About this listen

The darkest secrets lie right beneath the surface.

On Boxing Day a mystery woman’s body is found washed up under Teignmouth Pier. She has no ID but is wearing a wetsuit. When the post-mortem shows heavy metal poisoning, DI Jan Talantire is called in.

Talantire herself is caught in an ongoing game of cat-and-mouse against her nemesis Commander Brent West. Her complaint against him for abusive behaviour foundered when she was accused by the investigating panel of collusion with another complainant, PC Nadine Lister, to bring West down.

With her career hanging by a thread, Talantire discovers that the route to solving the mystery is tangled up with the death of the woman on the Devon Coast. Brent West, it seems, will go to any lengths to protect his career.

And that includes murder.

A razor-sharp, suspense-filled crime thriller from the million-copy bestseller, perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves and Elly Griffiths.

This really was the most compelling of all the Tallentire books so far. I simply could not stop listening !!
I really hope there will be more cases for Jan T in the future.
Thank you everyone involved.

Fantastic!!

I listened to this in a day and a half. I'm not a crazy obsessive listenen, I was recovering from eye surgery and so reading screens wasn't an option, whereas having it read to me was ideal. I love Jan. She's real and the person we'd all love to have as a friend. I love how the book deals with the difficulties of proving someone's wrong doing when there is a wall of silence when reporting professional misconduct. I hope we hear from Jan again soon, she's awesome.

Had me hooked !!

What a thriller!

I’ve read all 4 books in this series and really believe in these characters because it’s so well-narrated/performed. This is the best book yet and the sub-plot around corruption and misogyny in the Police force is very believable.

A male author who is ‘for women’ and writes believable female characters is always a bonus!

I thought the storyline was excellent and expertly narrated. Good strong characters and plenty of suspense.

Held my attention.
