Summary

A CHILLING NORFOLK BROADS CRIME THRILLER!

A convicted psychopath with an early release, a couple found butchered on board their boat, and a twelve-year-old boy, hiding in fear or already lying dead.

Struggling with his new role as a detective chief inspector, John Tanner is warned of a convicted psychopath’s early release. When a couple is found later that day; the man stabbed to death, the woman with her throat cut, he's forced to assume the convict is responsible. But when the male victim turns out to be heir to a global pharmaceutical company, and his twelve-year-old son is nowhere to be found, he has to start looking closer at the victim’s family, and their sprawling stately ancestral home.

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.

Great read/listen

Another enjoyable and gripping story. Love the Broads settings, easy to picture them when they are so familiar.

Struggled with the language around women

I enjoyed the story and performance. But I’m really depressed about the language around women’s bodies and the failure of senior staff to stop the ‘banter’. And why would someone choose to work in a situation with a boss who couldn’t be bothered to prep for an interview….

Entertaining story.

Loved the repartee between the characters. Though it was a bit dark in parts it held my interest.

Sadly a declining series.

I knew this series was becoming something that I didn't enjoy. I am now annoyed that I didn't let it go.
Sadly this book was not very good. That is not to say there weren't moments that were interesting and entertaining but on the whole I struggled with this book. The main problem is that DCI Tanner is a 1970's copper in a 2020's world. He is unprofessional, judgemental, and a bully, and very unlikeable. This makes the book very unbelievable and diminishes what could be a halfway decent story.
The narration is pretty good and the narrator does a good job of trying to make this all seem very real. Overall 2.5 stars
Narration 4.5 stars
Story 2 stars.

A Good Story but

it is a such a shame that all the female characters sound like Julian Clary.

excellent

Really enjoyed the storyline, twists and turns as ever left me pondering. The exceptional narration was my downfall, l have listened to Inspector Ryan too much and loving Johnathan Keebles voice found it hard to split the detectives, which fractionally spoilt the listen

Struggled with this one

I’ve been a fan of these stories for a good while but this one grated a bit mainly due to the language used around women. The author seems obsessed with women’s bodies in far too much inappropriate detail. It might all be called banter but let’s have a little more respect please.

A real rollercoaster

Yet another winner of a book. The twists and turns had me constantly rethinking the story line. However the conclusions were excellent. Wonderfully narrated by Jonathan Keeble as usual. Will have to wait for the next instalment now. Highly recommend this book

Story too fantastical

I have enjoyed these books over the years, but unfortunately some of the story lines have gone over the top. I understand that the DCI is in his new position, and finding it difficult to settle to his new role. However his usual charming character coupled woth his insightful policing has gone awry on this book. I was very disappointed. I also think that the actor, has an unfortunate delivery for the female characters. They always sound insipid, which they are not.!
