Summary
It's 1940 - France has fallen, and Britain stands alone against the might of the German war machine; a fierce battle for supremacy of the air rages in the skies as the Battle of Britain hits full stride.
For Chief Inspector Frank Parade and his much-depleted team, there are many challenges to policing the small Welsh mining village of Gilfach Goch, for while miles away from the theatres of war, the home front faces unique challenges of its own. The wartime demands thrown on the country mean that each officer in Parade’s team must do the work of two men - three even.
Soon, the already overwhelming workload is increased when not one, but two bodies turn up, and Parade finds himself having to investigate two murders as well as cope with everything else thrown his way.

Murder, Mystery and Intrigue In WW2 Wales.
A very well crafted, written and narrated police procedural set during World War 2 in a mining area of Wales. The characters are well described and come to life for the listener. The plot is very nicely contrived with several twists and turns. I listened to it without a break as the pace was just right and clues sufficient to keep my continued interest. A very enjoyable and satisfying novel.

Didn’t concentrate on just one case.
Really enjoyed listening to this. Just how much has policing changed? I sincerely hope there might be more to follow.

a great wartime story
I received a audible copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
It took me a little while to realise that the book was set in the 1940's as the first chapter concentrated on other matters, but the book is a very good tale of crime and murder, and also gives an insight into the conditions people in rural Wales lived in during the war years. The narration is great and very easy to listen to.
I enjoyed the story and am looking forward to hearing more from this author

Great Book.
This isan excellent world War 2 detective novel. Fast paced and well defined characters, not 1 but 2 murder victims, were they the work of 1 killer? you'll have to listen to this story to find out! What can i say about the narrator that hasn't been said before, Aubrey Parsons is brilliant! He really makes the book come alive, in this one his Welsh accent is perfect. If a narrator ever deserves 10 stars then Aubrey would be a hot contender. Highly recommended read.
I was kindly given this copy of the book by the narrator and have left this voluntary review.
