About this listen

Good people do bad things

Bad people do good things

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference…

Gina's body has floated down the River Esk. She was a farmer's wife. And it looks like an accident.

But Michael Brady has his doubts.

Brady's back in the police–and he needs to prove himself.

Is it murder? Or does Brady need it to be murder?

It's a year since his wife died. He's feeling lonely. And he's still trying to balance being a single dad and being a Detective Chief Inspector.

Brilliant story. Kept me engaged throughout the whole narration. The story was excellent. The narrator is brilliant. I am grieving- Mark Richards died whilst writing his sixth book in this series. Also I am grieving as only two in this series are available on Audible.

The Characters- I loved all the main characters
