About this listen

The price of truth is death....

When a man falls from a church tower in a remote Lincolnshire village, a devastating chain of events is triggered that will not only change the landscape forever–it will rewrite history. The only clue for Detective Inspector George Larson and his team is a hand-typed memoir signed by the victim.

Chapter by chapter, Dean Worthing unveils the brutal details behind his childhood, his brothers, and the savage family charged with their care.

Urged by his senior officers to label the death as a suicide and to close the investigation, George seeks surety in Worthing’s memoirs, searching for the tiniest detail to prove them wrong.

When he reaches the final chapter, he is left with little doubt. There is more to Dean Worthing’s death than meets the eye, but to find the killer, he must face his demons.

The end of memoir brings a dramatic conclusion. But for one individual, life is just about to begin.

The Harder They Fall is the second book in the latest murder mystery series, the Deadly Wolds Mysteries by Jack Cartwright, the best-selling author of the Wild Fens Murder Mysteries.

Some aspects of this story were predictable and the police seemed slow at remembering things ,otherwise it was an entertaining if not gruesome tale

I’m addicted to The Deadly Wolds Mysteries. The characters are great and you find more out about the lesser roles. The stories are fantastic. Jack Cartwright is fast becoming my favourite author. Graham Mack as narrator adds to the atmosphere of the story.

Great plot twists

Really starting to enjoy the characters and their developing relationships. The book is well narrated, plot line plausible and held by interest until the end. This is the second Jack Cartwright series I have tried, and will certainly purchase more in this and other series by this author.

Engaging....

A captivating story with many twists and turns. Looking forward to the next one. I hope there will be more to come in this series.

An exiting and original story which I struggled to put down even though the subject matter was heartbreaking.
