Blast from the Past

DI Bob Willis, Book 2

De: Damien Boyd

Narrado por: Nicholas Boulton

A dark cloud casts a long shadow in this thriller from the bestselling DI Bob Willis series.

It is 1986. Assigned to a new Cold Case Unit, retired Detective Inspector Mungo ‘Bob’ Willis has reopened the investigation into the 1962 disappearance of a nine-year-old boy. Paul Bromfield was snatched from one of the last steam trains from Evercreech Junction to Burnham-on-Sea and later found dead in an abandoned bunker.

A day at the seaside turned to tragedy. And a child’s name everyone remembers.

The killer has been watching—waiting for this moment. When another child vanishes and chilling messages begin to arrive, Bob finds himself caught in a dangerous game. With time running out, he must decipher clues that have been hidden in plain sight for decades; clues that point to the lasting fallout of a forgotten nightmare.

The truth is still out there. And it’s not finished with him yet.

What a Ride!

Damien Boyd has done it again. Books as enthralling as this one are few and far between.

Old wounds

Blast From The Past is another great addition to the DI Bob Willis series. Bob has retired and is now working as a civilian consultant in the Cold Case Unit. While investigating a crime from 1962, the offender strikes again. Can Bob and the team find the culprit before someone else dies? The solo narration by Nicholas Boulton was spectacular. He portrayed each and every character perfectly. I highly recommend listening to this fabulous audiobook.

Strength to strength.

Really loved this book, this series is going from strength to strength and I fervently hope this isn’t the last we’ll see of DI Mungo (Bob) Willis (retired) I love the characters and particularly enjoy the narration. Great book all round.

I love Bob!

Another well crafted mystery for Bob to solve and more insight into this wonderful retired DI. Bob and Angela are a great team!
