About this listen

Returning home from a police conference, DCI Boyd catches the last train back to Hastings from Brighton, unaware that he's about to play a central role in what will become a sensational news story.

But Boyd is reluctant to get caught up in the media hype or have his face plastered across the tabloids, particularly when what happened aboard the train may be the final act of a horrific and tragic story.

I almost gave up in the 1st book in the series, I just couldn't get into the first half, it felt a bit too numerous at the start but am so glad I persevered . each book in the series has gotten better and better, this one especially was moving, kept you wondering until nearly the end.. very brave to cover this topic but it was sensitive even though a work of fiction .

Yet another riveting listen !

Story had some very eye opening issues which we all need to be reminded of, so we learn. It goes to show we just to conclusions for the latest fear in the world when history holds the real truth. Great book to listen to highly recommend it

Loved it

The story is excellent, as are the others in this series. As for the narration, I could listen to Aubrey Parsons reading a bus timetable and enjoy his voice and inflection. The author is quite correct that man's inhumanity to his fellow men seems to be just as prevalent today as it was in ancient times. Isn't one of the definitions of insanity "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome?

Wonderful! I managed to find this missing book from a brilliant series.

Another good story , helping the reader understand how evil acts are covered by war ,
But not forgiven by the people who had to suffer them ,

Good as usual

As usual, a brilliant performance from Parsons! The story itself was a sobering reminder from the past, for those of us that remember that time history. A refreshing read of a terrible topic!

Great listen!
