Short & sweet…

Nice easy listen. The story kept me involved & I was def invested in the outcome. The narrator did a great job, would most def recommend!

Fine

It’s an okay story and the writing is okay too. Not bad, but also not memorable. I liked the narrator, but had a bit of a cringe moment when she sang ‘baby mine’ and obviously didn’t know the song. Either Google it next time or don’t sing a song if you don’t know the tune, lol.

Strong female lead for British crime series

Enjoyed the start to this series. Strong and stubborn Whitney has a big heart that drives her policework. I had to look up all the British police abbreviations as I didn't know what DS and DCI were, but I love learned stuff like that. Great beginning.

Peak into Walker's past

In the mood for a short but suspenseful detective tale? you have found it!

Yes, please!

I listened to book one in the series and when I saw this prequel, I knew I wanted to listen before going on in the series. It was a terrific choice for a terrific listen. It's free (as of this writing) and just shy of two hours. There is no downside with trying this listen to set the stage for the other books in the series.
