About this listen
MEET DETECTIVE ALICE ROSSI IN THIS BRILLIANT NEW CRIME SERIES.
A brand-new mystery from #1 bestselling author Helen H. Durrant that will have you gripped from start to explosive finish.
A female serial killer with a deadly agenda. The detective who must stop her. Luxury holiday lodges in the stunning Peak District. The game begins . . .
Callum is lured to an isolated boathouse by an attractive older woman. When she gets him alone, she knocks him out with a single blow. As he wakes up, her voice comes out of the darkness, “You're a sprat to catch a mackerel.”
Surrounded by hills and lakes, Still Waters is home to a close-knit community of wealthy retirees. It's an unlikely setting for violence. The police don't take Callum's disappearance seriously: he's 24-years-old, after all. But Callum's mother, a Still Waters resident, knows that something is very wrong.
Then a body is discovered floating in the lake. Head bashed in. But it's not Callum.
And someone tweets: Come out to play one last time, Alice. Still Waters run deep. #MadHatter.
That's when DCI Alice Rossi is called in. She's back.

Great Listen
I really enjoyed this story, it had good twists and turns in it and the Narrator Katie West did a fantastic job. you were transformed into the book and you felt like you were a fly on the wall watching everything happen around you. Easy listening the only thing i thought it was a little silly at the end but over all i would highly recommend this to people for a listen and the fact that is was free it was a big bonus, I will defiantly listen to more of Helen H Durrant books

can't go wring with Durant.
Very much enjoyed this book, as i do all of her books. It felt somehow a bit more sophisticated than the Greco and Caledine series, with slightly more attention to language and imagery than the other series. Narration took a few chapters to get used to, as to begin with she did sound a bit like a badly acted Waterloo Road character but she settled in nicely. I loved the story, but the final "twist" was just juvenile. probably should have ended about 5 chapters before it did.

First time I have not seen the twist coming.
I loved this, every book I have read so far, I have always worked out the twist. This one was really good, normally you are trying to figure out who it is and then once you work it out, that's the twist. This one though was totally different and I was actually really happy for once on how the story ended. I normally finish a book thinking, and get annoyed because of the bits that are unrealistic, this time though it was all good. No loose ends left in regards to the crimes which I liked. Will be reading more books from Helen H Durrant.

Disappointing
I was disappointed given the excellent reviews. The main protagonist is quite boring and most other characters are simply not engaging, There are some ludicrous plot points and unbelievable reactions. The 'unexpected' twist at the end was signalled. The narrator was fine but miscast, Her relatively young voice did not suit the majority of characters who are in their 60s.
Overall it's an average thriller but I was expecting more given the reviews and the experience of the author.

Poor ending
Could have been great,but the ending was frustrating. No real detective would have made the same decision and the reasoning for that decision was week, it left me asking so many unanswered questions.
