About this listen

DI Zoe Finch has been in Cumbria long enough to know who’s pulling the strings in organised crime, and who’s helping them from within the police.

But just as she’s closing in on the evidence to prove it, she finds herself scrambling in the fallout from the murder of a key witness, and struggling to keep the case out of the hands of the very man she suspects of orchestrating it.

Can the women rescued from a human trafficking ring help Zoe wrest back control of the investigation? And does a seemingly unrelated murder on the other side of the Lake District hold the key to bringing her enemies to justice?

With the team thrust into unfamiliar roles and the whole station under investigation, the stakes have never been higher. Can Zoe and her team hold it together under mounting pressure?

The Wood is the sixth book in the gripping Cumbria Crime series, featuring DI Zoe Finch from the best-selling Deadly series.

I have accidentally written above what I needed to say. Other than all these books are brilliant and the narrator Jan Cramer is brilliant I love this narrator. The new Scotland ones maybe have a choice of who reads as I understand that it’s in Scotland BUT I just can’t follow. The pauses and drama of the voice etc just is not there it’s a big upset as I can’t listen to that part of the series. If anyone has an idea or knows how I can change the narrator for that series. It’s an absolute shame that I can’t be the only one. It’s just dead pan and no difference in the pitches etc if u know how I can jacnk2103@btinternet.com

Narrator is brilliant Jan Cramer and the books are amazing
