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

I loved the characters, the storyline, a very easy listen, the narration was superb, wish there was more of this series on audible, why are they not there?

Very enjoyable

The writing snd narration are excellent. All the characters are totally believable and I’m really sorry there isn’t an audiobook of the entire series. The narration was excellent and really helped round out the characters. I have downloaded the rest of the series on my kindle and after looking for more books by the author was saddened to learn that he died in 2024. I can highly recommend both the audio and written works.

Love everything about this series
