About this listen

Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life. Little did he know....

Bones in the water

Two skeletons are discovered in Lamentation Tarn, a mountain lake. Talented detective Mike Nash and his team have little evidence with which to work, until a surprising discovery prompts them to contact law enforcement agencies in Eastern Europe.

A gripping, fast-paced mystery with some stunning twists

A joint task force is formed to uncover a criminal network involved in prostitution, drugs, and human trafficking, but Nash's preoccupation with internal politics, as well as with an attractive Russian detective, proves to be a distraction.

A breath-taking crime thriller perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, DS Butler, or Peter Robinson

Finally, a young victim escapes the gang's clutches, providing Nash with much needed evidence. A search of the neighboring tarn yields evidence of even more heinous crimes. Who else will die before the criminals are brought to bitter justice?

Couldn’t follow the story as the characters weren’t distinctly portrayed and the generic northern accent was distracting.

The poor accents

Not a bad story and narration is good but I do wish Nash would keep his trousers on a bit more.

The story line good if somewhat distressing at time looking forward to the next read

The plot

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
A reasonably good storyline, but a bit far fetched in some parts. Terrible narration, spoiled it somewhat, but I would still read books by author Bill Kitson in the future.

Very transparent in places

At first this reader had read hopes for wHat Lies Beneath, a detective story based in Yorkshire following the trail of brutal child sex traffickers. But a combination of the lead character, D.I.Mike Nash, constantly declaring the inhumanity of sex offenders whist simultaneously flirting with and bedding most females he encounters as his girlfriend struggles to recover from previous injury (and this pursuit a standing joke amongst his colleagues) plus the awkward reading by narrator, John Lee - odd accents, hard to distinguish between protagonists - left me rather underwhelmed.

Some occasional nice one liners, though, like calling Mike Nash a 'hands on policeman '.
