Summary

A career man, Edwin Murphy has always put more effort into his work than his family. Everything changes for Edwin when his wife files for divorce. On the brink of losing his home, his job and his little girl, Edwin orchestrates an intricate plan to eliminate his wife and regain his former lifestyle. The police are baffled when bodies begin to appear all over London with no apparent connection between them. Inspector David Morton must think outside the box as he investigates the deadly web of deceit behind the murders.

The story in this book is ok. I listened to the end and enjoyed most of the tale and outcome.

However, I have absolutely not idea what police service or criminal justice system this book is meant to be about. It’s definitely not about how the police works in the uk and that’s a big gap in a series allegedly about uk policing.

A few examples, deputies are referred to frequently which don’t exist in uk policing, jurisdiction is often talked about which isn’t an issue in the UK it’s just fleeing lawful custody, the offences were incorrect, the involvement of a prosecutor from the CPS is all wrong and sounds as though it’s been written from a US perspective? Lastly, and my fav as a UK cop, the idea that detectives can pick up prints from a scene and that they carry a firearm is pretty bonkers.

It’s fine as a story but I wouldn’t read the rest of the series because the huge issues with it being a policing series are just too annoying!

Good story terrible police procedure

The idea of finding a gun for hire on the darkweb is fair enough but to arranging to have a trail of people killed and to get away with it, as the perpetrator almost did is a bit hard to believe. if you let the premise stand and accept that it could work, you'll find this story quite clever, but total anominity, you will always find that someone will blackmail you. There is no honour among fhieves (or murderers).
Some interesting characters and I did want to return to it, to finish it.
Although, did I want to finish it because I'm really looking forward to my next listen? That's probably true...I suppose!

Surelybits not that easy

Well read and thoroughly enjoyable. Not a murder mystery as you know who did it all along but that kind of story.

A very entertaining tale
