About this listen

Mark Randall lay dead in a field near Lowacre long before Smith had done what he had to do in Belfast. By the time he went back to work, the investigation was well underway. "It's not my case," he says more than once, and he really doesn't need it to be; he has enough to think about as it is. But going around the Norfolk countryside dotting the i's and crossing the t's, speaking to the local farmers and the Brothers of St. Francis from Abbeyfields, Smith begins to suspect that the investigation might be heading in entirely the wrong direction. Arrests are made, charges are brought, and Christopher Waters asks Smith if he has ever seen the wrong man convicted in a murder case. The answer is yes, and the next question is, what can be done to prevent it from happening again?

DC seems to be getting to the end of the line career wise, he's thinking about retirement, thinking about what his life will be about when he's done being a detective,, he's getting tired of it.

So, fittingly he works a case involving an abbey. He's noticing nature around the abbey. I spent a good amount of time while listening to the book thinking the book cover must have something to do with the plot. To me, its DC's relationships with other people that makes this series special.

you can't but like DC

This series just continues to improve. The character development and this is outstanding. Deesees humor and wit is on point. But it’s a good story all the way around. I definitely recommend it. And if this is your first look at the series go back to book one start from the beginning because there are things that you need to know

I always enjoy the possibility of DC and the writer becoming a couple.
I always enjoy the debris the characters who appear in each book in the series. Most of all I enjoy DC’s intelligence and renegade yet always correct handling the investigations, always honesty and integrity.

The entire book was great !

I really think this series is about as close to perfect as a mystery series can be - beautifully conceived, exquisitely written and delivered by the perfect narrator. It’s not for thrill seekers but if you like a more literary mystery full of humor and humanity do give this a try - just go in order.

Just all around excellent
