Another corker!

I love the DCI Hanlon books so much that as soon as my credit is available, I buy the next one in the series. This book is great, a little far fetched and totally not by the rules but it’s an easy listen and if you know and like Hanlon, you’ll like a little bit more after this book. Excellently narrated by the very talented Adjoa Andoh.

enjoyed the book, not so much the fat shaming

great narration, story ok, author seems obsessed with characters weight. One woman in the book we are told is a size 12, then later we are told 'despite her size' she manages to climb into a tractor. Another character spends all three books bemoaning his lost physique. Yes spoiled it for me.

DCI Hanlon at her best

Hanlon has been relocated to preserve her career, as she is a 'take action' kind of woman which is why we love her, but her bosses are not so keen, although Corrigan has always been on her side which is why she's now in Slough listening to a Russian woman talk about her missing (presumed dead) husband. Hanlon is not at all interested until she hears the magic words ' Arkady Belanov ' and then she is all ears.

What follows is simply brilliant, vengeance on all (well most) of Hanlon's enemies, but I do admit that this leaves me worried about the future of this series. I sincerely hope that there will be more Hanlon books for me to obsess over.

Oh, and by the way, Adjoa Andoh narrates this marvellously, get it now, you will not regret it, unless you are new to DI Hanlon in which case you might want to start at book 1 because that is also brilliant, and will give you an idea of what is going on, although this book could be listened to as a standalone it will be much better enjoyed as part of the series.

Terrible Russian accent

I enjoyed the other D I Hanlon books but not so much with this one. Although Adjoa Andoh has a lovely speaking voice and is a very good narrator I'm afraid her Russian accent really put me off, it sounded like someone trying to do a cartoon version with a mouth full of rice pudding. It made me feel quite nauseous.
Slow start, very brutal and depressing in the middle (i almost gave up on it) but picks up at the end with a reasonable conclusion
