About this listen

Suicide or murder? DI Ford is sure there’s a killer to catch, but time is running out.

A young female soldier is found on Salisbury Plain, her throat cut and a bloody knife in her dead hand. Everyone assumes that she killed herself. But something doesn’t feel right to DI Ford; the whole scene seems staged. Convinced of foul play, and despite fierce opposition from the army brass and his own superiors, Ford launches a murder investigation.

Years on from his wife’s death, Ford is still struggling with guilt and whether or not to tell his son the truth about what really happened. When his CSI partner confronts him about the tragedy, he knows he has to confess sooner or later. But the living can wait; the dead are calling. With the victim’s regiment due to deploy to Somalia, taking any suspects and evidence with them, Ford has just days to apprehend the killer.

His career on the line and his relationship with his son in the balance, Ford has to work fast if he is going to bring justice to the dead—and closure to the living.

WAIT WAIT

I thought he was a goner at the end and was thinking really u wouldn't go out prepared. So Nick or Mick just got away with giving out 👮 information? I need another book to wrap up all of the loose ends.

Heavy on religion, light on mystery

The author spends more time reflecting his antipathy to Christianity than crafting a compelling story and mystery.

The DI Ford guilt plotline is well played out and has become too much of a focus.

An ordinary man

DI Ford is no superhero…he’s a single father with a teenage son and struggling with guilt over the death of his wife. His latest case is an apparent suicide of a female military member. Ford is being pressured to close the case but he intends to do right by the victim. I like his doggedness and tenacity. Good story.

Story AND narration horrible

Am so angry at this drivel; story is absolutely ridiculous, and the narration made it even worse. What a waste!
