About this listen
Uncover the dark secrets of Whitby's Forgotten Victims in this gripping new thriller by bestselling British crime author Wes Markin.
Detective Chief Inspector Frank Black has always believed that no life should be forgotten.
While consumed by the search for his missing daughter, Frank is called to the North York Moors when a decades-old body is discovered behind the cellar wall of the derelict Rusty Anchor pub.
With the help of unconventional Detective Inspector Gerry Carver, Frank delves into seedy past of the pub and its notorious poker nights, where the town's most notorious locals gathered. But as they uncover the truth, they find themselves in a dangerous game with desperate individuals who have all experienced unimaginable trauma.
As the case become more complex, Frank starts to question if he's been wrong all along.
Could it be that not everyone deserves justice?
And are some lives better off forgotten?
Bestselling Wes Markin is back with the start of an exciting new series, perfect for fans of David Gatward, JD Kirk, Rachel McLean, JM Dalgleish and Simon McCleave.

Detective Lola Harris returns from a miserable solo holiday – an effort to get over her useless ex – only to find herself in charge of a high-stakes investigation. She rushes to a crime scene in the historic Gallowgate neighbourhood. The smell in the basement is thick and sweet, even through Lola’s forensic mask. The old wooden chair and the rope hanging from its arms are stained red. The earth below is saturated with blood. Six candleholders, their lights burned out, lend the scene an air of a completed ritual. And yet there is no sign of a body.

Story
Perle Mesta was a force to be reckoned with. In her heyday, this wealthy globe-trotting Washington widow was one of the most famous women in America, garnering as much media attention as Eleanor Roosevelt. Renowned for her world-class parties featuring politicians and celebrities, she was very close to three presidents–Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower and Lyndon Johnson. Truman named her as the first female envoy to Luxembourg, which inspired the hit musical based on Perle’s life – “Call Me Madam” – which starred Ethel Merman, ran on Broadway for two years and later became a movie.

Author’s style is to barrage reader/listener with many potential story lines via introduction of a plethora of surface-thin characters. Most turn out to be extraneous to the actual (eventual) story. To me this comes off as a way to substitute quantity & “noise” for depth.
Same approach was taken in first book of the series, but this one was even worse. Working/collegial relationships between detectives did not move forward at all in this book. Looking for that was the reason I went ahead with this 2nd in the series. But, if anything, ground was lost in terms of dimensionality in those relationships.
I don’t recommend, & will not spend a further credit, even to see if there is tying up of loose ends from a situation introduced at the end of book one.
Narration is good enough, but not great.
Even weaker than 1st in series
