Summary

No Past Forgiven is the third audiobook in the Dublin Murder mystery series. It will appeal to fans of authors such as Peter James, L. J. Ross and Ruth Rendall. 

Crime and criminals keep getting in the way of Detective Garda Sergeant Mike West's personal life. The woman he loves is living in his house, in his spare bedroom. It should be simple, but it isn't. He has a solution. A romantic weekend away, in a lighthouse on Clare Island. A stunning place, a beautiful woman. What could be more perfect? 

When one of the islanders dies in a bizarre and a tragic accident, West is roped in to help. But it isn't an accident, and there is more than one suspect. There's also more than one secret. Can West solve the case before someone else dies?

Brilliant Books

Am so enjoying this detective series. The plots are well thought out, and have lots of twists and turns. The guy who reads it is perfect I find his voice so relaxing so looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Thank you Valerie Keogh

I am loving this series, it gets better and better, but...

The Narrator is getting worst!! In this book, he decided to whisper the story 🙄🙄. At some points I could hardly hear what he was saying. His female accents are just awful. Not sure why folk are so negative about the bedroom scenes. I think they are tastefully done and bring a different angle into a police procedural series. I am a big fan of this author's storytelling. Thank you.

Good detective story.

Strong plot, believable characters and narrator was easy to listen too.
Story line keeps you guessing and wanting to listen more.

Wasn't disappointed!

Couldn't put this down. it is just as absorbing as previous 2 . Wish there were more books narrated by Stephen Daly who pitched his soft Irish lilt just right - I could listen to him all day!!!

I gave the story 4 stars simply because I couldn't quite accept that a civilian was allowed to attend and participate in Gardai interviews.

Suspend disbelief and prepare for dodgy accents

Adele is like the Midsomer or Shetland of Foxrock, she certainly attracts drama.
Not a bad story but stretched credibility.

OK aside from the cringey bedroom scenes

West and Andrews are a good pairing, and the setting of a remote island was a welcome change. Hapless Edel has now stopped being a victim (from her appearances in the first two of the series) and is now a full time femme fatale and, if I am honest, a nuisance wherever she appears in the plot. The bedroom/balcony/shower scenes were cringeworthy to listen to and would have been rapidly leafed over I had been reading the book. Added nothing to the plot and Stephen Daly sounded embarrassed to be narrating these sections.

Working Edel into the story also led to various unlikely scenarios where she seemed to be permitted to come along on official police business like some sort of spectator.

Decent enough murder mystery though, with some odd family dynamics, 30 year old secrets, hidden passageways and smuggling thrown in.

Too much cringey sex.

The story is as we can expect from this series. It kept me amused whilst I cleaned the house.
