A CHILLING NORFOLK BROADS CRIME THRILLER!

A haunted crypt, a bullied boy, and an artist’s will: a benevolent gesture or a satanic curse?

When the body of a local artist is found mutilated inside a five-pointed star, DCI Tanner’s attention turns to the disciples of a Satanic cult.

Switching to a new narrator mid-series just ruined the story.

Please Re-record this book with Jonathan Keeble - he is the voice of DI Tanner!

Loved this book.!!

I found myself laughing out loud..!!
The narrator for this 13th novel in the series was priceless.. loved it.

Who wrote this??

I was so disappointed in how bad this one was compared to the other 12. The storyline has now become so formulaic as to be boring, the endless silly banter between Tanner and Gilbert and Tanner and his wife bordering on circus silly. Tanner as a character has become slightly incredulous with his decisions, Forrester worse than ever. And now Tanner has suddenly become a supercilious a-hole to his subordinates. Lastly this narrator was awful with Tanner’s voice and the emotions behind it. What happened to David Blake?

Worst of the series

The change in narrator was okay. The main character was horrible and I don't remember him being that way. He constantly told stupid jokes that were childish. There was no further character development to balance it out. This is the first time, out of hundreds of audio books where I feel like I wasted a credit.

What Happened to Jonathan Keeble?

I'm sure the new narrator would have been fine in another series and if he had started from the beginning but why change at this point in the series? Disappointing. 😞

This had been a decent series

Massively disappointing. There is a new narrator, who is amateurish when compared to the original one. The story line wanders. I don’t know what happened with this author, but this last book was a chore to finish.
