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 bestselling "Deadly" series.

great story and the narrator really brings the characters to life. Only four stars as I'm still seething that it ended so abruptly on a cliffhanger and being referred to the next short conclusion available...err where was it? an e-book from a website? off to find 'the pool' any minute.

What use is ending the an audio book on a cliff hanger say “continues in ‘the pool’” when it seems impossible the get an audio version of “the pool”

Even the text version has to be bought!

Not happy!!!

Makes wary of buying book 7

The ending!
