About this listen

This is DC Smith's third investigation with the Diver and Diver Associates agency. They have been asked by a member of Norfolk's aristocracy to look into the tragic death of her younger brother, Freddie, the late Lord Thorpe of the title. The inquest verdict was of misadventure, but it isn't long before Smith begins to suspect there has been a serious miscarriage of justice.

Lovely easy listen …..

I came late to this series late so I’ve had the luxury of listening to them all in fairly quick succession without having to wait for the next … now I’m at the end and regrettably having to wait for the next instalment 😔. I like each individual story but overall I’m invested in the characters … I was concerned that the transition from Police to Private Detective would be tricky but seamless and believable. The narration is also brilliant… please don’t ever change them!

Another gem

I do hope this team (Jackson and Grainger) go on forever … it is a deep comfort to listen to these books, a great pleasure. Well written and beautifully read. Could do without the product placements.

Another master piece

I have waited for sometime for this latest Peter Granger D C Smith story and it was worth the wait.
As ever the narration was excellent.
I feel I know these characters so well now.
Please keep the stories coming.

great story line

have read all the books on DC Smith, as a policeman and as an investigater, and have loved every one, the story lines are all different, but the narrator, the dry sense of humour,and all other characters are still the same, these are the most welcoming part of these books, please keep them coming

Characters that you grow very fond of!

I loved this book, one of my favourite in the series. DC does his usual understated detecting in a story that appears straight forward at the beginning , but of course it never is!

Never get tired of reading the DC Smith books. Once hooked you are reeled slowly in and can’t put the book down

A thoughtful reading

The reader is thoughtful and uses pauses in the reading to allow the listener to appreciate characters emotions. The link between the King’s Lake series is carefully woven in the plot. The development of the new characters means the listener becomes invested in them and begins to hope for positive outcomes. Another enjoyable addition to the series
