In Liverpool, a woman inexplicably leaps to her death. The following morning, two bodies are found on nearby Crosby Beach: a woman tied to a statue, and a man buried up to his neck and left to drown. When a nine-month-old murder case is reopened, DI Sheridan Holler is shocked to uncover family connections between the victim, Daniel Parks, and the three unexplained deaths. With Daniel’s body still missing and the number-one suspect cleared of the crime, Holler’s cold case suddenly becomes a major murder investigation.

Brilliant Legal Novel
Reviewed: 01-05-24
One of the best legal plots I have come across on Audible - and I have listened to lots!
Great narration - excellent characterisation - Roger Wayne is definitely one of the best US male narrators - his female characters are exceptionally believable.
I hope there will be more from this author.

Special Agent Constant Marlowe is tasked with taking over the investigation of an obsessed serial killer trolling the small town of Clark Valley in the quiet—and eerie—plains of the Midwest. Two female victims in quick succession, the same brutal MO, and every indication that victim number three is only days away. Also in the killer’s scope is Constant herself. When she interviews a local family who may be potential witnesses, she leads the devil to their doorstep, throwing their lives into chaos.

A thoroughly enjoyable detective series. Great plots and well written. Refreshing to have pleasant, down to earth characters within the police force.
Well narrated with good characterisation.
I hope Ms Steadman will write more in this genre.

A killer stalks the streets of London, murdering the richest people in the capital. Is this the work of a serial killer, or just someone angry with the super rich? Or is there another reason why billionaires are being killed every three days? Detective Inspector Simon Wise, reeling from the death of his partner and harbouring more than a few secrets of his own, is assigned to the case. But the killer leaves no clues as to their identity, only bodies in their wake, and each new death sends Wise's team in startling new directions.

A well written new detective series - hopefully the first of many instalments - especially if the inspector’s mood is less morose in the next ones.
Excellent narration too!

Detective Lauren Pengelly has only been part of the Penzance police force for less than two years, but that’s enough time to know that the sleepy Cornish town doesn’t see many murders. So, when the bones of a woman with a hole in her skull are discovered behind a derelict cottage, she immediately assumes the worst. Rallying her team, Lauren is flooded with a strange sense of relief when the bones turn out to be almost twenty years old, not a recent victim. But it quickly turns to dread when she receives her second heart-stopping call of the day–a little girl, Isla, has been kidnapped.

As an Audible addict, good books seemed to have eluded me recently - was beginning to think I’d heard them all. This book was like a breath of fresh air after sitting in a stuffy room.
Fantastic narration too - Ms Corbett never fails to bring a book to life - especially ones with children in the storyline.

It was meant to be Caitlin's perfect summer, but betrayed by her best friend and her boyfriend, she finds herself hitchhiking home alone, heartbroken, and penniless. When a smiling family pulls up on the roadside to help her on her way, she's relieved at first - they seem friendly, normal. And when they offer her a warm bed in their cottage for the night, she's grateful - it's not safe for young women travelling alone in the dark, and she's in no rush to get home, where she knows a grave secret is due to blow her family apart.

A well written and unusual storyline. Excellent plot that portrays how humanity can vary from one extreme to another.
The narration brought the various characters to life - especially the youngest little girl’s dialogue - made me laugh out loud.

In the wake of the cataclysmic events that reshaped our world in 2020, a sense of relief washed over us all. By late 2023, I think we were ready to just live life again. I know I was. It was a time to make new friends and put the past to rest. Rayne and I hadn’t known each other long, but we were building a solid friendship, nothing more. It was our common interests that sent us on vacation together to my remote cabin. What we didn’t, couldn’t know, was that we were on a collision course with the end of the world as we knew it.

A thoroughly enthralling new post apocalyptic novel which I hope will be the first of many with this story line.
The fact it is narrated by Christopher Lane is the cherry on the top - I could listen to his voice all day.
