Impurity

DI Stewart Gardener, Book 1

De: Ray Clark

Narrado por: Greg Wagland

A murder with no weapon or motive. A detective on edge. A community that wants answers. Impurity is the first in a series of six books featuring Leeds based Detective Inspector Stewart Gardener.

One fateful night, DI Stewart Gardener intervenes in a street brawl, and his wife is shot dead. Finding his wife’s murderer is never far from his mind, but with no leads and a hazy recollection of events, it seems hopeless.

Soon he is presented with a shocking case. A man is found dead in a grubby apartment, and It is not long before another man meets the same fate. The deaths are caused by a rapid disintegration of the victims’ flesh.

Pathology cannot ascertain the cause. The only connection between the victims is they both worked seasonally as Santas. Who would want to kill such innocuous men as these? Can DI Gardener overcome his grief and solve the case?

Be aware

This book is well written but if you have been a victim of sexual abuse or sexual violence I would recommend you proceed with caution. This book is explicit.

Great listen

Tough subject - handled as well as possible. Would be interested in other books by this author.

Painful

But too cheesy for me . I tuned in for crime novel but had to stop after too much fluff

A bit depressing

Filled with a lot of dislikeable characters who take up all the space. Needs more of the grandfather, son, Irish partner, and motorcycle! The dissolving chemical death was gross and depressing as well as too unbelievable.
