About this listen

If you like Peter James, Mark Billingham and James Patterson, you won't be able to put down the compelling Inspector Hardy series.

When Inspector James Hardy learns the body of a young woman discovered in the River Thames is that of a friend, his life goes into a tail-spin. The victim’s flatmate is on the run for her life. She could be the key to catching the killer. In a race against time, Hardy must track her down before the killer does. As the truth behind the investigation unfolds, Hardy’s own family come under threat. With two young daughters to protect and an investigation that twists and turns, Hardy finds himself pushed to the limit.

With his every move scrutinised by the press, a witness on the run and a killer growing in confidence, how will Hardy handle the pressure and solve the investigation?

Our hero seemed very slow on the uptake. He kept "realising" things when it was too late

Humdrum

Richard Fox is the best story narrator I have heard by a long way but unfortunately the story this time was sadly lacking. Yes it was exciting but DCI James Hardy came across as a very weak hero and a little bit clueless. I don’t think that I will be carrying on with this series.

Brilliant narration but not such a good story

Too brutal for me. I can listen to some violence but found this a bit too much.
I skipped quite a bit. The story line was good though.

Good narrater.

Good start and believable characters. It was too drawn out for me and I dislike books where the detective ends up being a 'poor me' character.
Narrator was okay but at times I wasn't sure which character was supposed to be speaking .....they all sounded the same.
I won't be listening to any more from this author.

Not for me.

Either the narrator isn’t reading the book correctly, or the book itself is filled with mistakes. Multiple instances of incorrect tenses and the wrong words being used. Very strange.

What has happened? Full of mistakes

THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF FREAT STORIES BUT THEY WERE NEVER FULLY TOLD AND THE NARRATOR ŴAS BLOODY AWFUL CHARACTERS WERE HARD TO GET TO KNOW.

COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT
