Set under the brooding skies of North Norfolk. Meet Sara Hirst as she searches for her lost father and finds that great beauty sometimes conceals great violence.

Detective Sara Hirst has moved from London to Norfolk Police's Serious Crimes Unit. She wants to know the truth about her father, who has connections to the area. Her mother won't tell her the real story.

A new job. A new place. Same old problems.

Sara's first call-out is to a decomposing body discovered in a ditch on a local farm. How does the murder relate to a recent spate of thefts? Who wanted the victim dead?

Then the case grows very personal....

Contains mature themes.

I like the story line. It has lots of twists and turns. The mature themes are a little difficult but they reflect real life so what can you do? I am interested in the main characters growth. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

I think the story would have benefited if the characters were less “black and white” …

Good writing, interesting characters from a liberal writer with an agenda

Her mother prevented her from having a father and it was the protagonist 's fault? Weak.

solid story without absurd plot twists.

Narration was excellent, the story was interesting and moved along. Will look for other books by this good author. Recommend this highly.

Good

I’m going to listen to the next in the series cause it’s showing promise. Story was decent, but not great. It connected and came together but I felt there was some unnecessary characters who may play more of a role as the series progresses.

Decent listen

The lead character Sarah is pathetic. A cop that faints and is a sad drama queen should find another job. Too bad, otherwise the story overall is good.

pathetic heroin

Sigh.. I don’t know why I didn’t just give up on it after the first few chapters...
I felt compelled to finish a thoroughly disappointing book... ugh

Too Long,.. Too Brutal..: Too Cruel

Once again, the main focus was the author’s liberal agenda rather than the mystery! I’m so disappointed in this series.

Dissapointed

I love a good mystery, but this story wasn't very compelling and the main character's actions were a disappointment throughout.
