Summary

A DCI deals with a homicide on a boat in the Thames—and hostility from his own colleagues—in the debut of this police thriller series.

A shady London nightclub owner is found dead on his boat on the River Thames—and newly promoted DCI Alex Fleming, a man with a troubled past, is keen to prove his worth with his first murder case after joining the Major Crime Unit of Thames Valley Police.

But Bill Watson, a belligerent fellow DCI, gives Fleming a hostile reception and, as internal politics come into play, Fleming finds himself up against both a difficult case and his own colleagues. During the course of the investigation, Fleming and his sergeant identify five suspects. Now they need to eliminate them one by one—or figure out whether they should be looking somewhere else entirely—in this first book in an electrifying new crime series.

Not great

I download this to listen to while I did a long off road gravel cycle. The story sounded great. Pretty quickly I realised that it was a bit clunky but I was stuck with it as I didn’t have signal to download anything else. I thought I’d persevere to get to the end of the story but I couldn’t cope with it and 3 hours in, the minute I cycled into 4G, I had to give up and start something else. Just not good at all.
