About this listen

Who can you turn to if not the police?

Essex, Christmas Day. As the residents of a small town enjoy their mince pies, shots ring out in the street. Five people are gunned down before the lone shooter turns his weapon on himself.

Grace Fisher, now Detective Inspector, is tasked with making some sense of this atrocity - all the more sensitive because the first of the victims was one of their own: a police officer. The case throws her back together with crime reporter Ivo Sweatman, but as she investigates it becomes clear that the police connection goes much deeper than she thought. As the evidence of corruption grows and she is obstructed at every turn, Grace knows she is walking further into danger. Then, her young key witness disappears....

What far-reaching compromises will Grace have to make to safeguard the innocent?

I found this a really enjoyable listen. The characters were more fleshed out than the previous book and the plot had greater momentum.

A huge improvement on the first book

I love the way the personality of the characters evolve throughout the story. It leaves you wanting more and looking forward to the next time you listen to the story. Having now read book 1 and Book 2 in the series, I am now eagerly awaiting to begin book 3 and then 4.

Unmissable read

I really liked the second book - great narration but I felt the ending was a bit abrupt and isn't really resolve everything, shame as the rest was good. Perhaps this is for development in the next book. Wouldn't stop me from getting book 3 but a little disappointing

Unsatisfactory ending

Although I find Grace a bit irritating at times, the moral dilemmas this author poses are very interesting. She makes the corruption believable as well as understandable whilst never leaving the reader in doubt as to when a line is crossed. This was a very clever story and I look forward to a lot more in this series. This would make a very good tv series.

great read

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book with all its twists & relationships but felt short changed by the sudden ending & so many questions left unanswered at the end. Felt as if 3 or 4 more chapters had been lost

Rushed ending

The second in the series and far better than the first, better story line, better characters and a couple of twists on the way. Once again well performed by Melody Grove who makes the characters credible.

Excellent

loved this book, if you like twists and turns this is the book for you

gripping

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The first book in the series very much revolves around Grace’s relationship with her family and the impact of thinking one of them might be involved with the case she is investigating, I feel the author has very successfully continued the family story whilst moving the focus to a new police investigation which is interesting and complex.

I enjoyed the way the author raises moral questions and challenges for her characters, this adds another dimension which is compelling when there are so many books in this genre to choose from. I really look forward to reading more by this author.

Great follow up.
