About this listen

 It's 1984. The miners' strike is dividing the country. In a struggling coal-mining town, the miners and their families are living at the edge of their resources. On the 14th of December, five miners break ranks to travel to Nottingham and work. For those who stay behind, this is an unforgivable betrayal.

Twenty-three years later, a young woman is asking the police to trace her missing father. Miner Mick Prentice vanished, never to be seen again. Soon, DI Karen Pirie and DS Phil Parharta find themselves investigating a forgotten disappearance.

Good story with challenging plot and interesting background with realistic characters. Just a bit of a sudden end even though the outcomes are inferred.

Great story, thoroughly enjoyable -- although easy to predict the outcome. The reader has a lovely voice but makes a few gaffes . Definitely the worst Italian accent in the history of audible.

Wonderful book, worst Italian accent ever!

An enjoyable listen did make me wish we could travel overseas. Another good nook in the series of DI Karen Pirie.

Interesting how all the threads tied together at the end
