodson, a really good story with an interesting twist at the end. For once DI Diamond finds himself a suspect in the murder case and needs to do some private sleuthing. Set in Bath and Bristol so I found it particularly enjoyable.

Keeps one listing
I've only listened to one other book by this author, The House Sitter, which I enjoyed. Diamond Dust is a similarly well-constructed and gripping, but entirely different, story with believable characters who are brought to life by the writer and the excellent reader. If you enjoy modern crime fiction, you'll enoy this book.

Excellent story
Having just finished this the second book I have listened to written by Peter Lovesey, I can honestly say I really enjoyed it.
Well scripted and excellent narration with an unexpected twist at the end, totally recommended.

Engaging whodunnit (and why!)
This was my first taste of the Diamond series, and it was a great start. I got drawn into the narrative from the outset, and found the tale perfect for accompanying me on my many dog walks. I also enjoyed trying to picture the locations depicted in the book - sometimes using real places can be a distraction but living not too far away from this lovely town, I found they added depth to the story.
I appreciated the creation of a central character with whom I didn't always feel empathy - the author paints Diamond as a warts and all character which makes him seem all the more 'real'.
I was kept guessing as to the perpetrator of the crime until towards the final chapters of the book, and it was both the 'whodunnit' and the 'why dunnit' that kept me engaged until the end
Listening to this made me want to download other Peter Lovesay / Diamond titles.

Somewhat different
I enjoyed this book very much, the subject matter was sad, but believable and not in the general run of other Diamond books, not going to put in spoilers. Well read by Steve Hodson

Gripping!
I enjoyed this book so much I was so engrossed I didn't expect all the amazing twists and turns. I will read this again it was so complex and at times I could almost believe it was true life it was gripping.

Poor narrator
This was the first I’d listened to in the series and I think it will be the last. The narrator had an elderly voice which didn’t suit the main character who was a relatively young 49. The story wasn’t bad or I would have given up after the first couple of chapters. I wasn’t drawn to Peter Diamond, he didn’t have the charisma for the main character.

Nice twist but very old fashioned
Not much imagination on the first 90% fairly slow going.....easy listen but not all that gripping.

Disappointing
The end of the story was disappointing. However the main problem was the narration. Some of the voices were good but the main character voice was just not credible and the whole narration was so slow that it became annoying.
