About this listen

In the Welsh borders, isolated by heavy snow and flooding from the thaw, cut off from telephone access, a tragedy has occurred. Old Dr Robinson known to be 'a menace' on the roads has met his end in a car crash, his big saloon thrown from the track down the steep hillside. But when the police arrive there is more to the tragedy than meets the eye: why was there a second body - an outsider to these parts - in the back of the vehicle? As the local inspectors dive into the muddy waters of this strange crime, Chief Inspector Julian Rivers and Inspector Lancing of Scotland Yard are called to investigate, with danger and deceit lying in wait among the lonely hills and authentically evoked landscapes.

Old fashioned detective story

A well-plotted detective story with a satisfying solution and a carefully modelled cast of characters. As always with this writer, the sense of place is incredibly strong, with abundant spacial details and vivid observations of rural life incorporated in an unforced way into the narrative. The writer clearly had a profound emotional and practical understanding of what it meant to live in remote country areas in the 1940s and 1950s, at the mercy of the weather and dependent on good relationships with family and neighbours.

I found the narration easy to listen to and the accents subtle. I’m not from the Welsh borders, but the intermingling of Bristolian and Welsh sounds seemed plausibly accurate.

Another great story from an underrated writer

Another great story from Carnac. Very well narrated making it a pleasurable listen. Plenty of twists and turns but it is Carnac's knowledge of the period and society coupled with her ability tp describe every day events with accurate detail that really bring the story to life. Hopefully there will be more recordings of her books.

Excellent listen, great story.
