Story
A marriage is what you make it, isn't it? It's what you put into it. It's not just about love; it's about understanding another person's point of view. Sometimes there are things you find out about yourself and each other, which means the marriage has to end. Sad, particularly when kids are involved - but all pretty normal. Normal, that is, until there's a murder.

Story
When a body is found in a locked house, Detective Sergeant Jessica Daniel is left to not only find the killer but discover how they got in and out. With little in the way of leads and a journalist who seems to know more about the case than she does, Jessica is already feeling the pressure - and that's before a second body shows up in identical circumstances to the first. How can a murderer get to victims in seemingly impossible situations and what, if anything, links the bodies?

Story
On an isolated farm in southern Ireland, a decades-old grave houses the dismembered bones of 11 women. Detective Superintendent Katie Maguire of the Irish Gardai is used to bloodshed, but these white bones speak of unimaginable butchery. Not far away, a young American tourist is at the mercy of a sadistic killer. His tools are a boning knife, twine, and a doll fashioned from rags, nails, and fish-hooks. The murder of his victims is secondary only to his pleasure at their pain.

It was 2:47 a.m. when Chief Inspector Alan Banks arrived at the barn and saw the body of Keith Rothwell for the first time. Only hours earlier two masked men had walked the mild-mannered accountant out of his farmhouse and clinically blasted him with a shotgun. Clearly this is a professional hit - but Keith was hardly the sort of person to make deadly enemies. Or was he? For the police investigation soon raises more questions than answers. And who, exactly, is Robert Clavert?

Women are rarely cold-blooded killers. But when famous philanthropist Hugo Fletcher is found dead, there is no doubt in anybody's mind that the killer is a woman. And it is clear from the precision of the planning that this was no crime of passion. It was an execution. The victim was revered the world over for his charitable work with trafficked Eastern European prostitutes, and as at least one of these girls is missing, Detective Chief Inspector Tom Douglas is certain that there has to be a connection.

Summary
DS Jane Bennett takes charge of South London's Lewisham murder squad following the temporary suspension of her boss, DI Mike Lockyer.
His involvement with a female witness resulted in her murder. Mike returns to work, but he's a shadow of the detective he was a few months before. Bennett gets a desperate call from an old friend to say that her husband, retired colleague Mark Leech, has gone missing. Blood spatters found in the home suggest she doesn't have long to find him.
When Jane is sent to a site in Elmstead Woods, she stumbles upon a sinister murder scene. A tomb has been created, and the body she finds is not Mark's - as she dreaded and suspected - but that of missing university student Maggie Hungerford. Her killer recorded her last moments, even providing an air supply which was cut off only when the game lost its thrill.
Two men admit to having had a sexual relationship with Maggie. Both deny murder. Someone is lying. And Mark is still missing. When another tomb is discovered, an anonymous tip and mounting evidence suggest a disturbing link which threatens to derail both cases and let a murderer walk free. Lockyer is shocked into supporting Bennett in a case which becomes ever more ominous and dangerous as the investigation deepens. They know that their hunt is for a killer with a mind so twisted that he or she is likely to stop at nothing.
After ten years in London, working for a city law firm, Clare Donoghue moved back to her hometown in Somerset to undertake an MA in creative writing at Bath Spa University. Never Look Back was her first novel, and in 2011, whilst still an unpublished manuscript under the title of Chasing Shadows, it was longlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger.

Abandoned it halfway through!
What did you like about this audiobook?
Having listened to Book 1 I was looking forward to becoming engrossed in a good mystery with characters I was already familiar with. I was gripped at first by a sensational plot, but was completely bored by constant analysis of the character's personal lives which were pretty boring anyway.
How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?
I wouldn't bother listening to any of this series of books again.
Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?
I found myself wishing it would come to the point of a particular scene/ event without detailing points which had already been covered. I was easily able to come to ceratin conclusions way before they were revealed in the storyline.
What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?
AWFUL!I have never heard such a childish and manufactured attempt at a man's voice, which was unbelievably irritating. It was almost embarrassing to listen to.
Do you have any additional comments?
Don't buy it!

Too much soul-searching!
I really appreciated the first book in the series and although the actual story line is very good a great deal of the beginning of the book is taken up with the lead detective wondering about her relationship with Lockyer and his behaviour. She is also occupied with questions of being a woman in a man's world etc. Added to this the narrator of the first novel was a pacey reader with a versatile voice whereas this reading is sometimes far too slow for this genre. This is not a great work of philosophy so a ponderous pace is not suitable. There seems to be a trend in modern detection novels to spend too much time on trite reflection to the detriment of the intrigue. I think it is only very few who manage to bring off the use of the intrigue as a metaphor for an investigation of the mystery of human nature. That said the book is still worth a read.

Great Thriller, Brilliantly Read
Any additional comments?
It's the second of two books with some of the same characters and I got it because I liked the first book so much. It's an excellent thriller, very sinister and keeps you guessing until the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it is brilliantly read by Imogen Church, who is a very accomplished audio book reader. It runs along at a nice steady pace. I would definitely recommend it but you should get the first book first before you get this one.

Don't be sucked in by reviews on Amazon
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
nothing
Would you ever listen to anything by Clare Donoghue again?
unlikely
What didn’t you like about Imogen Church’s performance?
too slow and ponderous. Rubbish at male characters like a child putting on a man's voice, slow and deep.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from No Place to Die?
i would cut most of the book, so it's not really an appropriate question for me. To be fair much could be the fault of the narrator, but I am finding, more and more, that English police detective novels are all the same. I found this dull and samey.
Any additional comments?
i downloaded this on the basis of the positive reviews on Amazon. It was only several dull hours into the book I checked them again to read in more detail and find out why I believed they were so far wrong. There will always be differences but you generally find a good spread of reviews. All the positive reviews at the time I purchased the audio book were by people given free copies. You can call me cynical but I've yet to see one negative review from any of these readers. My fault I should have scrolled through the full reviews rather than skimming. The length of them should have given me a clue.

I struggled with this.
It could just be me, but it took me weeks to finish this one. 99% of the books I listen to get finished in a couple of days, but I really struggled to get into it. I found the narrator didn't really bring anything to the characters personalities, and I really just found it difficult to listen for long periods until it got right towards the end, and even then it was just to get it finished so that I could move on to something else.

Good plot but...
On the whole a very well written book but I do feel like something was missing as the outcome for me personally was very obvious half way through the book. I was however left thinking “fleetingly” hmmm maybe I’m wrong but a lack of conclusive writing left me back to yep I know whodunnit.
Enjoyable storyline though & I did still enjoy the book.

Another great British Police procedural
step aside, Linda Lapllante! Ms Donognue has crafted a superb novel , multi-plotted, twists and surprises all the way. The characters are strong, trying to bring justice when the rules get in the way. Each character is very human, doubtful often, but courageous. I look forward to future Clare Donoghue novels.

I think I initially got this book because it is narrated by Imogene Church who could narrate warranty information and make it compelling.
The story kept you guessing and was very well written. I will be listening to Clare Donoghues other books no matter who the narrator. I'm a new fan!

Good plot. Good narrator. OK writing.
Any additional comments?
A good plot for a crime thriller and overall a good ‘listen’. A team of British detectives, headed by Inspector Bennett, have to find the perpetrator of a string of murders, the first being the rape and murder of a young woman, the subsequent ones involving the burial alive of people, presumably to study their fear reactions via camera. It turns out to be more complicated, as the real perpetrator is a madman who is using the researcher’s less-than-ethical work to carry out the murders for his own motives of jealousy and revenge. It’s dramatic and kept me listening in spite of my complaint with the writing: My complaint with the writing is that there is a bit too much of the ‘daily life’ details like getting dressed, putting the car in gear, etc. and too much description of inner emotional turmoil by the main protagonists, Inspector Bennett and Inspector Locklear. It’s the sort of writing that Tami Hoag does. It gets tedious after awhile. I’d give it a 4 for story and reading and a 3 for the writing.

painful
it's rare that I consider quitting a book - I resisted the urge to give up, but I couldn't wait for this book to be over. now that it's over, I wish I had just followed my instincts and quit the book. there are too many good books out there waiting for me to read them to to waste time on this. I can usually trust that a book with a 3.9 average rating on Audible will be at least moderately enjoyable, but not this one

Boring!

A mystery but not a thriller. There is so much introspecting it distracts from the story.

No

She was a little overly dramatic.

What did you like best about No Place to Die? What did you like least?
The story had potential, but the "twist" at the end was not unexpected for me. I was distracted by the reader's male voices. She would lower her voice, but then the speaker would take on a strange regional accent in addition to the lower tone.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I would not have the narrators jump around in time. I would get rid of the stuff between Lockyear and the woman detective. Lockyear's personality changes were never explained. The female lead never seemed confident in herself.
Would you be willing to try another one of Imogen Church’s performances?
No
