Very good once again

I am loving this series and it’s great to have a series well written and not the same sort of story as you get in a lot of crime books .
Lovely narration and well written

Best tale yet of Stone and Oliver

All characters developing well, treasure hunts now possible to almost findable crime scenes all over the North East. Let’s hope the film stars to come can do the accents as well as the Audible narrator...

Mari Hannah does it again !

yet another twister of a tale. Have to say Coleen Prendergast is such a great narrator ,I've started looking for the books she narrates. I've fallen for the growing relationship between Frankie and Dave and love the intermingled family stories ad well as the fast moving plots. More please !

Stilted

Everything about this book feels stilted. The fact that the story is told from no-one’s and everyone’s perspective is weird. The characters don come to life.
I could not finish this one

Fairly tedious

A very slow and fairly tedious listen. Formulaic plot. Upside was it helped me sleep. But when awake I was just waiting for something interesting to happen. Sorry, but not worth a listen.
