About this listen

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

In a small town full of secrets, everyone’s a suspect.

When a body is discovered, bled dry on a beach, the sleepy seaside town of Weston-super-Mare wakes up to a nightmare. For Detective Inspector Louise Blackwell, recently transferred to the town she last saw as a child, it’s her first case on the job.

The victim - Veronica Lloyd, an elderly volunteer at a local church - has puncture wounds to her hands. When a priest is found killed in a nearby church in a similarly grisly condition, it becomes clear that Blackwell is dealing with a righteous and bloody murderer. But the victims aren’t random. The killer has a vendetta and is hell-bent on exacting twisted revenge for a dark secret dating back years - and there are more murders planned.

As the body count rises, Blackwell faces a race against time to solve the mystery of the murderer’s identity and put an end to the carnage. She thought she knew Weston, but the town holds more secrets than she’d ever have imagined. Who can she trust and who knows more than they are letting on?

She must discover the crimes that unite the victims - before it’s too late.

Another great read

Although slow at times (like most talented authors), the plot was superb and a strong climactic ending. Highly recommend this audiobook!

New to Me Series

Always a fan of the police procedural, I’m glad I came across this series. DI Blackwell is cool under fire and there’s plenty of fire coming at her. The villain was a nutter and the shenanigans from Finch were unnerving. Let’s see how book two goes.

Not recommended

Story is convoluted with too much detail about feelings. I will not be listening to this series anymore.

Very good police thriller

I received the narration version of this book. The narration was done very well. The author describes the characters and the scenes very nicely. about a third of the way in to the book I felt that it dragged slightly but then it picked back up again and I was very glad to have completed this book. Would definitely read another book by this author.
