Summary

Hugo Duchamp, a Frenchman living and working as a policeman in London, is about to have his world turned upside down. Called upon to return to his native country where he has not been for over a decade, Hugo finds himself embroiled in the murder of a child and a town ripe with corruption. Warned not to investigate the first murder, he soon has no choice when a second child is murdered. The first in a new series of exciting adventures with a very modern and different hero.

Good story with captivating narration.

Hugo Duchamp Investigates, a murder mystery set in an otherwise quaint French town, but like so many, there is a dark underbelly lurking beneath the picturesque facade, and I didn't see the end coming - the storyline deals with some vile disturbing crimes of child abuse and murder.

I think if I had read the physical book I may have got distracted with the French cast, defining who was who, but with the skilled defined voices for each character, the narrator Henry Douthwaite kept me on track.

I find myself quite attached to Hugo Duchamp as a character, he is flawed, with a closet full of skeletons.
It's not all gruesome murder, the unexpected love story that runs through was a welcome addition - no spoilers!

It was an expected enjoyment, out of my usual reading material, but thoroughly enjoyed.

Great book

loved the story It built up nicely and towards the end i couldn't stop listening wanting to know what happened. The preformance from Henry Douthwaite is outstanding. He plays the many characters superbly and his natural voice is so soothing. I will be looking for book 2 when available.
