This is the second DI Max Wolfe book which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Love the narrator he seems to get the character spot on.
This is unashamedly good v bad a good detective story perhaps not for the faint hearted.
A well to do family are slaughtered in their home and the only survivor a young child is abducted.
Thereafter DI Wolfe is on the case. We are gradually learning wee snippets of his personal life and it leaves you wanting more.
Love this series - next one please.

Loved it!

I do like Tony Parson, I do like his characters and don't get me wrong, it's a good story but every now and then I found myself saying, what? what? what policemen would charge in there on his own? What detective would take a key clue off to show a witness before bagging tagging and printing it? I'm not a big fan of police procedurals, but there are limits. Perhaps just a bit more of an edit before publishing?

Good story - just a few issues with the procedures

I found that this book went into too much detail when it came to bodily parts and added nothing to the story, except to “pad it out”. I really wasn’t interested in how the body decomposed. Also, some of the characters sounded very quite and slow ..... therefore, I had to turn the sound up and then all of a sudden there would be shouting and would have to turn the sound down!

I purchased two Tony Parsons books and then realized that I had listened to another Tony Parsons some time ago and wasn’t impressed with him then, however, I thought these might have been better......unfortunately, they weren’t.

Didn’t enjoy.

I've read quite a few Tony Parsons book and I like the DC Wolfe books. I love listening to Colin Mace the narrator and can't praise him enough. He really makes the characters come to life.

Great story
