Dunno

The story had potential however, the narrator ruined it for me with all the yelling and everyone sounding the same. The end was pretty good I'll say that.

Surprisingly good!

I have a bit of a distrust concerning the free audible content, but in case of this book I was pleasantly surprised.
A good interesting story, a bit if gruesomeness, good performance. Recommend

A page turner!

This is a fast-paced, gripping thriller mystery which I thoroughly enjoyed. I just couldn't stop listening. The narrator does a superb job. I was compelled to continue listening by the background story which you learn in the beginning, along with several cleverly timed twists and turns. I love that I was able to find a terrific free listen on Audible! Don't skip over this because it's free; if you enjoy detective fiction or mysteries, you'll love this title. A memorable story, well told--what more could you want on a cozy winter's eve?

A Mystery That Surprises

I enjoy a good mystery, but am turned off by too much violence and perversion. This had a psychological explanation, humor, drama and a surprise at the end while never going too deeply into the dark.

NO

Well I have to say I do not like books being read to me by 1 person. I like to hear the story line worked out as a real story. Now I understand that when you read a book on your own ,it is just 1 person, but you hear the story in your mind differently. It may be just me but that blew the whole series for me.

Book ok, narrator almost spoiled it

Was hard to concentrate on the book. Took me a while to figure out what was wrong. The narrator is so utterly unnatural. Tatatata -speed reading, then a loooooong pause between sentences, tatatata again, pauuuse, voice going up and down and all over the place as he was trying to act the roles. Awful. Made me angry, anxious, frustrated. Not the feelings I wish to experience because of the narrator. Almost made me throw my ipad out of the window at times.

Surprised me at the end, good read.

Good read check it out. I enjoyed reading this story. it surprised me at the end

wowser!

dark but with a sense of humor. will definitely be looking for other books by the same author.

DI Barton is Terrific.

The interweaving of plots and backstories make this a terrific book. DI Barton and his coworkers work together to solve crimes. He and his family offer context and just enough humor to ease reading of gruesome crimes.

I wanted to love this, but didn’t. Possible spoiler but not?

The storyline was good and interesting enough I suppose. However, I love while reading a suspenseful book that I get the chance figure all the twists out by the end. With this one the writer lets you know early on, which for me was a bummer. Still a good story and the performance was great too. Just found myself ready to be done about 2/3 of the way through.
