The story kept me captivated throughout though and I'll probably give the next book a try especially since I enjoyed the first book so much. I have a small problem with the way Ms. Hill writes her male and female characters. The female characters are, almost without fail, sympathetic people who are put upon by their male counterparts. Even Simon Serrailler is somewhat of a cad.

and the storyline is compelling. This is not a simple 'who dun it,' but complicated and
thoughtful and provocative. Warning: the mystery is not solved in this book, but it lays
the groundwork for a 'follow up' in a next book. Do not let it throw you...
I think this book and the next were one volume, and the editors felt it would be
too long, and had the book divided into two volumes.
Nonetheless, it's a wonderful read..
Susan Hill is a brilliant writer..

The main character, Simon Serrailler, is much more in evidence here. He turns out to be a complex and interesting personality - frustratingly reserved, uncommunicative and distant; but, at the same time, a caring boss, brother, uncle and son. He and the other characters keep you interested, and the plot is an involving one.
Some reviewers have noted that the resolutions of Susan Hill's plot lines are not very satisfying for many mystery fans. I'd say that her characters and the police actions in the books may rather reflect much of the true nature of police investigations and human motives.
Steven Pacey, like all the best narrators, isn't a distracting performer. Instead, he just quietly personifies all the characters and delivers a natural and comfortable reading. Hard to beat that!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
With a caveat...I found the ending very frustrating. I get what the author intends, but it defeats the purpose of written mysteries to me. And the first one was irritating in a different, but in some ways similar, way. I'm going to try one more in the series, but if I don't get more of a positive vibe, I'll leave it there. If you like modern, depressing-equals-real, mysteries/procedurals, these are well written and interesting. I look to written mysteries to in the end give me a sense of hope and order, so far these don't. Side note--if you want proof that the British system of socialized medicine solves the problems of modern medicine--don't look in theses books. Simon's sister and brother-in-law constantly complain about paperwork and government oversight and how no one else is willing to be a GP...Would you be willing to try another book from Susan Hill? Why or why not?
I'm going to try one more.Have you listened to any of Steven Pacey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Just this series, as far as I know--he is great.I'm going to try one more
