About this listen

Seven drownings. Three months. Who is to blame?

Lauren is fed up with covering local small-town news in Northern England. The bride-to-be and mother-of-one dreams of recognition and accolades as a national journalist. Yet, the dark and disturbing reporting opportunity that lands on her doorstep is one she would never have invited. When it is thrust on her, she is duty bound, both professionally and personally to investigate.

Lauren is the voice for the women whose lives have been cut short in the river Alder. She will not stop until she discovers the link that binds the deaths together and gets justice for them. But she is a lone voice, overpowered by the police and other officials. Lauren has to make herself heard, even when this compromises her own safety.

Her police sergeant fiancé begs her to step away and leave it to the police. Seven drownings, she continues to argue, in three months, warrants blame. How can the deaths of these innocent women be deemed accidental?

Described as a whodunnit novel with a twist in the tale, don't miss this Yorkshire crime story.

The story is interesting and the writing is very good and pleasant to read. My problem with the story was actually the main character, I did not like her. Like, at all. She was pushy, reckless, sometimes TSTL and I never quite grasp why she thought it was murder in the first place, seems kind of forced. Anyways, it's rare for me to like any reporter character because they all seem so entitled and reckless, here it was no different.

I looove the narration, the best part of the audiobook for me was hearing Naomi Rose-Mock bring life to the characters.

I was given this review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

This is the first time I have listened to one of Maria Franklands books and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was narrated by Naomi Rose Mark and she did a really good job. Her accents were authentic without being over the top and it was easy to differentiate between the various characters.

The book itself was another winner for Maria. Luckily I had two reasonably lengthy train rides to endure so was really able to settle down and watch the world go by whilst the story line became more and more gripping.

I foolishly thought I had it all worked out but I was only partly correct. How could I not have factored in the Maria twist. The first thing I did upon finishing this book was order the next one in the series.

Enjoyable listening

Really enjoyed kind of suspected the killer but didn't take away from the book at all for me. Really felt for Mark and liked that the story was told through the eyes of more then one character.

What starts as a engaging and entertaining serial killer police procedural is turned on its head by the shocking twist at half way, becoming an intense heart breaking story. The story is superbly written with strong characters and a great mystery. When women begin to be found drowned In the river and the police dismiss them as drink curled accidents, Lauren begins to suspect a more sinister reason. I liked that some of the chapters are told from different characters perspectives. And the sheer intensity of the emotion in the second half. , I thought I had it all figured out until the final chapter which opened everything up again for book 2. Narration by Naomi Rose-Mock is excellent who despite being American manages a decent British accent. I received a complimentary copy of the audio from the author and am leaving a voluntary honest review

intense and heartbreaking
