About this listen

A CHILLING NORFOLK BROADS CRIME THRILLER!

A haunted crypt, a bullied boy, and an artist’s will: a benevolent gesture or a satanic curse?

When the body of a local artist is found mutilated inside a five-pointed star, DCI Tanner’s attention turns to the disciples of a Satanic cult. But when the man's body is discovered to be the cult’s leader, Tanner's interest is soon drawn to his will, and the five beneficiaries who’ve been named in it.

Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a dark cozy Norfolk murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance, one that will have you guessing until the very end, when the last shocking twist is finally revealed.

The Bastwick Testament is a totally addictive gripping crime thriller, the twelth in a chilling series of serial killer books, ones which will rapidly convert followers of L J Ross, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, J M Dalgliesh, and Elly Griffiths into David Blake devotees.

What a lovely surprise!

I was at first so disappointed to hear that Johnathan Keeble would not be narrating this latest book, but I have to say that I have throughly enjoyed this latest story! I listened to it so quickly and just didn’t want to stop - after only a few chapters I was totally used to Peter Wicks’ fantastic narration and loved his portrayal of the regular characters. Following Johnathan Keeble must have been a difficult task but he has managed to find their voices brilliantly, respecting the previous books whilst also adding his own stamp on them. An absolutely fantastic listen with wonderful narration, a truly lovely surprise!

Good story but lazy research which spoils all the stories

I enjoy the stories but they are spoiled by the authors poor research and knowledge of facts, procedures, and the geography of Norfolk. The new narrator is different and I’m still deciding what I think, warming to them.
