Summary
From Kindle Storyteller-Shortlisted Author...a Serial Killer Thriller
The glamorous CEO of an anti-abortion charity has been found horribly mutilated and strangled to death in her own kitchen. Before long, the killer strikes again, and again. And now the pattern emerges. The victims are all high-profile Christians.
Back from the brink of killing herself, and newly promoted to DCI, Stella Cole takes a call from her sergeant that puts her plans on hold. Stella and her team at the Special Investigations Unit are racing to stop the serial killer dubbed “Lucifer” by the media, before he can take another life.
To add to Stella’s problems, London’s ambitious Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime is interfering in her investigation, and someone on the inside is leaking details to the press.
A gritty and disturbing psychological crime thriller....
Let The Bones be Charred is the fourth book in this series of hard-hitting crime thrillers. Following Stella’s recovery from the murders of her husband and child, it brings the troubled detective face to face with a serial killer with a grudge against the Church. The action takes place in the long hot summer of 2018.
Can she track down and stop the killer before any more women are murdered? Including the wife of a university professor who may, just, hold the key to the killer’s motivations and methods.

Give up on the regional accents
I absolutely love this series of books but please Helen Moore stop with the accents I actually find myself fast forwarding some of the book to get by the cringe worthy Scottish accents 🤦♀️

Excellent story
The Stella Cole stories are well worth reading/listening to and this one would have had 5 stars in all categories, were it not for the extremely irritating attempts at characterisation and accents by the reader.

Good story but terrible accents
The narrators accents were so bad that it ruined the listening experience. Not only did they sound nothing like they should have but they kept changing throughout. So the Welsh character veered between west midlands, manchester, liverpool and india. The character supposedly from Edinburgh did sound vaguely scottish but her accent changed every time she spoke, and the Yorkshire accent was simply a parody of a northerner. If an author is using characters with accents then audible should ensure the narrator can do them.

More conventional but still thrilling
Stella Cole's fourth outing is much more like a polIce procedural than the first three - and the serial killer's activities are certainly not for the squeamish - but this tale is as compulsive as the earlier ones. Stella is on a much more even keel as she, together with a strong team ( plus a few less helpful characters) wade through the clues in pursuit of the killer(s).
If you can live without Stella's detailed back story you could probably start with this book and maybe treat it as a standalone - but you would be missing out if you do not start with the first book - 'Hit and Run'.
On the down side, I do not think the narration as good in this one - some of the accents were not brill. I thought Helen E. Moore's narration in the first three audio books was suberb; I note that she is not narrating book 5 - which is a shame as far as an concerned, as is the fact that she does not appear to have narrated anything else.
I will be pressing on with great anticipation to the next audiobook.

Excellent read, should be 7 stars!
I generally just tick the star rating. But on this occasion had to leave a review. The book was brilliant. What a wide ride. I was swept away by this tsunami of a story. If you love crime thrillers, this will not disappoint. Thank you Andy Maslen. Can wait to read book 5 now.

Outstanding fourth book
I was dubious, when I started listening to this one, i was convinced I'd already read/listened to it, so familiar was the introduction, however, I could not have been more wrong, this is one amazing book, all of this series has been amazing but this one seems even better than the first three, possibly because of the long wait I've endured for it to be released, but I enjoyed it immensely.
It is true that the narrator is not good with accents, at all, but she is a good narrator nonetheless and should not be discounted because of her terrible Scottish (and other) accents, she does have some irritating mispronunciations that drive me mad too but we all say things differently and this should not be held against us.
My recommendation is that you buy this if you've enjoyed the previous Stella Cole titles because you will LOVE this one, if you've never tried them, then start at book one (Hit and Run), you'll not be sorry.

Great take but awful narration
This is a good book spoilt terribly by the narrators efforts at regional accents. Her Scottish accents are appalling and at times impossible to understand

great story - terrible accents
the book was great (as expected) but the accents attempted were terrible... get past this and it's a fantastic listen.

Really Good Stuff
Only gripe. I wish the narrator would not try to do Glaswegian or Edinburgh accents. As a proud Weigie they really do not work. If I had not been told in the book I would have no idea what they were supposed to be. They did not add to the book and to my mind were pretty pointless anyway. Apart that a real good listen very well read.
