About this listen

A Charlie Woodend Mystery his first... - DS Charlie Woodend has a murder to solve. Trouble is, nobody seems to want him to solve it. Not Eddie, a Liverpudlian thug sent to threaten him; not DCI Bentley; not Deputy Commissioner Naylor, whose word is law in Scotland Yard; not even the dead girl's mother herself. But Woodend cares. He will find the murderer, he promises himself, even if that means putting his career and perhaps even his own life on the line.

i only heard a couple of chapters, the racism is appalling, if that was the way these unfortunate people were spoken and treated in London dreadful, i was part of that era and am ashamed of our country men. I feel none of the words used were necessary for authentication, it was considered awful then and as now only the ignorant spoke this way

Racist couldn't listen

Anyone that’s not triggered by the end of chapter one has more growth to do … I couldn’t listen to this.. the racial slurs are not ok!

Literally can’t hear that word!
