About this listen

A woman is found dead by a canal. Her eyes have been poked out.

Detective Stephen Greco has just started his job at Oldston CID and is faced with several murders with no obvious connection except for the murderer's penchant for disfigurement. His team are crumbling under the pressure; he doesn't know whom he can trust. Can Greco regain composure and control in order to stop the murders?

Very poor sound quality, partly due to narrators voice! It's so low at times it can't be heard!! Story ok but the poor sound spoilt it for me!!!

This appeare the be the first book in a Series and spends a lot of work setting up the characters to the detriment of the story. the end is also far too pat!

I will get the next book because I was happy to listen to the story. I hope it offers more depth as the basic premises is good.

the first book in a series

Again great storyline, wish I had listened to this one before the other one, only one more to go and I will have the full story, and I'm sure I will enjoy just as much👍☺

I love this author's Calladine and Bayliss series, and have met DI Greco a couple of times in those books, and this is a spin-off series where Greco takes the lead.

There are dark themes in this book - child abuse, gambling, debt, drugs, terrorism. The plot is exciting and well written with plenty of twists and turns. We learn more of Greco's backstory. He didn't come across too well in the C & B series, but in this one we learn why he came to Oldston, and we see a more human side to him, though he still isn't a people person!

I didn't enjoy this as much as the C & B series, but I think that Greco might just grow on me so I'm looking forward to listening to the next one.

Interesting start to the series

I think this could be quite a good book. Unfortunately I could only hear half of it. The narrator, while making each person identifiable, has an annoying habit of constantly dropping his voice to a whisper. If you have the volume loud enough for these sections, it's way too loud the rest of the time. Unfortunately, I will be returning it

Terrible narration
