Resumen del Editor

Detective Ford has a cold-blooded killer to catch. But can he escape his own dark secrets?

Barely a month since his promotion to Inspector, DI Ford is called in to investigate the murder of a young nurse and her son in a small flat in Salisbury. There are few clues, and no apparent motive, but Ford can sense that there's a serial killer at work. After all, he knows from brutal personal experience how killers cover their tracks....

It's been six years since Ford lost his wife in a climbing accident - an accident he caused. He is desperate to keep the truth hidden, especially from his son, Sam. But Ford's new partner, Dr. Hannah Fellowes, is a crime scene investigator with a ruthlessly analytical mind, and as they work together to track down the killer, his crippling guilt is compounded by fear of exposure.

When instinct leads him towards a high-profile suspect, his superiors' warnings just make him more determined to connect impulse and fact. But can Ford hold it all together - the case, his life - long enough to stop the killer?

Good story

Kept me guessing until the last minute, original villian and crimes. Highly recommend for fans of mystery and police procedurals.

I could not put this down!

This was my first book by this author and it will not be my last! Gripping crime story that kept me guessing! I loved how all of the characters were written, even with the most hated ones. I couldn't put this book down and I can't wait to start number 2!
Steve West's performance was excellent! Every single character that was done and the range of emotions portrayed was so damn good! From the creepiest evil guy to the sweetest woman. Always a pleasure to listen to any narration he does.

An egotistical killer…who knew?

DI Ford’s 1st case, since his promotion, is a doozy…someone is committing murders and draining the victims’ blood. Ford has a suspect in mind except, the suspect has friends in high places. Can Ford outmaneuver a clever killer? Great story with excellent narration!!! Looking forward to the next book!

Narrator is way too effusive!!

The story was OK, not great. But it went from OK to this is driving me nuts because of the narrator. The narrator would scream adjectives and was just way too much of everything! I’m going to remember his name and make sure I don’t download a book that he’s narrating.

Steve West is outstanding in Shallow Ground

A very compelling and captivating mystery as Det. Ford and his team seek to solve the murders of seemingly unrelated victims. New to the force is Dr. Hannah Fellowes an FBI trained investigator with a few endearing quirks.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading other books by author Andy Maslen. I also highly recommended the Audible book by Steve West. He delivers another excellent performance.

Tortured Hero

An interesting series starter with the nicest tortured hero you’ve ever met. Its strong female characters add depth.

Great Story, Lovely Voice

Andy Maslen wrote a great book and paired it with Steve West great narrating voice, winner

Excellent book and Narrator!

The author did a great job on this book, it kept me going nonstop until late into the evening. This audio version is excellent! Suspense & drama, you are really not positive of who it is until the end. I look forward to more of this series and more of this authors work!

Good police story

With good character development.
I'm looking forward to the next book in series.
The narrator was decent, and the women were fair. The big issue was West's lack of volume control. He needs to figure out how distance raised voices from the mike. The sudden yelling in my ear was jarring.

Boring!

Excruciatingly boring! I do about 40 audible books a year and usually get through one in a week or less. this one too several weeks. Didn't dare listen to it when I was driving! ZZZZ!
