About this listen

The truth will set you free...except when it doesn't...

Private investigator Sebastian Clifford and his partner Birdie step into the world of celebrity when a star of children's TV turns to them for help. She's being blackmailed by someone who knows about her murky past, and she's desperate to keep it hidden. But silence comes at a price, and it's one she can't afford to pay.

Clifford, who knows better than anyone what it's like to be punished for one mistake, agrees to help. As they dig deeper, they discover that everyone has secrets, and some are dark enough to kill for. Can they find the blackmailer before it's too late and save the reputation—and the life—of a beloved star?

Fear the Truth is book five in the bestselling Detective Sebastian Clifford thriller series and is a perfect blend of mystery, mayhem, and danger.

I can't say I disliked anything about this series. It has everything I needed to help me recuperate after a very nasty crisis of my chronic illness. Jonathan Keeble isjas has the most calming, then emotional and then picturesque voice, that just brings every single character to life. My memory is always quite badly effected during during crisis times, and I normally have to write down character lists. Not once with Johnathon. The storylines are easy enough to to follow with just enough small details and twists to keep the brain cells active to say the least! A real "page turner", very addictive and unfortunately I only have one more book to go. If you are fans of crime thrillers and have done (&continue) with your journeys with the well known Patterson, Nesbo etc but need a lighter but just as enjoyable challenge (similar to DI Dalglish) then follow this author. Sally Rigsby will not disappoint you at all. There I believe I have given both the author and narrator full 5 stars without 1 giveaway. Happy lighter reading, that still takes you away on an extremely enjoyable adventure. Oh another thing although there is always a quick (up until now...) part included in all the books, it's always short, concise and fully informative.

How quick I brought the series!

Another great story with brilliant characters in Clifford and Birdie. Absolutely fantastic narration as always.

Excellent all round

Love this series. Great narration as usual from Mr Keeble. I felt this book was a bit rushed and not long enough to better develop the characters. Not as good as previous books, but still enjoyable. Would probably not bother with the next book if it is equally as short.

Not long enough

Gutted to finish the book, I miss the characters already, can’t wait for the next one please! Perfect narration from Jonathan Keeble. Listened over two evenings as couldn’t wait to continue the story. Thank you Sally Rigby.
