Publisher's summary

DI Nick Dixon is on the hunt for a vicious serial killer, following a trail of fingerprints and DNA across west Somerset.

When the body of a young woman is found on the building site of a nuclear power station, work grinds to a halt. The body bears all the hallmarks of yet another random murder at the hands of the escaped killer. Then Dixon finds a motive.

Fighting for his place on the Major Investigation Team, he soon uncovers a family’s desperate search for the truth, exposing a web of corruption and death that will shake the billion-pound construction project to its very foundations. But who can be trusted when so much money is at stake?

Can Dixon find the killer under intense pressure from the top of government? And, can he do it before anyone else has to die?

More complex plot than some others in the series

This installment of the series has a more complex plot than others I’ve read in it. It has a good start then tends to drag in the middle when additional villians come into play. By the end, all complications are wrapped up satisfactorily and advancing DI Nick Dixon’s personal story. Even with some pacing faults a mystery by Damien Boyd outshines 95% of the rest.
The ensemble cast continues to entertain.
Great narration carries the listener through the weaker plot points, making this another successful series entry.

Disappointed

I’ve enjoyed the preceding book narrations as five stars. What makes them appealing is their uniquely English aspects. This attempt to make the series more acceptable to an American audience is a flop. A pale imitation of what made the narration of the series great. Fire the US distributor and revert to the UK English narration and vocabulary.

Where's Napoleon Ryan??

I have really enjoyed this series, but the change of narrator is extremely disappointing.
He's a fine narrator, but after the whole series being done by Napoleon Ryan, it's a big let down.
I hope we can get a version of this book narrated by him in the near future.

I miss the former narrator

Story quality is interesting as usual, BUT the former narrator was so talented and the new narration is just adequate.

Slow Start, Fine Finish

Seemed like a chase scene, then plot thickened. Good human interest with Monte the dog, and Jane.
Simon Mattacks, my favorite narrator, didn't disappoint.
