About this listen

Introducing your new crime thriller fix:

Bristol detective DS George Cross, champion of the outsider, the voiceless and the dispossessed. DS George Cross can be rude, difficult and awkward with people. But his unfailing logic and dogged pursuit of the truth means his conviction rate is the best on the force.

An outsider himself, having been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, DS Cross is especially drawn to cases concerning the voiceless and the dispossessed. Now, Cross is untangling the truth about a young woman who died three days ago. With no fingerprints, no weapon and no witnesses, the Bristol Crime Unit are ready to close the case.

The coroner rules suicide: the woman had a long history of drug abuse. But her mother is convinced it was murder: her daughter has been clean and sober for over two years.

DS Cross is determined to defy his bosses and re-open the case, even if it costs him his career. Soon he is mired in a labyrinth of potential suspects—but can he solve the case before his superiors shut it down for good?

Narrator...

I'll be returning this audio as the narrator's inability to maintain a consistent flow in dialogue is too distracting.

Nice listen

Slightly predictable but I loved the side stories. Good depth to characters. Not really a shocking ending.

One of the best listens of the year

This series just keeps getting better. Great criminal procedural and mystery... but goes way beyond that with character development and interactions. We have enjoyed all before this third book, but each has gotten better than the previous. Very clever dialogues and subtle humor surrounding the context.

Narrator

I loved the story and overall no complaints really. I did get distracted by the narrator several times on this one though as it sounded like he was new at this and not as fluid as the narrator of the last two books
