About this listen

Meredith is keeping secrets from Hodge which can only lead to trouble and raise questions as to whether their relationship can survive. But their personal issues must take a back seat as Meredith investigates a series of mysterious and motiveless murders. His interest in proving the innocence of the main suspect is raising eyebrows.

Patsy Hodge takes her first major case as a private investigator. She needs to find out if a successful business woman was raped by a colleague.

Both cases need to be solved before Meredith and Hodge join the murder victims.

Ill Conceived is the second book in the Meredith & Hodge series. If you like great storytelling, surprising plot twists, and compelling characters, then you are ready to meet Meredith and Hodge. Buy Ill Conceived today.

I enjoyed this book as much as the first. Very well written and narrated .
A great pace , kept me guessing and a great twist, Loved the characters, flawed and believable. We have action, romance , twist and turns oh yes suspense.

With D.I.Meredith.And Patsie Hodge now officially a cohabiting item, one of them had to give up their p!ace in the Bristol police criminal depatment- and it wasn't going to be Meredith. To his initial horror, Hodge makes a sideways move into the privatesector, to join Chris and Sharon's successful P.I. company as a partner. There's a new boy in the team, too, young, red haired, fast tracker Louis Trump who just happens to call the Super 'Uncle David'. There will be murders to solve and an unpleasant character to route out: but first they must deal with Patsie's stalker.

This is the second in theRewith and Hodge mystery series although it can be read easily as a stand alone. The real pleasure of these books, and this is no exception is the marvellous and realistic interplay of the ongoing relationship between the two principal protagonists, sometimes fighting with each other as they continue to fight crime in this excellent British police procedural. And it is not just the lead characters who are given a realistic life story, in varying degrees all emerge as far greater than mere paper cut outs. This is further enhanced by the narratkr, Led Bedow, whose down to earth E blush voice breathes life into them all, with individual voicingS for the numerous personalities, and mostly with good accents. A fine, low key performance which lets the writing itself shine.

I am very beholden to the rights holder of Ill Conceived, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy via Audiobook Boom. Thank you so much. As with book one, I really enjoyed this story set in Bristol, England although the action could take place I many large towns of cities. A clever 'slice of life's which brings great characterisation and dialogue, crime and who-dun-it?, together with thrills, the odd tear, romance and humour. Great fun. A good read. Recommended.

The best proposal I never heard.

I received a free copy of this book in return for an unbiased and impartial review.

I’ve had this series in my library for a while and only got round to listening to them at the start of the year. I love to listen to book series together when I can and this one certainly hasn’t been a disappointment.

The story is excellent and narration really good, I’ve been put off by certain narrators in the past who’ve dampened what could have been great books but I thought the narration and story in this instance complemented each other brilliantly.

Great listen

I have read other books in this series and thoroughly enjoyed them but to listen and hear the characters come to life was excellent! There are many twists and turns that keep you listening and wanting to hear more. I guess there are two stories here, the relationships between the main characters and also the plot. Although one reaches a conclusion, the other leaves you more than keen to listen to the next book! Narration is a huge part of an audio book and Lee does an excellent job.

Loved It!
