About this listen

Broadland is the first in a chilling series of serial killer books which will rapidly convert followers of Faith Martin, Joy Ellis and Damien Boyd into David Blake devotees.

When a girl’s body is found strangled, raped, and horrifically mutilated by a boat’s propeller, deep in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, newly arrived Detective Inspector John Tanner is asked to assist with the investigation.

At first, all the evidence points to a man who had a multi-million-pound reason to kill her. But when an alibi is produced from an unexpected source, and another body appears at the base of a slipway, Tanner finds himself turning to local girl Detective Constable Jenny Evans for help.

As a more romantic relationship develops between them, they find themselves facing a race against time to identify a lethal adversary, one with a lust for blood and a mind set on revenge.

A good quick read/listen but surprised me that it was written in 2019 as the potential relationship just felt a bit tone deaf. Very much a bloke's eye view but didn't mind the story

old school

Some unexpected twists & turns from a couple of detectives with wry senses of humour. Most enjoyable.

A great story to listen to

Annoyingly this was not all it was cracked up to be. The narration was good. The story weak and unbelievable at times.The police duo had feelings for each other right from the start. No development of that relationship. A blustering boss, a resentful colleague and idiotic policing.

Weak plot.

Boring, obvious plot, cliché and stereotypes. I was waiting for some twist, any twist... I do not recommend this book.

loved the book

This was a good, solid mystery with some tragic twists and turns as people assumed guilt where it did not lie. It was a shame that the author felt the need to shove in some sexual tension within about two minutes of the new detective joining the local force, taking an immediate interest in his much younger junior officer. It just wasn’t needed - added nothing and made him seem a bit creepy. So much was crammed into the last couple of chapters that the end result was a book which felt unbalanced. The narration was spot on for the book. The narrator sounded like I imagined the protagonist would sound.

Great story, odd pace
