About this listen
As the Summer Solstice nears, who will be the next target? A dark thriller from the bestselling author of the DI Louise Blackwell series.
In a cave near Weston, potholers discover what they think are human remains. The bones are identified as belonging to Hugo Latchford, a boy who went missing a decade ago, and whose parents belonged to a quasi-religious cult masquerading as environmental activists. It’s not long before rumours that he was sacrificed in a midsummer ritual resurface.
Returning to duty from maternity leave, DI Louise Blackwell finds herself leading the investigation, soon discovering that Hugo’s parents are still alive and the cult very much still active.
As she begins to fathom the ghoulish depths of the group’s pagan beliefs, new mother Louise is profoundly disturbed by the case. And with the Summer Solstice fast approaching, she’s faced with the terrifying prospect that the group might be preparing for their next sacrifice…

Good story line
The narrator isn’t for me. Disappointed as love the books. First 4 I read. The last 3 on Audible.
Her voices for the other characters are silly. Long drawn out accents that do not sound like this area. More like Jethro.
Mispronouncing Frome throughout. And her Interpretation of some characters in conversation isn’t how I felt I would have read that.
Sorry. Love the book but not the narrator. Spoilt it for me, but I still
Bought it.

Frome
Just a point of note for narration purposes- whilst it is written Frome (as in Rome with an f) it is actually pronounced Froome (as in room with an f). I should know ‘cos I live there!

A fast paced story!
I loved the engaging storyline. Brolly is always a great writer. The characters were well portrayed and the plot had lots of intrigue. Louise’s conflict between motherhood and work was very much like real life.
As a Scot, I found the Scottish accent of Anderson really annoying. But fortunately it didn’t occur often!
