About this listen

Some lies will never stay hidden.

When the body of a teenage boy is found in the River Witham, it falls to DI Freya Bloom and her team to raise the truth from the depths.

The boy, nicknamed Simple Simon, was a troubled soul. But when Bloom digs deeper into Simon’s life, she discovers that not only was he the victim of a viscous cyber bullying attack, but also suffered sexual abuse. Was his death a shocking teenage suicide, or does somebody have a terrible secret to hide?

With four potential suspects in the firing line, and guilt in every one of their eyes, Bloom must make some difficult choices. But as the investigation progresses, one thing becomes abundantly clear—Simple Simon wasn’t as simple as everybody thought. In fact, he was smarter than them all.

Never to Return is the chilling sixth book in the brand-new British crime series from USA Today best-selling author Jack Cartwright. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, JM Dalgliesh, Rachel McClean, and Ann Cleeves.

I love the fact that Jack Cartwright doesn’t skimp on length of book (Audible listen). He gives his readers a great story for their money. I am so pleased I can go straight to 7 as I came across series late. Oh and great Narrator too.

Another excellent story

It wasn’t bad but after his other books this is the most disappointing. Narrator was good as usual.

Too much padding

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

What was afresh book was ruined by the number of characters that replied with the response “eh?” Found myself shouting at the phone very irritating and just not necessary!

The retort “eh?” Did my head in

Fabulous book from start to finish! My heart was in my mouth at a particular point!

Twists and turns that keep enthralled

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Great series. Love the characters, the plot, the narration. I’m going to be very sad when I get to the end of the series! Keep writing Mr Cartwright!

Another great one
