Part 3 getting even better
As with the previous books a number of new and ongoing stories are skillfully blended. Complete in its own right it also sets up part 4 wonderfully.
Toby Longworth is a wonderful narrator who skilfully brings a range of accents to the story. Well worth listening to anything he narrates.
Hull and its environs are brought to life by a writer who knows and loves the area.
Recommended for lovers of detective stories with a wider edge.
