About this listen

A vicious murder. A case close to home. DI Simon Fenchurch is back. Rekindling his marriage helps put their shared trauma behind him. He's finally living his life again. But on a busy London street, Fenchurch and his wife witness a young woman being attacked in broad daylight, the vicious killer leaving her bleeding to death on the pavement.

Fenchurch pursues the attacker through a warren of backstreets and eventually arrests a young hoodie with a cache of stolen phones—an "Apple picker" on the make.

An open-and-shut case, but something feels off....

Was this really just about a smartphone? Why did the victim look unusually nervous before she was targeted?

And why don’t the prints on the murder weapon match the young man in custody?

Before Fenchurch can probe further, his superiors remove him from the case, convinced he has let the real culprit run free.

But Fenchurch is determined to get to the truth, uncovering a conspiracy that reaches high above the street gangs of London. And below the surface.

Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Mark Billingham, JD Kirk, and Alex Smith, Worth Killing For continues the best-selling Detective Simon Fenchurch series of gritty police procedurals.

I generally take to DI Fenchurch stories, but this one left me a little disappointed. Overall, I think Angus, as narrator saves this story which is a little convoluted, and some of the characters are lacking depth and need more development.

I am really enjoying this series. Angus King's performance is, as always, incredible and he goes from character to character with ease. I find, however, that Fenchurch's back story is at times interfering with the dramatic storyline in each book - though this itself may in time reach a dramatic conclusion. Nevertheless, these books are excellent, full of twists and turns.

Another very enjoyable listen

DI Fenchurch continues to grow on me and I love the London location references - so many places I recognise - onto book three straightaway

Bishopsgate’s finest

Enjoyable book and well narrated by the talented Angus King. I’m looking forward to the next book although I fear I might start to get a bit bored of the sad back story about their kidnapped daughter. Also we still have the odd character of Mullholland who swans about and I feel I’ve missed something there.
Anyway, I do recommend this series. Enjoy.

Good Book

Great plot. Well narrated as ever. But goodness, would love to see Fenchurch grow a pair, stand up to Mulholland - who is an almost unbelievable character. Would also be nice to see the wife loose a bit of her fragility. They have had a horrendous experience but they almost seem to be totally defeated and don’t fit the great plots.

…. a bit of a wet noodle.,,,
