The instant Sunday Times bestseller. 'A deftly-written whodunnit' Jennie Godfrey

There's a killer on the airwaves… and they're calling for you.

Darkness looms over sunny Sidmouth, when an unsolved murder comes to the attention of late-night radio talk show host Edward Temmis.

Recently sacked from his beloved job, Edward meets Stevie, whose grandmother died in a suspicious fire. Well, nobody hurts his listeners and helping Stevie might just give him the purpose he needs.

Reinvigorated, Edward joins forces with Stevie and his old fling, Kim, only to uncover a sinister plot.

Can they get to the bottom of this mystery before it’s too late?

'Hugely enjoyable' Janice Hallett

Critic reviews

'Funny yet poignant, cosy yet complex, familiar yet unique, I loved this deftly written whodunnit’ Jennie Godfrey, The List of Suspicious Things
' Strap yourself in for a wild ride … An intriguing, complex and hugely enjoyable small-town whodunnit, with vivid characters and a sophisticated plot. Can’t wait for the next instalment of this vibrant new series!' Janice Hallett, The Examiner
'Quirky, charming and full of heart. Jam-packed with engaging and eccentric characters, wit and energy … will appeal to fans of The Satsuma Complex and A Man Called Ove ' C. L. Taylor, Every Move You Make
'A genuinely original concept, well-written with an ending that keeps you guessing' Jeffrey Archer, Traitors Gate
'Written with a fine eye for the elegant phrase, and laden with deftly sparkling comic touches, Jeremy Vine’s Murder On Line One serves both as a trenchant reflection on the grief that follows personal tragedy and a poignant love letter to a changing radio industry. A meditative and polished mystery debut' Vaseem Khan
‘Atmospheric and with lots of charm, you’ll whip right through it’ The Daily Mirror
‘A hymn to the art of a radio phone-in … a surprisingly touching and funny read’ Daily Telegraph

I loved the story but found the listen boring at times, even when slowed to 95,%. I love Jeremy but he needs to get a professional narrator for the future. Marion Keyes has narrated some of her more recent books and it just never works. if Jeremy continues to narrate his own books, I shall read hard copy in the future because the story is actually so very good.

Great story

I did enjoy the story and would probably listen to the next in the series but I really disliked the narration. Jeremy sounded like he was on the radio, speaking in short, staccato soundbites. I got used to it but nearly gave up after the first couple of chapters.
I thought Stevie was supposed to have a Glaswegian accent !!! Please leave narration to the professional narrators.

Good story, shame about the narration

I was distracted listening to this book with the author narrating it. There is a great story, with lots of different threads but Jeremy kept lapsing into an odd delivery. His Scottish accent is rubbish!

Jeremy.....leave the narration to a professional!

Great story.....shame about the narration!
