A Hidden Norfolk Thriller, Book 15

De: J M Dalgliesh

Narrado por: Greg Patmore

You can hide, but you can't run...

When the body of a church warden is discovered hanging from the belfry of a village church, DI Tom Janssen and his team must investigate the circumstances that led to his death.

Whilst navigating the fallout from the conclusion of their previous case, the Norfolk CID team is under intense scrutiny with another police force investigating their recent conduct. Some people would like nothing more than to see the team fail. With no clear motive for murder or a reason to take his own life, the team have little to go on.

Meanwhile, a hit and run accident on the Sandringham Estate leaves a pregnant woman in hospital and when the fleeing vehicle is located—abandoned beside a coastal sailing club—the investigating team find more than they bargained for when they look inside.

The hunt is on for a brutal murderer whose motives and goals are unknown, and when other interested parties appear in the area the stakes are raised further. Just who are the hunters, who is watching and, more importantly, who is the prey?

Watch and Prey is the latest book in the Amazon #1 bestselling series, by British crime writer, J M Dalgliesh, the multi-million selling author of The Misty Isle and Dark Yorkshire books.

Solid Series

I happened on the series on an Audible daily offer and fell in love with it. I really like JM Dalgleish’s writing and Padmore’s narration is great.

one of his best

amazing tension and mystery ratio. loved every second of it. one of his best books yet

Maybe one too many coincidences?

Not my favorite in the series but I like the team and the surroundings. The narrator still does a poor job with female voices. They all sound like old ladies, even 5 year old Saffy. But I have accepted that.

Surprise twists

Enjoyed the narration. Nice plot. Will listen to more from this writer and narrator. Enjoyed the tension.

Surprise!

There was a nice twist at the end but with a rather abrupt ending leaving much to learn.

Story was ok, backstory was weak

This book was OK. The storyline was OK —adequate detective story. However, it was not much backstory. For example, what’s happening in the lives of the chief inspector or the sergeant or his boss which you started in the previous series, but didn’t talk about much in this story. that would’ve added to the storyline
