Death's Door

De: Jim Kelly

Narrado por: Roger May

On a hot August day in 1994, 76 holidaymakers travel to an island off the North Norfolk coast. Only 75 return alive - a young man is murdered, the case left unsolved. Twenty years later, using state-of-the-art forensics, the DNA results of a blood-soaked towel prompt DI Peter Shaw to summon all 75 original suspects to a mass screening. But one of them, the beautiful Marianne Osbourne, is found dead in her bed. Is there a link to the 1994 murder? DI Shaw and DS Valentine become immersed in the dark secrets of an isolated community.

Enjoyable if somewhat confusing

I tend to listen to my books in the car, so only do so with half an ear. A couple of times I had to go back as I was certain I'd missed something because what I was hearing didn't quite make sense. I learnt that in fact, it was they way the story's written that means having to listen further for everything to fall into place.
The descriptive passages were excellent and I could feel myself there.
The detective's disability (I won't mention it here for obvious reasons) almost seemed like an afterthought and didn't add anything to the story.
