You can hide, but you can't run...

When the body of a church warden is discovered hanging from the belfry of a village church, DI Tom Janssen and his team must investigate the circumstances that led to his death.

Whilst navigating the fallout from the conclusion of their previous case, the Norfolk CID team is under intense scrutiny with another police force investigating their recent conduct. Some people would like nothing more than to see the team fail. With no clear motive for murder or a reason to take his own life, the team have little to go on.

Meanwhile, a hit and run accident on the Sandringham Estate leaves a pregnant woman in hospital and when the fleeing vehicle is located - abandoned beside a coastal sailing club - the investigating team find more than they bargained for when they look inside.

The hunt is on for a brutal murderer whose motives and goals are unknown, and when other interested parties appear in the area the stakes are raised further. Just who are the hunters, who is watching, and, more importantly, who is the prey?

Watch and Prey is the latest book in the Amazon #1 bestselling series, by British crime writer, J M Dalgliesh, the multi-million selling author of The Misty Isle and Dark Yorkshire books.

Haven’t listened to one in this series for a while and forgot how annoying Det. Cassie Knight is, the constant comments and sarcasm wear me out and although the narrator is good, it may just be the Geordie accent he’s given her make her more annoying than if you were reading the book. Regardless the story and characters are decent and the narrator is great overall so I’ll always get the new releases as they come out, although I rue Cassie Knight almost getting killed in the last instalment as a missed opportunity, LOL.

Good narrator and decent story.

This was absolutely gripping and truly one of the most intricate plots I think has been done in this series. What an ending, I can't wait for book 16

So pleased to be back with DI Jansen & his team. Another great book, with excellent narration.
Jason Dalgleish obviously has a good sense of humour, naming a character in an audio book Alexa! Did get a bit irritating after a while, with Alexa asking what I wanted!!!

Another great book
