About this listen

Two young British students, Nazim Jamal and Rafi Hassan, vanish without a trace. The police tell their parents that the boys had been under surveillance, that it was likely they left the country to pursue their dangerous new ideals. Seven years later, Nazim’s grief-stricken mother is still unconvinced. Jenny Cooper is her last hope.

Jenny is finally beginning to settle into her role as coroner for the Severn Valley; the ghosts of her past that threatened to topple her, banished to the sidelines once more. But as the inquest into Nazim’s disappearance gets underway, the stink of corruption and conspiracy becomes clear.

I enjoyed the fact that the plot kept moving forward and it was nice to see a female as the lead character in a crime/thriller book for a change. It's a pity that she was such an irritating flake! The alcohol problems, drug problems, psychological problems, poor parenting, divorce, neediness, two-timing, constant self-analysis and navel-gazing made it hard to find anything with which I could empathise. Narration was brilliant though. Overall, a great listen let down by the fact that I hated the main character.

Great series!

Interesting slant on investigating crime. I do get a bit fed up of hearing how often the coroner takes medication but the story line is interesting and holds your attention to the end.

Enjoyed

Would you consider the audio edition of The Disappeared to be better than the print version?

Since buying an iPod some years ago I don't read the printed versions of the books I have downloaded for listening, but have no doubt that the printed version is as excellent.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Disappeared?

As usual it was when Jenny gets the truth.

What about Sian Thomas’s performance did you like?

Her interpretation of Jenny Cooper seems to be perfect so please do not change the narrator. Her voice has no affectations which can be really irritating in some books.

Another gem
