About this listen

Discover the gripping crime thriller from bestselling author Wes Markin

Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, J M Dalgliesh and Rhys Dylan.

Still grieving from the tragic death of her colleague, DCI Emma Gardner continues to blame herself and is struggling to focus. So, when she is seconded to the wilds of Yorkshire, Emma hopes she’ll be able to get her mind back on the job, doing what she does best - putting killers behind bars.

But when she is immediately thrown into another violent murder, Emma has no time to rest. Desperate to get answers and find the killer, Emma needs all the help she can. But her new partner, DI Paul Riddick, has demons and issues of his own.

And when this new murder reveals links to an old case Riddick was involved with, Emma fears that history might be about to repeat itself…

I haven't read Wes Markin before but overall I found this a good book, with plenty of threads, a few twists and turns, and few red herrings thrown in the mix. However it did have some flaws: I found some of storylines a bit over done. The two main detectives have a lot of traumatic history, perhaps too much to be believable. I found their lack of professionalism and more so Riddick's aggression being overlooked and unremarked upon by colleagues and seniors alike made this story feel unreal. I was also disappointed that the signposting was too obvious making the ending of the investigation less impactful.
Generally though the pacing, the narrative and the excitement of the book kept me involved and wanting to find out what happened.
The Narration was ok but I felt that it was a bit forceful and shouty- even when not played particularly loudly. Not enough so that I won't look for more in the series but enough to need a break between books.
Overall 3.5 stars
Narration 3 stars
Story 3.5/4 stars.
