November Dead List

A Full-Cast Crime Drama: The Complete Series 1 and 2

By: Nick Perry

Narrated by: full cast, Nicola Walker, Lia Williams

DCI Greave is on the hunt for serial killers in this gripping Radio 4 full cast crime series.

Series 1:
Each Roman Catholic parish compiles a Book of the Dead from the lists of departed loved ones submitted by parishioners. Printed on the front of the envelopes are three words: November Dead List. In this series, a young priest opens one such envelope and discovers - not a list of the dead but a list of people he knows to be alive, and members of his congregation. At first he thinks it's someone's idea of a joke. Then the people named start turning up dead.

Series 2:
Set in rural Norfolk, one of the lowest crime areas in the country, DCI Greave leads a team investigating two potentially linked murders. Both victims had their heads shaved antemortem and Greave discovers a link to a case in London a couple of years ago: the Dead List murders. At each crime scene, she's found prayer cards depicting Christian martyrs whose deaths corresponds to the victims in her case.

Wonderful performance

It was a very satisfying ending though it ended too soon. I hated it was over! The performances were wonderful. .

Come for Nicola Walker stay for the twist

It was a quick listen. A decent mystery with great voice actors and a nice twist at the end.

Good listen, excellent narration

If Nicola Walker reads it, I'll listen. Interesting story and plot line, Well done.

Quick read. Good twist.

Selected this for my library only because of Nicola Walker. Good story at the start, didn't expect the twist. Overall, a good story. But I never like when new characters are presented at the very end of a mystery.
Quick read, fizzled a little towards the end but still enjoyed.

it got better

struggled to get thru the first 4 chapters/episodes but the story got better after that.
