About this listen

Luke flung the light of his torch full onto the face of the immobile figure. Then he had the shock of his life. The man had no face! Where his face should have been was a sort of inhuman, uniform blank!

When a body is found at an isolated garage, Inspector Meredith is drawn into a complex investigation where every clue leads to another puzzle: was this a suicide or something more sinister? Why was the dead man planning to flee the country? And how is this connected to the shady business dealings of the garage?

This classic mystery tale is set amidst the stunning scenery of a small village in the Lake District.

Nicely read, dull characters and non gripping story. Not quite agatha Christie. reasonably enjoyable but not a page turner...

nicely read, dull characters

Possibly a man’s story ? Started really well —-then the murder got lost 🤷‍♀️
It became all about a ‘ petrol fraud. ‘ …. ( that ultimately led to the murder I guess )
I just lost interest .

Disappointed

Makes a change from the usual detective story. Main character has no flaws, no hidden family secrets and it isn't actually very exciting. But well written and a nice piece of nostalgia.

Slow and somewhat outdated

This start very well but seemed to loose it's way and became quite boring!
I have read others and enjoyed them put would not recommend this particular book.

lost it's way !

a very different style but well worth the effort ...you feel like the detective himself, painstakingly working through the false leads and turns to the logical conclusions

not agatha but still intriguing...
