Summary

The debut crime thriller series of the year!

Four missing children, three murdered men and the helm of a boat with a blood-red sail, hiding a secret only he can tell.

Returning to the Broads after nearly two years at sea, John Tanner moors up next to a boat to find the body of a man whose five-year-old daughter is nowhere to be seen. As a torrent of unwanted memories begins flooding through his mind, an attractive Broads Ranger arrives at the scene with a disturbing tale; one of children being taken by a ghostly figure, standing at the helm of an old wooden boat.

Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a dark cozy murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance which will have you guessing until the very end, when the last shocking twist is finally revealed.

The Wherryman is a totally addictive gripping crime thriller, the sixth in a chilling series of serial killer books, ones which will rapidly convert followers of L J Ross, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd and J M Dalgliesh into David Blake devotees.

Another great Norfolk Broads thriller

Great story and wonderful narration. Had me committed from the start and then I had to keep reading/listening until the climax. Can't wait for the next one!

A brilliant, fast paced book

I have enjoyed all of this series immensely & this definitely did not disappoint. A. great plot, with some brilliant twists, expertly brought to life by Jonathan Keeble's always excellent characterisation.

The Wherryman

A very well structured story which left the reader considering various options until the last moment. Thoroughly enjoyed the book which brought back memories of my time living in Norfolk

Great Mystery

Another great Tanner mystery. I thought I saw the ending coming half way through but a great twist in the storyline showed otherwise. Great characterisation once again by Jonathan Keeble.

Still loving these books

Another corker in the series. A great plot with interesting characters. And, as always, faultless narration from Mr Keeble.

Superb

I have been waiting so long for this book to come to Audible (probably because Jonathan Keeble is such a popular narrator and gets booked up quickly!) and it didn't disappoint.

I wondered what would happen to DI John Tanner after the devastating events in Horsey Mere. Would things ever be the same? Well David Blake managed to surpass all my expectations and delivered a brilliant 6th book in this fantastic series. The action takes place two years after Horsey Mere and Tanner is a different man. The story is so gripping that I listened in one sitting. Just the thought of the ghostly Wherryman sailing an old wooden boat with a red sail, stealing children, was enough to give me goosebumps! Can't wait for the next installment.

As always the narration was superb, and Mr Keeble was worth waiting for :-)
