Summary

Nine-year-old Jenny Carson is brutally murdered in Kenton Wood on her way from school. Then Charles Lendon is found stabbed to death with a skewer through his heart. He was a ruthless lawyer and something of a womanizer. Jenny's father blamed him for her murder.

As the local police struggle, Inspector Crow is called in. Can he connect the two killings? He discovers that several of those closest to Charles Lendon had good reason to hate him: his housekeeper lover, her unstable brother, even the boyfriend of his attractive young colleague Cathy Tennant.

Inspector John Crow

Skeletally-built, mild-mannered Inspector John Crow is established in the Murder Squad in London and constantly meets hostility when he is called upon to work on murder cases in regional crime squads in Wales and the Midlands. He displays strong moral feelings, and a sensitivity which brings him into conflict with regional staff as he doggedly and successfully pursues the truth in cases where he is called in.

Gripping.

I love how Lewis plots his novels and interweaves subplots and characters. "The Woods Murder" is another fantastic murder mystery full of twists and turns and fascinating characters that leap off the page.

The Woods Murder

Reader was difficult to listen to. A harsh voice. It did rather spoil the listening.

Slow

I found the storyline good but found it difficult to listen too as there was no rise and fall of voice and sounded monotonous

Dreadful narrator

I think the story was probably okay but the narrator was dreadful, one of the worst I’ve ever heard from a male narrator, he went from one character to another using the same grating voice, avoid him at all costs.
