About this listen

A killer is sending a message. But who is it for?

DI Annie Delamere and her colleague DS Zoe Everett are off duty and enjoying a walk on the Peak District’s vast moorlands when they stumble across a mutilated corpse. The victim is unclothed and his tattoos indicate an affinity with the occult.

While Annie is put in charge of the case her long-term partner, MP Sheena Pearson, is confronted by a group of far right extremists. Rather than back down Sheena chooses to stand her ground–and almost pays for it with her life.

As more bodies are found, Annie is under pressure to prove her worth. But with one eye on her personal affairs can she catch a murderer and still keep her loved ones safe? And are the killings the work of a deranged mind–or a cover for something even more chilling?

I enjoyed the whole set of DI Murrain books, followed by the full series of DI McKay stories too. Having finished, and enjoyed, all that was available in both of those series, I felt it worthwhile trying this as the beginning of another series from Alex Walters.

I just couldn’t get on with this at all, I won’t be following on with any of the others. The plot was quite dreary until the conclusion, and even that was nothing special, serving only to wrap up what had gone on in the previous nine hours. Even the narrator gave the impression that she was bored by the story line.

That’s a shame, but there it is……

Listened to the end, but not for me.
