Southern Spain. It is in Semana Santa - Holy Week - and the heat is building up in the city. This is always a difficult time for the police, with thousands of visitors adding to thousands of hooded penitents parading through the medieval streets. In the modern slums and the fine old houses of the rich and influential, some have secrets going back to the terrible days of the Civil War. When a hideous double murder is discovered on the first day, the men of the force - and visiting female academic, Maria Gutierrez - know they are in for a long week... Crime Fiction Mystery

Hewson is such a good writer...this kept my attention from start to finish, with some unexpected twists and some excellent characterisation. Barrett is one of my favourite narrators...highly recommended.

Thoroughly enjoyed this

Good story and great narration. Felt it got a little confusing and hard to follow the plot twists and character connections towards the end though. Overall still loving Hewson’s books and already looking for my next listen by him.

Good story though a little confusing near end

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

If my friend had many summer hours to waste, yes I would recommend this novel. Finding a worthwhile listen, once abandoned, means you are pretty desperate. The author himself has expressed some regret at the flaws in this, an early novel. It is so repetitive and full of dragged out, overwritten sections. Almost every chapter has an ' overblown,' overdone section which shows a lack of ability by the writer to drag himself away from the paragraph. Groan. Some interesting use of language.

Has Semana Santa put you off other books in this genre?

Not at all. We, the Great Listeners remain hopeful.

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

Thank goodness for Mr Barrett's voice. One can at least relax whilst one could be very irritated.

Could you see Semana Santa being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

It has been made into a third rate, unsuccessful film. It is not surprising. A shame nonetheless because the exotic locales, the very interesting historical flashbacks, the " usual suspects" character types could feasibly have made a reasonable, short, TV series. In fact, there are at least two that spring to mind. Perhaps the bull fight focus was too difficult to stage.

Any additional comments?

Again, as a potential listener I would have appreciated being forewarned of more of the brutal topics covered in the text. Arguably reviewers want to avoid ' spoilers' but I for one would like to know if offences against minors, torture or other sensitive areas are included. Interesting paradox.

Well written but who forgot to edit this?
