About this listen
‘DCI Matilda Darke is the perfect heroine’ Elly Griffiths
A short story and prequel featuring DCI Matilda Darke, star of Michael Wood’s darkly compelling crime series. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride, Mark Billingham and Val McDermid.
It’s Christmas in Sheffield. But not everyone is enjoying the festive season…
A man has been found brutally murdered in his own home. The victim is Iain Kilbride, a once-famous TV star who has faded into obscurity. All signs point to a break-in, but why has nothing been taken?
For DCI Matilda Darke, this is the perfect chance to prove her newly formed Murder Investigation Team are up to the task. Matilda suspects the clue to finding the killer lies in Iain’s past, but she’s about to discover how dark that past really is…

A brilliant first in the series short story. Defo listening to the rest of these.
Love this author. This was a fab first audiobook by this author in this series. Binge listened in one sitting but it was only a short story. I have listened to a couple of other audiobooks by the same author and he is in my top 10 crime dramas author. Wish I could award more than 5 stars. A real page turner so to speak.

Great start to the SERIES.
A really great start to this series, i don't usually read prequills however as it was only a couple of hours it allowed me to keep focused while working. I really like Matilda as a character and the way she cares about the victims. As this was only a couple of hours long it was hard to get a clear handle on the team as a whole however I am looking forward to reading more of the series to get more of an idea of there individual strengths and talents within the team. I can see this being another series i'll quickly become a fan of.

Great short story
Great short story with a twisty end however the actors voice is too good for someone who’s in their 30s Newly married and on a strong carrier path. It’s the voice of someone who should play a part such as “Vera”

An unusual police procedural story, but very good
I found it quite difficult to listen to initially because the storyline was unusual to say the least. However, once I got into it the story was clever and the range of characters, although unusual, were for the most part likeable and smart. Just off to buy the 2nd book 😁 Recommended for listening on a wet afternoon

nice little Story
this was a good compact short story with an ending that causes an internal 'what would I do?' debate.

Great little story to whet the appetite
A good introduction to the series. Definitely makes you want to give the full length books a try.
