One song for the dying... sung by the dead....

When the body of a young woman is discovered at the home she shared with her disabled daughter, DI Tom Janssen and his team must investigate the circumstances surrounding her death.

The woman was a single mother, well regarded, and popular among the group she frequented, but she had a checkered past...a life she kept secret from those around her...a life that may, ultimately, have led to her death. Friends, past lovers, and confidants offer conflicting descriptions of the deceased...did anyone know her at all?

The team realize the daughter is missing and, away from her medication, the little girl's life hangs in the balance. Unless the team can solve a seemingly calculated murder, an innocent life will be lost....

Set within the mysterious beauty of coastal Norfolk, this fast-paced British detective novel is a dark murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end when the final shocking twist is revealed.

The Raven Song is the latest novel in the Hidden Norfolk series of thrillers from the million-copy best-selling British crime writer, JM Dalgliesh, the author of the Dark Yorkshire books. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk, Angela Marsons, Simon McCleave, and Damien Boyd.

Another chapter in the series that keeps you guessing until the last few chapters. I appreciate a story where the plot and ending are not apparent until the end. The character development of the primary investigators is a nice touch. It makes it easier to invest in the books. Recommended

Another great book

Favorite of the Series

The tale seemed padded to make it long enough. And the fact there was no search in a particular place was a major flaw for the suspension of my disbelief. Moving on to the next installment with hopes of a more satisfactory experience.

One of my least favorites in this series

Im working my way through this series! The characters are likeable or familiar and the story lines relevant to today’s headlines. However, there are subtle twists and turns that leave you guessing!Each story is very well written!

Always a unique story line

The book was spectacular as are the ones previously. DI Janssen and his team have a case that is devastating. They have to try and put all the puzzle pieces together to try and find the outcome.

The author would do well to stop with the ambiguous modifiers, the constant use of sucking air through teeth, and the confusion between infer and imply. Relationship with Allison and Tom is kind of annoying. He spends more time with the child then he does with Alice. It makes one wonder if he it’s his affection for the child that informs his relationship with the mother. Also, the narrator needs to work on his voices for children and women. I don’t know if I could bear to be around Saffy and I have to keep reminding myself that that is not what the author intended. Oh and please, for the love of God, get Tamara’s mother out of her house. The woman wants her daughter to have a lover and yet what man is going to spend weekends with someone whose parents live in the next room. Also, the mother is impossibly meddlesome.. The plots are excellent, and I do like the characters. The writing is quite good. In all of his books I get a very strong sense of place.

Some annoying habits

I had just finished ‘“A Long Time Dead”, which I loved, and wanted to read something else by this author. What a disappointment! The story pushed even my willingness to suspend reality, and I will excuse a lot if the writing is good. The police came across as complete idiots. The characters were forced and they tried so hard, they came across as unlikely and unlikeable. I couldn’t wait for this book to be over. When the sequel to Long Time Dead comes out, I’ll give it a try, but I won’t be listening to any more of this series.

I really wanted to like this
