good book

excellent characters

good story

well developed characters over this book and all the earlier books

Rob Titchener Archers?

the story is well presented, and the characters' voices matched how I thought after reading the book.

if you are a BBC Archers fan, then voice of Jonathan Keeble is a little off-putting as it sounds exactly the same as Rob Titchener character from the Archers, so it's hard to get that psychopaths character out of your mind when you are listening to the story.

another excellent story

Really enjoyable book, story intriguing and lots of intertwining stories within the main story am moving straight on to the next one as both the internal relationships with the new chief and the murders are being revealed.
This was an excellent book, good for anyone looking to read or listen to a darn good mystery.

Should be labeled part 1

Story is good, lots of twists and turns. But it is really part 1 of a 2 part book.

Awesome read and Awesome narration..

Another great read in the DCI Ryan series. I just love this guy, as well as his new wife Anna, his partner Phillips and his fiancé MacKenzie, and I’ve always liked Lowerson until this book. He always struck me as a fun-loving good-ole-boy even if this is in England. Unfortunately, Jack Lowerson kind of lost his mind in this one and he still hadn’t come back around by the end of this story. That’s so sad.

This story was about a 30 year old murder of a 16 year old, committed by other teenagers. One of those teenagers had mental issues throughout life so the other killer had to commit another murder before they could say the wrong thing once the body of Duncan Gray was found. And another murder was committed out in the wood of a 21 year old student of Anna’s. AND another killer was found out and there was a chase on horseback to catch him, by Ryan and MacKenzie. Just one exciting this after another.

There never any sex in these books and the F-bomb is never used.

Of course, the killer got away so there’s the opening for the next book. And I sure hope Jennifer isn’t in too many more books. I cannot stand her, she’s evil.

As to the narration: Jonathan Keeble is amazing really. Could his women’s voices use a little practice? Yep, they sure could, but only a little. But his men’s voices are awesome and the distinction between them is incredible. You don’t even need to have the book tell you who’s talking, you just know by the voice Jonathan Keeble gave them in all 7 books.
