About this listen

Hope is the last thing to die.

DCI Simon Fenchurch has everything under control. His marriage, his family, even his job, where he’s starting to lose the imposter syndrome that has plagued him. But a mysterious death on the border with the City of London leads Fenchurch into a murder inquiry crossing three jurisdictions.

All signs point to one man. Dimitri Younis, recently released from prison and running the East End with an iron fist, spreading his talons into London. And even more determined to appear to be squeaky clean.

As Fenchurch homes in on a witness with evidence that could put Younis away forever, the tables are soon turned. Is Fenchurch going to be the last thing to die? Or will it be the hope that he can live a normal life?

The fact it was over so soon :) I wish it was twice as long the story gets you sucked in

The twist in the story

Another cracking instalment in this series by Ed James, and Angus King providing excellent narration as always. Intrigued to find out what the next book holds.
(Meanwhile, I keep hoping that Fenchurch’s wife might be less annoying).

Very engaging

Only the narration saved this latest instalment. The addiction story was really too much and he and do repetitive and boring I nearly stopped. It could quite easily have been a side issue but the main storyline. If you miss this one I don’t think it would make much difference to the overall series!

It was ok!

I can't rate this one any higher. It seems that Fenchurch has run out of oomph I got bored during this one and with 3 hours to go am really struggling to find the plot Also a bit bored that our hero SUDDENLY decided he was an addict and started to fall apart at an alarming rate. Disappointed overall. Saved from a 2 by Angus King
