About this listen

Everyone deserves a second chance – or at least that's what ex-vicar Lionel Lawrence believes when he decides to open up the old rectory to a stream of young offenders. Lionel only wants to help these poor souls, but his good deed quickly spirals into a deadly mix of blackmail and murder.

Detective Chief Inspector Barnaby is sure he knows who is behind the disappearance of Lionel's latest young charge. Will this elusive suspect prove to be the incarnation of evil itself?

Never sure what is the best order to tackle dramatisation versus reading the original book, but after already having watched just about every episode on TV - it is sometimes challenging to take on board some of the descriptions and characteristics of the characters as they have been portrayed on screen. However the filling out of plot lines and finer details of the characters in the books is excellent (and I get that you can't commit every line to a performance) Most of the differences I can cope with - but Sergeant Troy - whoa! - I just want to shout at him, and find myself wishing Barnaby would smack him down a bit more often! Narration is faultless.

Aargh Sergeant Troy!!

A bit more shocking and disturbing, especially at the end reveal, but every bit as excellent and I cannot wait for the next one to be released.
