About this listen

Alex Walters is the best-selling and critically acclaimed author of the DI Alec McKay series. Winterman is a gripping serial killer thriller which will appeal to fans of Stuart Macbride and Mark Edwards.

DI Ivan Winterman is a man with a troubled past. The Blitz has left his young son dead and his wife seriously injured. He has made enemies in high places, and, with his career going nowhere, he returns to his home town in East Anglia, seeking to rebuild his life in a country gripped by postwar austerity. As the snow begins to fall, a drunken ex-clergyman stumbles on the semi-mummified body of a small child concealed in a ruined cottage. Days later, a second child's body is found in a Fenland dyke. Winterman, supported by a small team of assorted misfits, finds himself uncovering a web of secrets in the small rural community. When a further murder victim is discovered, Winterman discovers that the secrets are darker and the threat far more immediate than he'd ever envisaged.

Enjoyed the story and the characters. Wasn’t keen on narrator as he kept pronouncing some words in a weird way, but it didn’t distract too much.

Interesting and a bit different

Bit long winded & over-egged the story…could have been completed sooner & more effectively.
Narrator needs to learn how to pronounce words… such as
Trough…troff….not Trow and
Nous.. nowse… not noo or nous in the french style … many more too… very irritating.

Fair storyline & characters… just long winded & padded out unnecessarily.

OK story

Enjoyable and interesting plot line, set against the backdrop of early post war England. Good characters too. Only criticism is the narrator’s odd pronunciation of some words; surprised they got past the edit. Otherwise, recommended.
