Summary

Life is good for DI Dan Hellier until the discovery of two headless, handless bodies buried in a bog on Dartmoor.

How can he identify the victims when nobody has reported them missing? The tension mounts when the death of a young man plunges Hellier into the murky world of the Garrett family. Could the peaceful, family-run Animal Rescue Centre really be a cover for murder and other criminal activity?

Hellier is about to learn just how far people will go to get what they want, as he races to catch a murderer before it’s too late.

If you are a fan of Joy Ellis, Faith Martin and LJ Ross, then you'll love Bernie Steadman's new West-Country Crime Mystery Series.

Please note this is a revised edition of a book previously published as Death and the Good Son by B. A. Steadman.

Great Detective Series.

A thoroughly enjoyable detective series. Great plots and well written. Refreshing to have pleasant, down to earth characters within the police force.
Well narrated with good characterisation.
I hope Ms Steadman will write more in this genre.

Great local fiction!

Coming from near where these books are set, I really enjoy these police procedurals. The characters are well written and on the whole, the narration is good (occasionally the accents veer towards Bristolian, and Topsham is pronounced incorrectly)

Loved this story

Loved the characters and the story line. The narration is hugely improved now the narrator has got into his stride and slowed down a bit.

Good story

2nd one I’ve listened to, really enjoyed it, solid story and plot. I’ll be listening to the 3rd one next. As a Devonian it’s lovely to hear stories set in the local area.
There’s just one little annoyance: Topsham which is mentioned numerous times is mispronounced. It should be Top-sham not Tops-ham.

Believable characters and great story

I enjoyed spending time with the characters in both the first and this second book. Interesting stories that kept me wanting to know more. Well narrated. I’m looking forward to listening to the third book.

I care about the people and want to follow them
