Publisher's summary

The public face. A private reality. Sometimes, the dead have a lot to hide.

DI Nathaniel Caslin’s life is a mess. He works the minimum, abuses substances to survive the day, and drinks his nights away. A once-promising career is in freefall.

Investigating the death of an ex-serviceman in police custody reveals the disappearance of a young family. No-one noticed. No-one seems to care. In the grip of a bitter, Yorkshire winter, a family home reluctantly offers up its grisly secrets. Out on the moors, a murder scene of horrific brutality demands Caslin's focused attention. In the search for answers, is anyone who they claim to be?

Haunted by the ghosts of the past, Caslin is pushed to his limits. Will this case break him or be his path to redemption?

Frightening premise with many twists

Really liked the beginning of this series and am looking forward to more. I like a gritty, complex police procedural and this one doesn’t disappoint.

Here is a book all dressed up, looking like the top of the line. My favorite genre: today's British
cop procedural. I like to think I'm keeping abreast of the latest cop
technology and this may be true here. Am I keeping up with modern trends in the criminal world? Or is this just 21st century white and black hats? I did listen to this twice, it is for sure a brain treat. a twists and turns - AND A CAR CHASE! I BELIEVE THIS IS MY FIRST AUDIO
CRASH BANG :-)

Not my Favorite

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
I tried several times to listen to this book, but each time I couldn't get into the story. This just didn't have enough action, and the narration was somewhat slow, so I always found myself zoning out even when I tried to connect to the story. Although not for me, I am sure others would enjoy this book.

Could not get into it. To many fillers

I just could not get into this, I found my mind wondering to much, there is way to much filler with that it lost me. It does have a good plot, with good characters but with so much filler I just found it hard to follow, it just seemed to drag on.

The narrator I can’t give justice to, he seems to be moving to slow but that could be because of the fillers. I would like to give him another but not with this author. As far as I can tell there were no repeating of words, no volume changes, some of his characters voice were close to others, it was a little confusing.

I am sorry I am sure there are others who would enjoy this. If I had read it I would have skip a lot of the fillers and got right into the story which I think would have made it better.
