About this listen

When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time....

When a woman's body is found in the sea at Blakeney Point with a single blow to the head, DI Tom Janssen and his team must work out who wanted her dead and why. What would drive someone to murder an elderly woman in such a savage and callous manner?

A formidable woman, a watcher of the local nature reserve, who dedicated her life to preserving her natural surroundings, has made many friends along the way...and even more dangerous enemies. A veteran campaigner - just how did she manage to succeed against all the odds when facing those with far greater resources than her own?

Meanwhile, a man is found murdered in his kitchen, showing no signs of having put up a fight. This second case brings murder a little too close to home for the entire team. Tom finds himself questioning the motives of those closest to him, and he must face the uncomfortable reality that you never truly know those around you.

The team must keep secrets from one another, straining their bonds of friendship in order to catch a ruthless killer before they are able to strike again.

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.

The Dead Call is the sixth novel in the Hidden Norfolk 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.

Stop using the word, "flick" or ANY variation thereof. It's a verbal tic. Can't stand it.

Fun series, but PLEASE ...

I love this author's books! Always a surprise ending. Always pulled in on page 1. I can't wait for his next book to be released.

Just like the ex-girlfriend in the Skye series, Atlas is often bitter and cold. I just don’t care for her. I truly hope Joe finds love elsewhere. Part of me thinks he thinks he loves Alice because he loves the daughter so much. Clearly, they have a loving and authentic relationship.

I cannot bear Alice

I like the series very much and the character of Tom Janessen.
The other characters are adequate— but always seem to need something “to do.” Overall, I have gotten used to the narrator— but would mind someone not as “breathy.” Every word sounds like an exhale! Still, the series is very well written and keeps one engaged in the Hidden Norfolk series. . Looking forward to the next one, as well as what’s next in store in the Dark Yorkshire series.

Very good series…

As usual, two very different crimes. Almost, his girlfriend arrested, except for the Detecive's, superb, Sherlock-like mental skills. Also when after many twists and turns, he gets the suspects where he can interrogate them. His skills maneuver them invariably into a corner of no return. I will definitely be continuing this series to the end which I hope is not for quite some time.. Also. the Narrator, Craig Pattamor is very, very good as always.

Great plot, believable.
Good characterization, too.
Excellent drawing-out of timing towards the dénouement.
I really enjoyed this one - total contrast with the 5th in the series !

Oh, tthank all the gods - a really good one !
