De: Matt Brolly

Narrado por: Danielle Cohen

A chilling attack. A missing child. And a twisted killer driven to the very brink.

DI Louise Blackwell is still reeling from her brother Paul's murder when she is brought back from enforced leave and tasked with solving a strange new case - the slaughter of wild sheep at Cheddar Gorge, a place shrouded in mystery and folklore.

When a man is brutally attacked with a machete on the clifftop and a young girl disappears, Louise realises that the horror is just beginning. Rumours of a mythical presence near the gorge are spreading fast, and why is a local environmental cult resisting all attempts to solve the case? With the investigation into Paul's death about to be shelved and her bereaved niece to care for, Louise is under pressure - and running out of time. Can she find the girl and catch the kidnapper before her worst fears come true?

Drawn deeper into the dark and shocking truth behind the crimes, she soon finds she isn't the only one with secrets to hide.

Excellent book and narration!

This series has been a pleasure to read! D.I. Louise Lewis has had more of her share of challenges & tragedies in her life that has forced her to overcome many things both professionally and personally. Her success on the job is well earned & does not come easily, especially when a previous Colleague set her up by instructing her to shoot an unarmed suspect which almost cost her the career she worked hard to achieve. This evil Detective has been attempting to undermine her all the way. Although the superiors believed her, it’s difficult to prove. In spite of all of this, she has solved some major cases. This case was very confusing &all over the place, resulting in the 2 children being taken, and thankfully both returned. Her brother's murderer was revealed also, despite her nemesis attempting shelf the investigation. I am eager to see how this is going to come to a head between them!

good read

This book was a good read. My issue was the repeat of how the detective and her former colleague had a run on and she nearly lost her job while be for promoted. Other than that, the story was easy to follow and suspense was thrilling.

Enjoyed

It kept my interest. I enjoyed listening to the book. Looking forward to the next book.

Good Series

I really enjoy this series. DI Lousie Blackwell is a believable character, as are her actions and language. Each book takes on a new case, while continuing to follow Lousies family. The narration is perfection. I recommend this series to anyone.

Such an odd case

The animosity and drama with DCI Finch is getting old. The issue between Blackwell and Finch is constantly being rehashed every time Finch is in a chapter 🙄 Kill ‘em with kindness and move on already! This was an odd, convoluted case. Also, am I the only one annoyed that Louise sees her niece as the victim in her cases? So glad the strange case was solved.
