Loved it!

The Yorkshire Dipper has all the elements that make a good mystery/thriller. It was my entertainment on a cross state excursion and made the time goquick as I couldn't wait to fnd out what happened next. The characters and plot was rich. The narrator Naomi Rose-Mock was also great. I thought her voice, pitch ans speed were perfect.

I recieved this book free for my honest review.

Amazing

There are so many twists, turns and surprises in this book. I found this author on TikTok and I’m sure glad I gave this book a chance. The characters and plot are beyond intriguing and I listened to this book in two nights at work! I couldn’t stop! The end leaving you wanting the next book immediately!! Read this thriller asap!!

Not to be missed ! it is a fabulous thriller book.

From time to time one discover a less known author and wonder … why isn't this writer all over the NY best list ?
Maria Frankland is such a writer and i can bet she will soon become the famous one … I told you so !

Her writing is fabulously engaging, her characters are extremely well developed and her story is well rounded.
’The Yorkshire Dipper’ is a classic whodunnit story. Women drown after a night of partying and drinking and at first everyone think that their demise is just due to the alcohol abuse. But the sheer number of them becomes too much to stay believable.
The authors leads you to guesses the culpit roughly around the 75% mark, but … off course it would just be too simple ! You get hints that maybe you’re on the wrong suspect … but you really need to wait for the last two chapters to get full closure.
Woaw. I loved it !
As i caught myself few time thinking … I already know that … i would say that some details were a little redundant ( like the circumstances of Will’s brother death, DC Ingham’s back story, or Mark’s pain ), but not enough for infringing on my liking the story.

I would highly recommend this book. The narration was great with voice variation for each character, well paced.
I was fortunate to receive this free audiobook and leave this review voluntarily.

Suspenseful thriller
