When a body is found in a locked house, Detective Sergeant Jessica Daniel is left to not only find the killer but discover how they got in and out. With little in the way of leads and a journalist who seems to know more about the case than she does, Jessica is already feeling the pressure - and that's before a second body shows up in identical circumstances to the first.

It was 2:47 a.m. when Chief Inspector Alan Banks arrived at the barn and saw the body of Keith Rothwell for the first time. Only hours earlier two masked men had walked the mild-mannered accountant out of his farmhouse and clinically blasted him with a shotgun. Clearly this is a professional hit - but Keith was hardly the sort of person to make deadly enemies. Or was he? For the police investigation soon raises more questions than answers. And who, exactly, is Robert Clavert?

Summary
A nerve-shredding suspense thriller from best-selling author Nick Louth. Trapped is perfect for fans of Cara Hunter, JP Delaney and Rachel Abbott.
In Manchester, two hardened gang members on the run take Catherine Blake and her one-year-old son hostage at gunpoint. She is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Held in a Transit van, Catherine needs a plan fast. But it means diving into her captors’ risk-drenched world, and playing them at their own game.
Catherine has been through cancer, miscarriages and five draining years of IVF in order to have her son Ethan. He is the most precious thing in the world. She may be terrified out of her wits, but she’d do anything to protect him. Anything, no matter the cost....
Brace yourself.

God awful narration
Oh my word who on earth choose this narrator in all my years on audible I have never heard such an awful voice. It droned on and On monosyllabic with no expression throughout. It was such a shame because I love Nick Louth books with DI gillard and they have a great narrator. I only persevered because people said it had a good story line. So please god NEVER use this narrator again

BORING READER
Being a fan of this author I opened this book with high anticipation. Unfortunately, having only read a couple of chapters (probably not enough to comment properly) I had to stop reading because the narrator was so toneless and boring. Perhaps he was trying to be sincester as the plot may warrant but he nearly drove me to sleep or dink, take your pick! If I had read this book by this author first, I would not have touched any of his books with a barge pole but, thankfully, having read other titles narrated by a far more expressive and interesting narrator, I will give Nick another chance.

Good story plot, poor narration
In the first few minutes I nearly gave up due to dreadful whiney narration, I even thought there was an error on the narration speed, but stick with it because plot is quite good fast paced action with twists and turns. However I won't be listening to anymore from this narrator

Great story but some glaring errors
Things that should have been easy to look up weren't, like Royal Marsden the Cancer hospital somehow becoming a neuro specialist centre.
That said, the story was exceptional and gripping from start to finish.

Narration spoils a great story
Bought this book as I’d really enjoyed Nick Louth’s crime series. For once I didn’t try a sample first and if I had I wouldn’t have bothered. The narrator’s voice is weird and really difficult to listen to. I persevered and discovered that the story was compelling. What a shame the overall experience was not great and that the narration is so distracting!

Good storyline
But dreadful narration. As others have said the male narrator really does spoil the book. It’s the worst narration I’ve ever heard. I was all for giving up and returning it. I’m glad I persisted because it did grate less on the nerves the more I listened. The females northern accents are also dreadful people up north don’t all have the IQ of a slug! I live around Manchester so was interested In the story around the Moss side Maffia

The narrator makes my ears bleed
I usually enjoy books by Nick Louth but this one is just terrible. The narrator is so monotone and speaks at this pace that’s too slow and just irritating. I had to return the book after a couple of chapter because I couldn’t stick with the actual story. I hope audible will record another copy read by someone that doesn’t sound like they are are recovering from a cold.

The story itself was good, but the male voice actor was awful. When it switches to the female actor, the story becomes much more enjoyable.
