I enjoy listening to Joe Mills, who brings out the action and characters to you ears.

DI Grant is recuperating after been hurt in the line of duty, at the summer home of his former boss. His old boss had given him some cryptic instructions. Again making Grant take on an investigation that could get him killed!

Well I think I have found my new favourite detective ( whatever rank he is at this moment) the story itself was very well written with enough twists and turns even at the ending. Grant is no choir boy.

I liked the setting itself and Cornwall become a character in the story. Bringing in the impact of second homes on the economy was very interesting.

The narration worked really well and each character was unique. I even liked the sound effects which I normally dont like, but they were unobtrusive.

Great listen a new favourite series

Overall pretty good but some smack you in the face stereotypes - know-all London cop, narrow-minded and obstructive yokel cop, incompetent country-bumpkin police force.
This doesn’t reflect the Cornwall that I live in hopefully it doesn’t reflect the anti-terrorist squad or we’re all in trouble.
On a positive note, if reading this puts off arrogant know-all cockney emmets from crossing the Tamar, then I’m all in favour.

Not sure this will go down well in Cornwall

An easy listening type of book the plot and story are there but possibly a bit easy to suss out how it will pan out. Looking forward to the next DI Grant adventure and to see if there’s more intrigue with some added twists and turns.

Interesting opener
