About this listen

If you can't live with the truth, bury it....

Following a devastating encounter with a serial killer, Detective Inspector Freya Bloom is left mentally scarred. After a six-month sabbatical, and with no desire to return to the bustling London streets, she accepts a position in rural Lincolnshire in search of a slower pace of life.

But with London behind her, and a new life in the wild fens of Lincolnshire before her, she finds only endless drama in her new team, a tortured romance in her only ally, and crimes so deadly even the steely determination that drove her to success is tested.

From the moment Freya’s expensive heels hit Lincolnshire soil, the push-pull relationship with her sergeant begins. Noses are put out of joint, tempers are frayed, and more importantly, a body is discovered on a wild beach. There’s no time to make friends. If Freya is to make her mark in this remote county, she must work with the team she’s been given and untangle the web of lies surrounding the death of teenager, Jessica Hudson.

Can Freya ditch her designer heels for Wellington boots and adapt to the country life? Can she shape her new team into something workable? And can she put her past behind her long enough to prevent a second murder?

Secrets in Blood is the unforgettable first book in the Wild Fens Murder Mystery series by Jack Cartwright. Filled with twists, peppered with romance, and flavored with humor, the Wild Fens Murder Mystery series is perfect for fans of JD Kirk, JM Dalgliesh, Ann Cleeves, and Rachel McClean.

Good story and characters. The narrative by the narrator was so so laboriously tedious. He was monotone in his reading, he needs to do bedtime stories to help you sleep. He very nearly makes me turn off but I stayed with it wanting to know the story.
Overall good story line. Freya… a bit unbelievable she would have not been allowed back in the job but let’s see how that pans out.

Good story line.

The misplaced audio effects spoilt a fantastic story great detail it does not need the tinny and may i say poor audio effects
Just let the narrator tel the tale

Outstanding story But

I usually listen to a book at bedtime. The narration certainly sent me to sleep. An interesting plot . The characters are being developed slowly. The author obviously has it in mind to write a series and is keeping his powder dry.

Good story ruined by the narration

Hurrah! Another author I hadn’t come across before and there are at least 4 more books to listen to. I really wasn’t sure about the narrator but I persevered and his style grew on me. This is a really good police procedural, interesting characters, plausible story and for once I didn’t guess whodunnit! Highly recommended

Excellent
