Money, success, family? All deadly....

The gripping new DCI Gillard thriller. Perfect for readers of D. K. Hood, Patricia Gibney and Mark Billingham, The Body in the Snow is a remarkable and gripping crime thriller.

A young detective is out for a jog on a snowy winter morning. Then she sees something terrible: a murder in the park, sudden and inexplicable. A woman has been killed by a passing hooded cyclist. It’s just DCI Craig Gillard’s luck that he’s on duty. The body is that of Tanvi Roy, one of the richest women in Britain and matriarch of a food empire.

With a tangled web of family and business contacts and jealousies, Gillard’s job just got even more complex. As he delves deeper into the Roy family, it’s clear that everything is not as it seems. As the investigation threatens to unravel, Gillard realises it's only the beginning of his problems. Trouble of a different sort is brewing close to home.

When the end of your plot requires so much explanation
There is something wrong. Again, three hours too long. Book two was so much better.

Such a shame. we are back to book one .

Loved the plot and range of characters. Hope that our hero learns to spend more time with his spouse. He's really risking his marriage. How is the series getting better? Wicked humor cuts through some very tragic happenings. Writing shows sophisticated understanding of power dynamics in family businesses. The plot was precariously balanced between action, suspense, false leads, and good detective work. The book was not longer than it needed to be. The author quickly and neatly summed up the solutions, court outcomes, and relationship consequences. There are loose ends: suspicious characters lurk on the edges of the ending, and at least one plot line left this reader wondering if there is a false narrator in the police unit, plotting to mess up Craig. we shall see. Great narration as usual.

Series Gets Even Better

Poor recording. Although the narrator was good as usual something was very wrong with the recording equipment. When playing in my car one speaker would go off, also in ear phones. This was not a problem with my devices, but with the recording. The problem began in the last book and continued through this one. Poor editing by Audible. This should have been fixed before releasing the recording.

Interesting story, lots of twists

well read

Loved the first two books. However, in the last two the author is trying hard to humanize Craig and Sam and it isn’t working. They have taken a turn from relatable to unlikeable. If their development continues down hill I’ll be moving on to another series. Having said all that; the writing is very good. Just give these two characters a break.

Needs a turn around for our protagonist

This is a superbly written book in a great series. Books 2 and 3 in the series are not quite as good, but Nick Louth more than makes up with is one. The story is great and keeps one on edge to the very end. The performance by the reader is really good with plenty of inflection in his voice.

Overall a really good book !!!!

Fantastic !

Another good one in the series. Will look forward for book 5. The Narrator also does a great job in capturing the tone and emotions of the characters.

Excellent Series

Always a twist

Well done mystery/police procedural that kept me guessing almost to the end. It dragged occasionally, hence the 4 star rating for the story but overall an enjoyable listen. Also enjoyed the narration.

Great listen
