Summary
When Detective Inspector Terri Marston takes on the case to prove the innocence of suspected murderer, Leonard Fallon, a number of strange events begin to occur during the investigation. At first she believes them to be purely circumstantial, until she witnesses a man being thrown from a roof by an unexplainable invisible force. It is after this that Terri comes to discover that an incorporeal being may be aiding her in her investigation; for what reason she does not know, but she suspects that someone close to her may have the answer.

Interesting but too much crammed into 1 book
Murder mystery plus supernatural elements – what’s not to love? I had solid expectations going into this story as it sounded like a tale I would really enjoy. There’s a lot of good things happening here but there’s also some things that bogged it down a bit. So, for me, it was a mixed bag.
Detectives Terri Marston and Michael Horton aren’t perfect people but they are dedicated to solving the mystery. They don’t always follow the rules, but Terri has a lot of questions for Horton, and he’s hesitant to explain. I really liked the interactions between these two characters and I liked them individually too.
The supernatural elements were a little clunky. They’re several info dumps that bordered on boring. And sometimes a character suddenly had a skill that conveniently got them out of a problem. You can do that once or twice in a book, but do it too often and it dilutes the plot. By the end of the book, I felt that the story tried to capture too much: sex trafficking ring, assassination attempts, inheritance scam, supernatural spirit walker dude, chatting with other spirits, the spiritual world dubbed Torment, an actual police investigation, etc. If the book was twice as long, I think all these elements could have been done well and woven together seamlessly. However, as it stands, certain parts were rushed and others parts crippled with info dumps.
So let’s talk a bit about Torment because this was a very interesting idea and I did like some parts of it. I especially liked the idea that most people in a coma have their spirits haunting the area, sometimes going for short walks near their medical facility. I had a great visual with the spirit magnets which tether a spirit to a body.
The ending is a little sinister. The main threads of the story are wrapped up with the main antagonist explaining hows and whys. While I could appreciate the wrap up, it also felt a bit like yet another info dump. Anyhoo, there’s definitely room for a sequel and it would be interesting to see what Terri decides to do with her new found info about Torment. 3.5/5 stars.
The Narration: Helen Birchall was OK. She did quite well with Terri’s voice, sounding like a professional cop. Her male voices could use more masculinity and there sometimes wasn’t much distinction from one character to the next, so I had to pay close attention to follow which character was talking. The pacing was good and there were no technical issues with the recording. 3.5/5 stars.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Quirky police procedural
Boundless in Torment is a quirky and very different take on the police procedural thanks to its supernatural element. It is an engaging witty read with quite an intricate storyline and more than a few twists and turns and some ‘what the hell’ moments! The ending was satisfying, and made me wonder if there might be a sequel?
I listened to the Audible version and although the narration was ok, I wasn't convinced by some of the accents.
