Summary

The thrilling first audiobook in the best-selling DI Kelly Porter series.

After a scandal forces DI Kelly Porter out of the Met, she returns home to the Lake District. Crimes in the Cumbrian constabulary tend to be minor, but Kelly begins work on a cold case that shocked the local community - the abduction and brutal murder of a 10-year-old girl.

Meanwhile, Kelly is also investigating two seemingly straightforward crimes: a case involving an illegal immigrant and a robbery following the death of a local businessman. But evidence comes to light that reveals a web of criminal activity beyond anything Kelly imagined. Behind the veneer of sleepy, touristy towns lies a dark and dangerous underworld.

As Kelly threatens to expose those with much to lose, she risks paying the ultimate price to get to the truth....

[4.5/5]

This was really good!! Maybe these crime thrillers are all the same but I don't care lol they're enjoyable. I love the way the stories and characters tied together in this one I do love a plot that comes together like a puzzle. I'm so happy this is another long series for me to get stuck into!

Very good!!

To be honest this book made my stomach turn with how little value gangs have on human life making this book a fantastic listen!! I’m now going to listen to the next book in the series! Narrator was also very good! Really good all round and would highly recommend

Off to a great start

This is the first story in this series, and it’s excellent. Believable characters; plausible, complicated story; excellent narration; 5 more stories in the series at time of writing. Happy days. As another reviewer remarked it’s so refreshing for the main character to be fairly ordinary, really good at her job, with no obvious major personality flaws. Already downloaded No2 with great anticipation. Highly recommended.

excellent

can't wait to listen to next book in this series. liked the main character who was not overly complicated. story progressed at an interesting pace and not too graphic, glory or violent. just enough sex and not reliant on foul language . narration very easy on the ears.
