About this listen

Forensic pathologist Richard Pryor uses his 'golden handshake' to set up in private practice with scientist Angela Bray. A friendly coroner gives them a start, and when two women both claim that human remains found near a reservoir are their relatives, the dilemma is given to them to investigate. Set in 1950’s post-war Britain, this thrilling new series is set during the emergence of forensic science.

This was a very new and original story line which I found very enjoyable. It was written in a part of the country I remember as a child which added to my interest. The suspense continued to the end. However the narrator did not qualify for 5 stars because of his poor pronunciation of Welsh words! For such a good narrator that was a shame as it caused a lot of annoyance! I hope there is a follow up story.

The suspense set in 1950s

Great narration of a well crafted story. As always Jonathan Keeble made you feel relaxed and able to concentrate on the story. Often a narrator distracts. Lovely simple gentle story full of fascinating detail

Loved this easy to listen to title. The narration was excellent and the characters so likeable. Fascinating to hear how forensics began and how far the science has evolved. Highly recommended.

A joy to listen to - set in a simpler lifetime.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, it has a good story line and interesting characters; it sets the scene well for policing and forensic science in the 1950s and plays on the current enjoyment of all things nostalgic!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Probably Richard, the main character; he has an unusual background and seems like someone you would like to know

What does Jonathan Keeble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I enjoy his variety of voices (there is only one that doesn't quite fit). He is easy to listen to and I like a good story while I'm working.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No not really, it isn't that kind of book but I was very glad when they finally found the evidence to convict the murderer!

Good story and easy listening

Really enjoyed this about CSO before high tech or DNA - love the characters and the unfolding home unit.

I would recommend even though many may find it a little slow perhaps.
