About this listen

Liverpool, 1961. A group of young men come together seeking fame and fortune as the fledgling sounds of the Swinging '60s take root in the city. Soon, Liverpool becomes synonymous with the groups and music that shape a generation.

Liverpool, 1999. Skeletal remains found in the docklands lead Detective Inspector Andy Ross and Sergeant Izzie Drake into a journey through time as the investigation takes them back to early days of the Mersey Beat.

Whose bones laid beneath the mud of the River Mersey for over thirty years, and what links them to a young woman missing for the entire time?

I really enjoyed this book. Only a few dodgy moments withe the accent. Some strange long pauses in the narrative, but otherwise a really good listen.

Very enjoyable

Interesting tale well worth the listen. Having grown up in Liverpool and still live there I enjoyed the local references . Some of the accents were a bit odd but the tale was strong enough to carry you through without it spoiling anything. All in all very good.

Good tale .Dodgy accents

A beautiful and heart wrenching story within the intrigue of a gripping thriller that at the end had me in tears. Perhaps because I identified strongly with the period I found this audio book a wonderful look at a bygone period told through an investigation of modern technology. I thoroughly recommend this book.

Beautiful story

Found this book quite moving - lost love and unfulfilled dreams. I know nothing of the police apart from reading novels, but I felt as though this had realism and professionalism that is lacking in a lot of police procedurals. Good story - listened in one sitting. Narrator had some strange pronunciations and random pauses in dialogue BUT was very good at being able to differentiate between characters.

The story is so good. Sad and keeps you wondering.
However, the narrator is bad. Tries to speak with a scouse accent, but it’s so bad, and just sounds very monotonous.
Big breaks too, in the middle of sentences that make you think there’s something wrong with the audio.
I bet the writer is very peed off that their book has been read by this woman!!

Great story, bad narration!

This is a very interesting plot, although a little shaky. My biggest bugbear was with the constant mispronunciation of everyday words ie indictment pronounced indict ment. Very irritating, and I found it distracting. I agree with other reviewers vis a vie the accents. They were a bit all over the place. Having said all that, overall it was enjoyable.

I don’t normally leave a review as I listen to so many books but this one just touched my soul, I listened in one day as couldn’t stop listening!
The story was absolutely brilliant I fell in love with the young characters and felt their whole presence it was obviously not hard to know from early on what had happened but I still wanted to hear every single word to the end and when the end came my heart aching, totally overwhelmed by the sheer amount of emotions that I felt and loved everything about this story I will definitely listen to more from this author, outstanding book 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow

Enjoyed this book. Nostalgic and intriguing. Good story but a little far fetched. Good narrator.

Gripping

I really enjoyed this audiobook, and, on the whole it was well-read. However, someone should have corrected the incorrectly pronounced words that, for me , slightly took me 'out of the story'. That said, I would recommend it. It's well worth a listen.

A good listen

From start to finish it was a brilliant story. I like the fact it had stuff about the Beatles and told a lot about the eras past and the present in the story.

Good read.
