Crimebusting duo DI Jackman and DS Evans are back, solving another crime that will make your skin crawl.

Police detective Carter McLean is the only survivor of a plane crash that kills his four best friends. He returns to work, but he is left full of guilt and terrible flashbacks. So for each of his four friends, he decides to complete something that they left unfinished.

Eighteen months before the crash, Suzanne Holland disappeared, leaving a room with traces of blood but no other leads. Suzanne was the wife of one of Carter’s four best friends. Adding to the pressure, the boss’ niece has a stalker. Due to the sensitivity of the Holland case, Carter is put on this investigation.

DS Marie Evans is the only person Carter can confide in. But even she begins to doubt whether he can really cope and whether he is actually losing his mind. DI Jackman and DS Evans of the Fenland police face a battle to untangle three mysteries, and can they really believe their friend and colleague Carter?

I love these books but the narrator really does make it complete. The story is well written and unpredictable. The Jackman and Evans series are wonderful!

Armitage does it again!

This is the third book that I've listened to in this series, and it did keep me engaged and interested. It wasn't as good as the second, in my opinion, though I still enjoyed it.
I'm such a huge fan of Richard Armitage! He does a wonderful job with all the accents and is a brilliant story teller; it was because I saw his name, that I downloaded the first book, and I'm really glad I did.
Jackman wasn't as prominent in this one, which may be why I didn't enjoy as much. Another character, Carter, was at the forefront, and I'm not his biggest fan. The ending seemed just, though a little sad. The main reason I knocked off a star, was because of Klink, truth be told.
I will certainly be reading the next in the series!

I liked it.

A fabulous story, and I first thought, predictable however, the way the story chopped and changed with it’s many outcomes and closures made for brilliant reading.
The only thing I do not like about this series is that they are not long enough!
The narration is excellent.

A Great Who Dunnit!
