Summary

The start of a crime thriller series from Wes Markin, bestselling author of the DCI Yorke series.

Still grieving from the tragic death of her colleague, DCI Emma Gardner continues to blame herself and is struggling to focus. So, when she is seconded to the wilds of Yorkshire, Emma hopes she’ll be able to get her mind back on the job, doing what she does best - putting killers behind bars.

But when she is immediately thrown into another violent murder, Emma has no time to rest. Desperate to get answers and find the killer, Emma needs all the help she can. But her new partner, DI Paul Riddick, has demons and issues of his own.

And when this new murder reveals links to an old case Riddick was involved with, Emma fears that history might be about to repeat itself…

Easy listen police drama

Easy listen police drama set in North Yorkshire. Predictable in places but moved at a good pace and I enjoyed listening to this while crafting. Good narration too, with nice variation between characters to make it easy to follow. Overall a good listen.

Ok but not very gripping

The narrators female voice was annoying and sometimes the characters merged which made it hard to follow at times

Gripping story

It's been some time since I discovered Wes Markin and thereby Aubrey Parsons. Back then I enjoyed the work of both, and went down the rabbit hole of following the narrator.
Over 300 Audible books later and looking for something familiar until the new releases I am awaiting are released, I stumbled on Wes again! Oh happy days! They are such a great team! Characters are engaging, story is fast moving and I enjoyed it so much I listened in just two sittings!
The next two books are in my library! Sorry, gotta go now 😃

Great Start to a series

I enjoyed the plot, the revenge aspect of it in particular. The two Detectives were interesting characters, the backstory of Gardner in particular will hopefully give an interesting sub-plot for further books. Narrator did a good job portraying the different characters and the drama/emotions. Looking forward to reading more of the series.

Poor story, no tension at all

I just couldn't be bothered about any of the characters, and I couldn't get to grips with the reader, his accents were terrible. There is no tension, and perhaps this is mainly because I don't care about anybody in it.
