A rapist in a police uniform stalks Challis’ Peninsula beat, there is a serial armed robber headed in his direction and a home invasion that’s a little too close to home. Not to mention a very clever, very mysterious female cat burglar who may or may not be planning something on Challis’ patch.

The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

Another good Hal Challis book
Unfortunately, this narrator is not the greatest, but I found it possible to get past it most of the time. Some of the books in this series are by other narrators, one of them very good, so far. The stories in this series are interesting in a believable way. It is best to start with the first book in order to be up with the changes in the characters' lives. Australia is an important character in the series, adding interest.

Narrator ruins the book
This narrator spoiled the book for me. The narrator of the previous book, Drew de Carvalho, was very good. Unfortunately I won’t be able to listen to most of these books, which are otherwise very good due to this narrator. His narration consists of reading the book out loud with no attempt to differentiate between characters. And his voice grates on my nerves. I have come to have higher expectations for the narration on audiobooks. Spoiled maybe. This didn’t cut it.

Disappointed..
If I wanted liberal politics I would have purchased 'What Happened'. The women's issues have become old and tiresome--as well as rest of the leftist narrative. Story and characters have just become vehicles for the author's opinions. I read for relaxation and enjoyment and found neither in this book.
