Summary

 A bullet-ridden body is unearthed from a buried WWII plane. Dr Ruth Galloway must discover who the victim was - and who put him there.

When DCI Harry Nelson calls Ruth Galloway in to investigate a body found inside a buried fighter plane, she quickly realizes that the skeleton couldn't possibly be the pilot. DNA tests identify the man as Fred Blackstock, a local aristocrat who had been reported dead at sea.

Events are further complicated by a TV company that wants to make a film about Norfolk's deserted air force bases, the so-called Ghost Fields, which have been partially converted into a pig farm run by one of the younger remaining Blackstocks.

Then human bones are found on the farm and, as the greatest storm Norfolk has seen for decades brews in the distance, another Blackstock is attacked. Can the team outrace the rising flood to find the killer?

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It's best the start at the beginning of this series, that way you really get to know the characters personal lives as well as the mystery.

Yet another great story

While no great feat of literature this book is a well read, enjoyable listen to accompany you while doing tedious chores or in this chase building flat pack stuff from ikea! I have given it four stars because. It's simple and quite straight forward really. You know what's coming, you're just not quite sure which direction will take you there.

Undemanding little listen
