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.

Story quite interesting though slow. I usually like Keeble as a narrator but I felt he was accentuating every other word to make it interesting which just makes it tiring.
The author was intent on including as many quirks of the times as he could which I thought was very clumsy.
After the first half I was keen for it to be finished.

Clumsy writing
