An intruder shot dead to be seen rising from the grave, an escaped psychopath with a hidden murderous intent, and a forgotten mansion lying in the midst of an ancient Norfolk marsh.

The ancestral owner of Long Gore Hall arrives from overseas with an ambitious plan to renovate his crumbling family home. But when he shoots an intruder only for the body to vanish into thin air, DI Tanner is left searching for a body that doesn't seem to want to be found.

Very good mystery, which I never figured out, I had to be told at the end. I did feel sorry for Lawrence Hambleton.

A smidge of romance and the F-bomb was used 18 times.

As for the narration: Jonathan Keeble is an awesome narrator. I've listened to all 18 of his narration of the DCI Ryan Mysteries, by LJ Ross, and have loved every one of them, as well as all 8 of these DI Tanner books.

Can't wait for the next one..

Been listening to these since book 1. This is my favorite so far. A more compelling story and the character development come into their own.

My favorite so far

The most enjoyable book yet of the Detective Tanner series! Thoroughly engaging and entertaining. I can’t wait to read the next installment.

The twist at the end was stellar!

So, I am completely hooked by the series. Good characters, engaging story lines, rabbit holes and then revealing resolutions on most of the books.
However - there are choices these characters make in this one that are so goofy- like Tanner and the main culprit having this long drawn out conversation with bad guy on plane’s wing and our hero on an airport tarmac, complete with stupid bravado from each, when really, the main culprit should just be getting into the plane and leaving. Instead there’s all this yadda yadda from them both, including the revelation of bad guys secret plan and why they’ll never catch him. Why has the story become all Shakespearean with bad guy and Tanner making speeches to each other? why didn’t bas guy just get the hell outta there? Another peeve- Forrester has become a whiney, volatile, constantly angry superior to Tanner and it’s just bloody annoying to read. Would be so much more satisfying if he showed some humanity and appreciated Tanner more, believing him rather than constantly hurling sarcastic invective at him (REALLY getting boring- and unimaginative - is the guy really that 2 dimensional all the darned time?) But that said, I will continue to happily read the rest and will be sad when I’m at the end.

As much as I enjoy these characters …

Really better than just good. Interesting storyline, which had me listening to, and finishing the book, in one day. What an incredibly talented narrator Jonathan Keeble is.

Another good one!

I really hate the Christine story line, if Tanner was going to be settled down and playing father why couldn’t he have just stayed with Jenny. I hate the immediate hop from Jenny to Christine.

Good story line

Honestly, I’ve listened to the entire series and I am not sure why ?! There isn’t anything awesome about the stories, the characters, the performance or the writing. In fact, I find the use of profanity gratuitous and largely inappropriate at the times it’s used. I’m not offended, per se, it’s just ridiculously over used and speaks to a lack of just clearly writing what NEEDS to be spoken, rather than what “could “work in lieu of the right words.
Tanner is annoying. And kind of dull for a detective. The girlfriend— the first one, met a sad demise— but if she hadn’t I think I would have stopped listening/reading long ago. Unfortunately, though smarter, the next girlfriend is put in to ridiculous situations that don’t match her stature.
For the life, I don't know why I keep going with this series other than to see that each one does seem to hold a small glimmer of interesting storylines that I keep wishing would go in a different, better direction and I can at least say that perhaps, simple annoying stories like this one are minutely good enough to get me to my next awesome read/ listen.
