A CHILLING NORFOLK BROADS CRIME THRILLER!

A haunted crypt, a bullied boy, and an artist’s will: a benevolent gesture or a satanic curse?

When the body of a local artist is found mutilated inside a five-pointed star, DCI Tanner’s attention turns to the disciples of a Satanic cult. But when the man's body is discovered to be the cult’s leader, Tanner's interest is soon drawn to his will, and the five beneficiaries who’ve been named in it.

Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a dark cozy Norfolk murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance, one that will have you guessing until the very end, when the last shocking twist is finally revealed.

The Bastwick Testament is a totally addictive gripping crime thriller, the twelth in a chilling series of serial killer books, ones which will rapidly convert followers of L J Ross, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, J M Dalgliesh, and Elly Griffiths into David Blake devotees.

I was at first so disappointed to hear that Johnathan Keeble would not be narrating this latest book, but I have to say that I have throughly enjoyed this latest story! I listened to it so quickly and just didn’t want to stop - after only a few chapters I was totally used to Peter Wicks’ fantastic narration and loved his portrayal of the regular characters. Following Johnathan Keeble must have been a difficult task but he has managed to find their voices brilliantly, respecting the previous books whilst also adding his own stamp on them. An absolutely fantastic listen with wonderful narration, a truly lovely surprise!

What a lovely surprise!

Brilliant story. Lots of one liners and humour from John Tanner. Probably the best book of the series id say. Great twist at the end. Can't wait for the next one. Love this detective.

different narrater after 12 book, totally spoiled the series in my point of view, no disrespect to the new narrator

good book

Used to love these stories, but sadly this one seems tedious. The narration is slow with odd pacing. Won't buy any more of these unless they go back to Jonathan Keeble.

Adequate story ruined by narration
