Superb short story

Fantastically read. Absolutely loved this short story. Full of pathos throughout. Rosie Jones needs to take a lot of credit for the way she reads this. I felt engaged throughout and didn’t want to stop listening. Brilliant but need to have an idea of the other stories.

The surprise ending

Although a short story, it's a great introduction to the Helen Grace books, written by
M J Arlidge and a very good narration!

Good to get the background of DCI Helen Grace

From reading all of the books in the series, you pretty much guess her history. However it's give a better insight to her personality.

Disappointed

I was very disappointed with this audiobook I was expecting another full novel, the same as the others and it was a very short story, a real waste of a credit with my membership, not happy or pleased.

Not good value for money

Most books in this series are around 9 hours long, but this is not much more than an hour long yet costs the same. I felt like I had to buy it before moving on to the next full length book else there might be a gap in the story

Overall it just felt like cashing in.
