Publisher's summary

The darkest secrets often hide in plain sight....

When a body is found on a lonely cliff top path, the angelic face of a murdered teenager lies facing the rising sun. Strangled by the hands of an unknown killer, it falls to DI Tom Janssen and his fledgling team to find out how she came to be there.

Destined for a career in medicine, one to rival that of her parents, Holly Bettany’s future was as bright as it had been privileged. Seemingly, all that could threaten this promising teenager’s life was Holly herself.

In an idyllic coastal setting, Janssen must unpick the layers of deceit within a close-knit community that threaten to reveal scandal at every turn. Holly had a secret...and she knew the secrets of others.

Who was prepared to kill in order to keep them hidden? What happens if another comes to know what she did? One thing is certain - a brutal killer has no boundaries....

Set within the mysterious beauty of coastal Norfolk, this fast-paced British detective novel is a dark murder mystery with a little humor and a touch of romance, one that will keep you guessing until the very end when the final shocking twist is revealed.

One Lost Soul is the explosive debut in a new series of thrillers from Amazon number one best-selling crime writer JM Dalgliesh, the author of the Dark Yorkshire books. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk, Angela Marsons, Joy Ellis, and Damien Boyd.

Good start

This author was recommended to me but I was reticent to try this based on some reviews. Once I started it I put it aside for several months before I started it again. I’m glad I did.

I listened to the audiobook so, apparently, I missed seeing the typos and grammatical errors that others commented upon. I didn’t notice any of those issues.

The synopsis is available elsewhere. I had a hard time getting into the book but eventually it came together for me. I didn’t have any attachment to the characters at the beginning but they became more interesting as the story unfolded. There are several potential killers but I never guessed who the guilty party was. I see a new DCI around in the next book. I hope.

The narration was well done. I am looking forward to starting the next book in the series.

Excellent!

I truly enjoy Dalgleish's mysteries. the characters are well developed, the story holds my interest (a real page-turner), and Patmore's reading is excellent. Now, on to the next book in the series!

Not too sure ...

The narration sounded like the actor Peter Lorrie with little emotion in it. Made it hard to feel engaged.

Justice

Excellent book. Narrator fantastic. I was disappointed when to finish the plot, you need to read book two; however if the book is as good as this one, I don't mind.

Common

Very common elements, though not entirely uninteresting. The narration is off-putting. The narrator’s inflections sound offhand, as though he’s not really very interested.

A little slow but overall not too bad

A little slow in the beginning and maybe more time needed developing lead character. A little scattered. Hoping better writing as books progress.
