Publisher's summary

A fresh start in a place you hate. Even tougher with a killer watching....

Jane Osborne left Cambridge and vowed she'd never return. An unexpected twist of fortune results in DC Goodhew bringing her back to the remnants of her old life and a confrontation with the man who killed her sister.

Meanwhile a burning car on the outskirts of Cambridge leads to the discovery of the body of its owner, Paul Marshall. There seems nothing to connect it to either a recent assault, or to Jane Osborne, until a shocking discovery rips Goodhew's investigation apart.

Alison Bruce was born in Surrey in 1966 and moved to Cambridge in 1998. She has learnt about Cambridge and East Anglia from researching her two previous non-fiction books, Cambridgeshire Murders (Sutton Publishing) and The Billingtons, Death in the Family (also published by Sutton). She is married with two small children and enjoys horse riding and dancing, when not working on her new crime fiction series featuring DC Gary Goodhew.

Best series Ever

There are only 3 I think audiobooks that are available in audio.
The narrator is superb and captures all the characters perfectly.
The plots are complex and interesting.
I love the main character and he is brilliant.
Sometimes if there is too much conflict in the workplace of a police procedural it takes away from my enjoyment of the mystery because I hate unfairness
This is realistically written the story captured my interest and I had to keep listening till the end.
I sure do wish they would put the other books in the series on audible as it is hard when you love mysteries and have listened to so many wonderful authors and narrators and you find one you love and it only has a few of the books
I actually broke down and purchased the next one on kindle but I am so loving audio books that I hope I will have the patience to read it.
I only read short stories now as audio is so amazing
Thanks Audible
