Great read... or listen!

I was hesitant to purchase this and start another series, but I'm glad I did. The author left a great hook at the end that encourages me to read the next installment.

Lots of blah blah

I am always looking for a new series and decided to try this one. Not a good decision. The story is told in far to much painful detail. The story moves along like some UK television series taking too long to get to the point. They don't have a good story to tell so they bore you to death with babble about what 40 characters were thinking about while waiting for paint to dry. I wonder if the UK police are really so political. The story makes you wonder if they solve crimes by accident and while hiding from their bosses. My advice look elsewhere for a good story.

Good story. Mediocre narration

Liked the story but the narration made it difficult to tell when the narrative switched from one character to the next. The narrator needs to learn to use micro pauses

Fun listen….

Another great book by Faith. Another book you haven’t solved until the end of the book.

Well written

I enjoyed this book. I was pulled into the lives of the characters and I’m interested to see what happens as I read the next in the series. The only critique I would have is that I sometimes had to go back and relisten because there was not enough pause in between scene changes. That’s one of the tricky parts about listening to a book versus reading it.

Good story line

Liked the story line. Never knew the canal boats were called Narrow boats. The narrator was excellent.

Not bad

Not a bad debut to the series. Hilary is trying to get out from under the shadow of her deceased crooked husband while doing her job with eyes on her every move. A police procedural with well written, if slow b

A good police procedural

The only complaint I had was that there were too many characters to keep up with. I wished the narrator would have done more pauses when the story jumped to another character.
