About this listen

Only eighteen black people live in Kingsmarkham. One of them is Wexford's new Doctor, Raymond Akande. When the doctor's daughter, Melanie, goes missing, the Chief Inspector takes more than just a professional interest in the case.

Melanie, just down from university but unable to find a job, disappeared somewhere between the Benefit Office and the bus stop. Or at least no one saw her get on the bus when it came. According to her parents, Melanie was happy at home. She had recently broken up with her boyfriend but, until now, there had been no cause to worry about her. And no one liked to voice the suspicion that something might have happened, that Melanie might be dead...

Most of the voices were good but Wexford's was awful.It wS difficult to get beyond and very distracting.

Story good but the way it was read quite annoying

I'm really sorry but I just could not get on with the narration on this one.
For some reason the voice for Wexford made him sound reminiscent of Mr Bean and it really put me off.

Narration doesn't suit the book.

I love inspector wexford, this all started from a missing black girl, but turned out to be a lot more sinister, the storyline, is quiet, distressing, if you're going to listen to it, I advise you to do it during the day
