About this listen

The first three crime thrillers in the Detective Sebastian Clifford series together in a single collection for the first time.

Web of Lies, Book 1

A trail of secrets. A dangerous discovery. A deadly turn.

Police officer Sebastian Clifford never planned on becoming a private investigator. But when a scandal leads to the disbandment of his London-based special squad, he finds himself out of a job. That is until his cousin calls on him to investigate her husband's high-profile death and prove that it wasn't a suicide.

Clifford's reluctant to get involved, but the more he digs, the more evidence he finds. With his ability to remember everything he's ever seen, he's the perfect person to untangle the layers of deceit.

He meets Detective Constable Bird, an underutilized detective at Market Harborough's police force, who refuses to give him access to the records he's requested unless he allows her to help with the investigation. Clifford isn't thrilled. The last time he worked as part of a team it ended his career. But with time running out, Clifford is out of options. Together they must wade through the web of lies in the hope that they'll find the truth before it kills them.

Speak No Evil, Book 2

What happens when someone's too scared to speak?

Ex-police officer Sebastian Clifford had decided to limit his work as a private investigator, until Detective Constable Bird, aka Birdie, asks for his help.

Twelve months ago a young girl was abandoned on the streets of Market Harborough in shocking circumstances. Since then the child has barely spoken. With the police unable to trace her identity, they've given up. The social services team in charge of the case worries that the child has an intellectual disability, but Birdie and her aunt—who's fostering the little girl—disagree. They believe she's gifted and intelligent, but something bad happened and she's living in constant fear.

Clifford trusts Birdie's instinct, and together they work to find out who the girl is so she can be freed from the past. But as secrets are uncovered, the pair realize it's not just the child who's in danger...

Never Too Late, Book 3

A vicious attack. A dirty secret... and a chance for justice.

Ex-police officer Sebastian Clifford is quickly finding that life as a private investigator is never quiet. His doors have only been open a few weeks when DCI Whitney Walker approaches him to investigate the brutal attack that left her older brother, Rob, with irreversible brain damage.

For nearly twenty-five years, Rob had no memory of that night, but lately, things are coming back to him. Whitney's worried that her brother might–once again–be in danger.

Clifford knows only too well what it's like to be haunted by the past, so he agrees to help. But the deeper he digs, the more secrets he uncovers, and soon he discovers that Rob's not the only one in danger.

I really enjoyed this first foray into Seb and Birdie's adventures and will be eagerly awaiting the next trilogy!
I found the narrator's voicing of Seb a little bit too serious, at points he sounded so paternalistic I was waiting for Birdie to chuck him out of the car in annoyance! But since that's the basis of his character I suppose I can't moan. Very enjoyable!

Excellent value for one credit!

Brilliant

I enjoyed these books. And a bargain three books for the price of one. My only gripe, as others have said is the whinny brum accent. especially of the leading lady. But Jonathan is a good narrator. The weakest of the three is the middle one. Not wishing a spoiler but it is solved then goes on another hour or so on the Not very important consequences. But all in all worth a credit....

Good But Not Quite the Cigar

I enjoyed the plot and the characters but felt that some of the characterisations were a bit laboured. How often do we need to hear that Birdie arrived late and is always hungry? How often do we need to hear that Twiggy is obsessed with food? The narration was excellent in that it enabled us to hear the different characters but Leicester accent is very different from broad Brummie. Overall though I very much enjoyed the books!

Enjoyable

BRILLIANT

I am new to this author but I likedt the narrator from other books so I decided to try the first three book deal.
it's one of the best story series I have listened to in ages. I got through all three books in record time.
My only on pet hate is with Johnathan Keebles whos voice and style I love.
People from Coventry DO NOT talk with a Birmingham accent, nor do people from Leicester or Market harbrough!!!

Totally brilliant
