About this listen

When Devon and Cornwall Police begin to investigate the strangulation and skinning of a young man, they discover the remains of a missing child nearby.

Having recently arrived from London, DCI Peter Moone is put in charge of the case alongside the tough talking local DS Mandy Butler. They soon find themselves sinking deep into a dark world of child abuse and murder.

With his last case in London still haunting him, Moone feels ill-equipped to solve the investigation and ends up seeking help from sinister quarters. But soon the detective wonders if he’ll even live to regret his decision.

If enjoy the books of Helen H. Durrant, James Oswald, Joy Ellis, Angela Marsons, L.J. Ross, Alex Smith, J.M. Dalgliesh, and Biba Pearce, you’ll love Mark Yarwood’s new crime thriller series. Book two coming soon.

Very good story, really engrossing, but annoying female voice, recorded as though she was on a telephone, giving a strange effect. Also very annoying is that Moon’s stomach is constantly in a state of upheaval, “his stomach lurched, twisted, churned” almost once a day!

Strange female voice.

The two voice reading just doesn’t work for me and the fact that the female voice is particularly tinny makes it work. There might be a good story in there somewhere but I’m so put off by the voicing I can’t be bothered to find out. I wish I hadn’t wasted a credit on the book.

Most annoying reading I’ve heard from Audible.
