Summary
Change is afoot at Kings Lake Central police station. A most unexpected new detective inspector takes up his post this Monday morning, and the oldest detective in the place takes a momentous decision.
Around them, other officers are considering their own situations, and even the building itself seems to be facing an uncertain future. But life and death go on, nevertheless, and by lunchtime someone will make a grim discovery on the Norfolk saltmarshes. A stranger seems to have suffered a slow and agonizing death out there.
As the team from Kings Lake uncover his story, they reveal another, much older one with its origins far back in the previous century. In the tide that governs the affairs of men, it seems, love and loss, betrayal and revenge are timeless themes. Fans of Colin Dexter, P. D. James, and Ruth Rendell have all found much to enjoy in DC Smith's previous investigations.

Great story, as always, but the Welsh accent is bloody awful.
Great story, as always, and I usually love this narrator but the Welsh accent is bloody awful.

Great.
Another great book in the Sargeant 'DC' Smith series. I am listening to the books in order and am really enjoying each one. The narration was first class.

A tale of twists and turns.
Loved this book, as well as all in the series, so far. The narrator is perfect. The characters are just delightful.

A pleasantly enjoyable surprise for a free with membership listen.
I’ve listened to loads of modern day free detective audiobooks just to pass the time, and I’m usually constantly having to fast forward through the badly written soft porn sections and the unnecessary bad language. This book was such a refreshing change. I actually ended up listening to it twice. The humour and characterisations kept my interest throughout and it became a proper “listen” rather than a “passing the time” audiobook. Once I got used to the narrator, I found his voice suited the part, and there was definitely a Radio 4 Robert Robinson Points of View vibe going on here!

Brilliant
Hope this isn’t the last one in this series as I enjoyed this book very much. From book one you get inside the characters and feel you know them but ,you never do ,so keep reading.

Wonderful series/outstanding narrator
The DC Smith series is excellent, with a protagonist who is a brilliant investigator with a wonderful, wry sense of humour. The secondary characters are well developed too. I'm so glad this narrator does the entire series. The books are well written, with some moving prose. Highly recommended.

A wonderful series
This whole series is fantastic; I listen to them all again in order at least once a year. Intricate plotting, convincing and compelling characters, a great deal of heart and soul. Far superior to Morse/Frost/Banks etc etc.

Best yet
This series about DC Smith is one of the best I have listened to. Gildart Jackson gets the humour exactly right; he is a brilliant narrator, you really feel as if the story is actually happening in real time. He also makes Smith incredibly attractive (to me, anyway) as his intellect, wit and wistfulness are very attractive, and rare, traits in a man. Peter Grainger writes so knowledgeably on police work, but also on the different personalities involved so you really get to know them and want to know more. I am going to miss DC and his team, and hope the next book, with DC as a private detective? is just as involving. Please keep them coming. Peter Grainger should be lauded as a brilliant writer in this genre and I wonder why he is not a household name. He should be.
