What Lies Beneath

Rutland Crime, Book 1

The first in a stunning new crime series from international best seller Adam Croft.

A peaceful Sunday morning in Rutland is shattered when a dead body is discovered on the rocks at Normanton Church. The victim has been laid out in a crucifixion pose, facing the altar. DI Caroline Hills is certain there’s a religious connection - one which threatens the tranquillity of life in the area. The killer has gone to extraordinary lengths to make the symbolism clear. And the deaths will continue until Caroline and DS Dexter Antoine uncover the truth behind the dark secret - and what lies beneath.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Incredible.” (BBC News)

“A sensation.” (The Guardian)

Monotone narration; same voice for each character

Story was fine but the droning of voice makes my thoughts drift. I’m glad it was free

Meh - Skip This One

Not impressed. The main character is annoying, self centered and critical. I made it about half way thru and then gave up. Plot is so-so. Narrator does a good job though. I'm skipping the rest of the series.

Enjoyable!

A light enjoyable detective mystery.
Being quite a short story, the characters aren't that developed, but the story had a good pace.
Good narration.

Thanks for the free listen

I am looking for a new British-set detective series with relatable characters. I liked this book
However, I found the secondary characters more interesting than the lead. I probably won't follow.

Really awful.

I am done with Audible's selection of thrillers, this one being part of a long line of truly awful books.
