Our darkest secrets are best left buried....

When a local journalist is found dead in an isolated spot on Roydon Common, lying beneath a hangman's noose on the anniversary of a teenager's suicide, DI Tom Janssen is asked to take on the investigation as a favor to local colleagues and must unpick the deceased man's life to discover how he came to be there. The dead man was working on something, a story he was keeping close to his chest, and even those closest to him, loved ones and colleagues, were kept in the dark. He had his own secrets, a side to his character that he rarely showed to others unless they were unlucky. But what did he know that was so damaging as to be worth killing for?

As the team delve into his life, past and present, the investigation pulls in successful business people, grieving family members, and a local celebrity with fascinating stories to tell.

As past sins threaten to be exposed, will someone be forced into killing again?

Best Binging Books Ever

Page turner, stop in my driveway to finish a chapter
Totally a mystery with characters that are interesting and different but work together to solve these wonderfully deep diving mysteries. I can’t stop going book to book and I only hope this great author keeps writing 😎

No cessary

Not necessary. this is totally unnecessary. will not comply with ridiculous requirement to complete review.

Not bad, not bad ..

Dalgliesh's rather spotty writing performance is on the up with this one, plot-wise.
Not so much character-wise, as he can't seem to make a real person out of Tamara's mother, and Tamara herself is a bit annoying when dealing with her.
But at least the storyline is good and confusing. :D

Exceptional read

A two names that sounded similar so I got confused…otherwise excellent listening as usual. Love his books!

I do like his characters

The only “ complaint “ is that I had a good notion of the main plot about the incident.

Unusual mystery

Great story. Unusual combinationb of characters and events. Good narrator well worth reading more by this author

A Dark Sin

Great storyline excellent narrator! I usually figure them out but not this one.
I would recommend.

Lies, fear and revenge

This book was a little bit slower than the other books in the series. Revenge was the main theme in the story along with getting even for the wrong doings of the past. The narrator is great and actually brings the story to life

Good stories but….

The characters are inconsistent. In one mother & daughter are blonde. In the next the same characters are described as dark haired.

In another a main character’s family members are described as guilt laying vegans. A few books later they’re cooking meat.

I guess in the grand scheme, it makes no difference, but it’s still annoying.
