About this listen

A murder with no weapon or motive. A detective on edge. A community that wants answers. Impurity is the first in a series of six books featuring Leeds based Detective Inspector Stewart Gardener.

One fateful night, DI Stewart Gardener intervenes in a street brawl, and his wife is shot dead. Finding his wife’s murderer is never far from his mind, but with no leads and a hazy recollection of events, it seems hopeless.

Soon he is presented with a shocking case. A man is found dead in a grubby apartment, and It is not long before another man meets the same fate. The deaths are caused by a rapid disintegration of the victims’ flesh.

Pathology cannot ascertain the cause. The only connection between the victims is they both worked seasonally as Santas. Who would want to kill such innocuous men as these? Can DI Gardener overcome his grief and solve the case?

Good story. What a way to die, gave me chills. Narrator was good but his Irish accent wasn't, me being Irish it was some what painful to hear. But none the less was still a good listen and I will continue the series.

What an interesting story. It was extremely well plotted, and the main characters were believable and interesting enough to make me want to know more about them. I could listen to Mr Wagland read the ingredients on a sauce bottle. I got this from the Plus catalogue, but I shall be buying the next in the series. Highly recommend
