Never to Return

The Wild Fens Murder Mystery Series, Book 6

By: Jack Cartwright

Narrated by: Graham Mack

Some lies will never stay hidden.

When the body of a teenage boy is found in the River Witham, it falls to DI Freya Bloom and her team to raise the truth from the depths.

The boy, nicknamed Simple Simon, was a troubled soul. But when Bloom digs deeper into Simon’s life, she discovers that not only was he the victim of a viscous cyber bullying attack, but also suffered sexual abuse. Was his death a shocking teenage suicide, or does somebody have a terrible secret to hide?

With four potential suspects in the firing line, and guilt in every one of their eyes, Bloom must make some difficult choices. But as the investigation progresses, one thing becomes abundantly clear—Simple Simon wasn’t as simple as everybody thought. In fact, he was smarter than them all.

Never to Return is the chilling sixth book in the brand-new British crime series from USA Today best-selling author Jack Cartwright. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, JM Dalgliesh, Rachel McClean, and Ann Cleeves.

Another great in the series

Another twist and turn. Can’t wait for the next one of the series They just get better

Improved, but spare me the bathroom humor

This is an improvement over Book 5, with character shown in actions rather than told or spoken between characters. The story is rather too multiźlayered, and the Greek tragedy-esque ending for one arc is excessive. And, for goodness sake, leave out the bathroom humor. B-o-r-i-n-g!

Great storyline

Enjoyed the character development but thought some of the banter was repetitive. The plot was masterfully executed.
