A hit and run. A suspicious death. A vendetta.

Sam Earnshaw’s recovery from a year-long coma should be an occasion for celebration. Instead, he reveals that the hit and run incident that left him close to death was no accident. Someone deliberately pushed him into the path of a speeding vehicle.

As DCI Tom Raven leads the investigation into the attempted murder, he soon uncovers a web of dark secrets and lies. The attempt on Sam’s life is not the first time a killer has struck.

And it won’t be the last.

As the bodies mount up, Raven is forced into a race against time, whilst facing serious questions about his own life and future.

Set on the North Yorkshire coast, the Tom Raven series is perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk, Simon McCleave, and British crime fiction.

This latest Yorkshire murder story is totally spoiled by the narrator who mangles so much of the dialogue. The story is fast paced with s a surprise near the conclusion, so worthwhile to hear what happened next to Tom and his team.

Great storyline with plenty of twists and turns along the way - all spoilt by really amateur narration. All women's voices were breathy and husky and every sentence ended with an upward inflection making the whole thing difficult to follow, so much so that I swapped to reading this one as opposed to listening and enjoyed it so much more. This narrator needs to listen to some other great narrators, like Angus King for example, and learn his craft a lot better or just narrate children's books as his style would fit this genre better.

Great Story - Terrible Narration

The narrator has a really limp voice, monotonal, high pitched and very whiny. It really spoils the story.

annoying voice of the narrator

I am hooked into the Tom Raven saga and found the twists in the plot really imaginative but the poor narration almost ruined it.
