About this listen

Shortlisted for: Crime & Thriller of the Year – Specsavers National Book Awards 2012

Duchess of Cornwall Close: sheltered accommodation, a mix of bungalows and flats, newly built and not quite finished. Despite the bitterly cold weather, elderly residents are moving in. Then, one snowy night, an old lady is murdered - dragged from her bed and strangled with a length of flex. DCS Simon Serrailler and his team are aware of bizarre circumstances surrounding her death, but keep some details secret while they desperately search for a match. All they know is that the killer will strike again, and will once more leave the same tell-tale signature.

Then Simon's former sergeant, the ever-cheerful Nathan Coates, tracks down a name: Alan Keyes. But Alan Keyes has no birth certificate, no address, no job, no family, no passport, and no dental records. Nothing. Alan Keyes does not exist.

The seventh in the best-selling Simon Serrailler series, A Question of Identity is Susan Hill's most thrillingly imagined crime novel to date.

This was my first Susan Hill/Serrailler book. i selected on the basis of the description of the crime -- not realising how much of it is devoted to the family serial. But it was four hours before the investigation began (Serrailler was on holiday!).
The family stuff is hard to follow if you don't know the characters--so I'd suggest starting at the beginning of the series.
The crime itself was quite interesting, but given it's probably less than 50% of the book, it ends up being dealt with quite swiftly. Good though. I will read the next episode...

Not really a stand alone

A good story continuation. A bit harder to get into as a different format to the others in the series,.

Another good read
