One lie requires commitment.... Multiple lies require dedication....

When the remains of a young woman are discovered near to Branodunum, a Roman archaeological site on the Norfolk coast, DI Tom Janssen and his team must work to discover who she was and how she came to be buried there.

The area is steeped in myth and folklore, a site excavated many times over the years. Just how long has she lain there...and who wishes she'd never been discovered? As the victim’s life comes into sharp focus, it appears there is far more to those who crossed her path than anyone previously realised. Uncovering dark secrets at every turn, DI Janssen must unravel the web of deceit in order to unmask a killer; possibly the most cold blooded and dangerous murderer he has ever faced.

Set within the mysterious beauty of coastal Norfolk, this fast-paced British detective novel is a dark murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end when the final shocking twist is revealed. Kill Them Cold is the seventh novel in the Hidden Norfolk series of thrillers from the million selling British crime writer, JM Dalgliesh, the author of the Dark Yorkshire books. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk, Angela Marsons, Joy Ellis, and Damien Boyd.

Complex and interesting

This story is impeccably performed, the plot is intricate and the characters interesting. A chilling but un-hysterical tale thankfully without blood and gore but with great psychological interest.

A good read

This book followed the series plot lines and added more pieces to the character development of the principal players. I did not devour this book like earlier volumes in the series. but it provided many hours of entertainment.

Even they are Evil

Loved it.
No struggle. I read all night (reread what I slept througg) and all day. With my eatbuds on, have learned to nod understandimgly when people talk to me as though I hear them. At least I don't work, and it's only my family I iritate with passion for mysteries. Greg Patmore is my favorite narrator and hope he continues narrating these and many others

Insensitive treatment of suspect.

Spoiler alert. If you haven’t read the book, wait until you’ve finished. My review gives too much away, but is given as feedback for the author. I enjoyed much of this book but it seemed wrong that the prime suspect, Alex, was clearly suffering from mental illness, yet the detectives never considered having a professional evaluate him or assist with interrogation to insure he was treated appropriately. Ultimately he met his death by accident or suicide, largely due to the callous treatment by the team. I was disappointed that at no time did they seem to take responsibility for this. It made me very uncomfortable.

Enjoyable Series

Overall, these are a very good listen! I enjoy the Tom Janssen series best! Not the biggest fan of the narration— save for Tom’s voice. I just feel like he’s so “breathy” for lack of a better word. Still, I have listened to them all and have gotten used to him.

The novels are a good diversion, though, and well written.

Best so far!

This is a great series and this has been the best book so far. The last part was a intense.

I’m glad I found this author and that there are more books to read.

OK but not good

I'm beginning to be driven mad by a few writing habits that Dalgliesh can't stop himself from using: the way his characters fold their arms across their chests, for one - where else do people fold their arms ?! But the one I hate most - and it seems to be appearing more often - is what they do with their mouths: they run their tongues around the insides of their cheeks; they fold their lower lips under their top lips; they turn their mouths down (and there are more) .. And when a character did something with his/her mouth and then folded his/her arms across the chest .. well .. I nearly deleted the audiobook then and there !
The plot was too handy: that the first group of people they came across were the very ones. Some characters are very 2-dimensional.
The narrator needs to be told how to pronounce "tongue" ..
Whoever is Dalgliesh's editor needs a swift kick.
