Summary

Seven drownings. Three months. Who is to blame?

Lauren is fed up with covering local small-town news in Northern England. The bride-to-be and mother-of-one dreams of recognition and accolades as a national journalist. Yet, the dark and disturbing reporting opportunity that lands on her doorstep is one she would never have invited. When it is thrust on her, she is duty bound, both professionally and personally to investigate.

Lauren is the voice for the women whose lives have been cut short in the river Alder. She will not stop until she discovers the link that binds the deaths together and gets justice for them. But she is a lone voice, overpowered by the police and other officials. Lauren has to make herself heard, even when this compromises her own safety.

Her police sergeant fiancé begs her to step away and leave it to the police. Seven drownings, she continues to argue, in three months, warrants blame. How can the deaths of these innocent women be deemed accidental?

Described as a whodunnit novel with a twist in the tale, don't miss this Yorkshire crime story.

This is the first time I have listened to one of Maria Franklands books and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was narrated by Naomi Rose Mark and she did a really good job. Her accents were authentic without being over the top and it was easy to differentiate between the various characters.

The book itself was another winner for Maria. Luckily I had two reasonably lengthy train rides to endure so was really able to settle down and watch the world go by whilst the story line became more and more gripping.

I foolishly thought I had it all worked out but I was only partly correct. How could I not have factored in the Maria twist. The first thing I did upon finishing this book was order the next one in the series.

Enjoyable listening

Really enjoyed kind of suspected the killer but didn't take away from the book at all for me. Really felt for Mark and liked that the story was told through the eyes of more then one character.

The story is interesting and the writing is very good and pleasant to read. My problem with the story was actually the main character, I did not like her. Like, at all. She was pushy, reckless, sometimes TSTL and I never quite grasp why she thought it was murder in the first place, seems kind of forced. Anyways, it's rare for me to like any reporter character because they all seem so entitled and reckless, here it was no different.

I looove the narration, the best part of the audiobook for me was hearing Naomi Rose-Mock bring life to the characters.

I was given this review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Ok listen

Really enjoyed listening to this book, some nice twists and turns in the story that leaves you guessing. Wasn't sure about the ending as it left me feeling the story was unfinished but on reflection I think it was a good plot twist. It was beautifully Narrated by Naomi Rose-Mock and she kept me engaged throughout .

engaging to the end.

The book itself is good (not brilliant, but okay). The biggest and most glaring issue is the utterly terrible narration.

The book is set in a fictional York. In Yorkshire. In the UK.

The narrator sounds like someone from New Jersey, USA, trying to put on a Bath, Somerset, accent.

The word "Mobile" has an "I" in it, although you wouldn't know it from listening to this Audiobook.

And if you're wanting to determine who is speaking. The narrator gives no clues from her voice changes.

Didsapointing

Good story, TERRIBLE narration
