Summary
A murdered crime writer. An idyllic Yorkshire town. Can DCI Oldroyd separate fact from fiction?
A famous writer is found murdered at the Victorian baths in the Yorkshire town of Harrogate. In a crime worthy of one of his novels, Damian Penrose, who was appearing at the town’s crime writing festival, has been ruthlessly strangled. But with no trace of the murderer and no apparent means of escape, how did the killer simply vanish from the scene of the crime?
There’s only one mind capable of unlocking this mystery: DCI Jim Oldroyd. But as he and his team quickly discover, while Penrose was popular with the reading public, he had made plenty of enemies. Feuds over money, accusations of plagiarism, a string of affairs.... His route to the top left a trail of embittered rivals - and suspects. But which of them was willing to commit murder?
When Penrose’s shocking death proves to be just the first of many, it becomes clear to Oldroyd that he is dealing with a calculating criminal hell-bent on revenge. He must find and bring them to justice. Before the truth becomes more chilling than fiction....

Reasonable
Enjoyed the plot and the comeuppance of the awful policeman. Bit disconcerting that several characters sounded exactly the same

interesting but not enthralling
interesting storyline with several twists but never really grabbed the unwavering attention and was easy to put down after a short listen.

Like a panto
I tried this series but will not go on after this book. The plot is okay, but has a lot of holes, and most characters are quite flat.
Worst part is the reader, though, he makes everyone sound as if they are performing on stage in a panto.

Oldroyd excels
Set in gentile Harrogate this is a tale of corruption, abuse of power and privilege, and ultimately a tragic story.

Tedious
It took me a while to confirm which century the story was set. The narrator was wrong for this. I had to replay a lot as my concentration was poor. I gave up in the end!
