Publisher's Summary

Criminologist Martin Knight lives a gilded life and is a thorn in the side of the police. But then his wife, Liz, goes missing. There is no good explanation and no sign of Martin.... To make things worse, Liz is the ex-girlfriend of DCI Craig Gillard, who is drawn into the investigation. 

Is it just a missing person or something worse? And what relevance do the events around the shocking Girl F case, so taken up by Knight, have to do with the present? The truth is darker than you could ever have imagined.

Terrific read

I so like nick Louths writing. This one was great if a bit long winded could have been cut a bit.

Not too bad at all.

I stumbled across this series and enjoyed this first instalment. Looking forward to more.The narrator was quite good. Is it the best of the best audible has to offer? Nope. Is there worse available? Yep, definitely yep. If you're a fan of the British murder mystery genre, then this may be just what you're looking for.

Excellent read

Came across this book unexpectedly and am delighted I did so. Thoroughly enjoyed a very unusual and twisted story

Book 1 The Body in the Marsh

Cleverly twisted/intertwined journeys but the marathons hit the 'finish this bit now' rather abruptly almost as if the author were writing an examination paper and realising that only five minutes remain...

Fairly good with some weaknesses

It was fairly long - so there’s a fair amount of “nothing really happens”.
Some bits of humour here and there which I think is essential in a crime thriller so it’s not all “doom and gloom”.
I took a star off purely for the unbelievably stupid actions of one character who did the equivalent of going into the basement alone to see where the spooky noise was coming from.
I’m not sure how I feel about the main character. Basically he spent the entire book pining for a girlfriend he had 30 years ago for six weeks.
I guessed who the guilty party was fairly early on but found the victim to be completely unlikeable so I didn’t care that they had died.
The narration was excellent - he did a good job with all the various accents.
I’ve bought the second book - I just hope the main
character grows on me a bit more.
