About this listen

A murdered mother. Drug dealing unchecked. Can Detective Drake achieve justice when so many have failed?

When drug addict Dawn Piper is found dead in her own home, her neighbors are far from surprised. Dawn’s habit led her to mix with some dangerous people. But this quiet mother of one was small fry. Would anyone want Dawn dead?

Inspector Drake knows there is more to Dawn’s murder than a simple drug deal gone wrong. As he digs deeper, he discovers that Dawn hoped to clean up the streets of her community that are being overrun by drugs and the dangerous County Lines gangs that sell them. And it cost her her life. Have the police force failed the community they serve?

Drake is used to the murky world of organized crime groups. He knows the dirty games they play to evade arrest. But in his toughest case to date, Drake is determined to make the guilty pay.

This time, they will have nowhere to hide.

Nowhere to Hide is the seventh book in the dynamic Inspector Drake crime series. If you like clever mysteries and engrossing listens, then you’ll love Stephen Puleston’s Ian Drake novels.

another winner from the puleston Elfynn combination hear as inspector Drake and his team investegate the murder of Dawn Piper, a seemingly reformed drug user. this book tackles the subject of county lines drug dealing which is an timely issue for this series to tackle.

We are currently living in strange times and this was the perfect read to curl up with and forget what is happening. Drake and his team feel like old friends now that we are 7 books in to the series and it's good to see Drake's pri?ate life really beginning to fall in to place.

the other members of Drake's team seem to be coming in their own as the series develops and it will be interesting to see how Drake interacts with his new boss as the series continues.

a timely storyline

As per usual the narration and storyline kept me enthralled. It was like putting on an old pair of slippers. I think Richard Elfyn is brilliant. Great range of voices with a warmth that makes his voice so familiar and comforting.

Storyline was good too with an ending that I didn’t see coming. Very pleased that all the characters are getting a good chance to shine and make a difference. What a team.

There are a few verbs used that have another connotation these days and even though they perfectly describe the action taken, they did make me cringe a little..just a little.

Off to download the next one.

Another fab instalment

This is an Inspector Drake novel well thought out, likable character a little bit of OCD but getting better, and now he has a new love in his life. This story starts with a murder and the author has a good knack of painting a picture of the victims and started with this poor soul a drug addict always trying to get herself clean to no avail, quite an intricate story and Puleston does get it right. A great story believable and very little swear words if any, good procedures, likable well-described characters and area description brilliant one can imagine being there. One of his best, whether you read or listen I have done both the book some time back and now the audio version the narrator as always does a fine job.

A Great Listen

I just absolutely adore everything about this series - the writing is great, the narration by Richard Elfyn is fantastic and the cases get better with each instalment.
I also love the huge improvement in Drake's private life - having listened to this while in Corona lock down I couldn't help but think that I wouldn't even wish a lock down with his ex wife on my worst enemy!
Highly recommended, but I'd start at the beginning - whilst they work as stand alones Drake's development makes more sense in chronological order.

Wonderful series, fantastic narration!

Drake is back. That’s it he’s back I’m won over
These are one of the best books I’ve read or listened to.
Simple as that.
I adore Drake his idiosyncrasies & his attitude. So glad he’s getting his life together.
He takes no crap & deals with his job head 1st. The team are fab characters & they mix well, even with their annoyances at each other.
This story delves into drugs & local gangsters.
Excellent.
Narrator as always, spot on, kept me interested & the story rolling exactly as always does.

Just excellent
