About this listen

The second novel in the Lindsay Gordon series.

A protest group hits the headlines when unrest at a women’s peace camp explodes into murder. Already on the scene, journalist Lindsay Gordon desperately tries to strike a balance between personal and professional responsibilities. As she peels back the layers of deception surrounding the protest and its opponents, she finds that no one - ratepayer or reporter, policeman or peace woman - seems wholly above suspicion. Then Lindsay uncovers a truth that even she can scarcely believe.

Thank you Val and Caroline for another wonderful journey into the somehow familiar pre internet, cloud, smart phone, instant communication world. Already listening to book 3!

Breathless and addictive!

Val McDermod is undeniably the queen of crime fiction, her Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series were spectacular, an all time favourite without parallel but there we are talking the mystery, the psychological drama and suspense with the law enforcement and home office resources. To cut to the point, I'm struggling to get the point and role of a journalist in solving murders. It should be left to the professionals. Good enough story though and I'm still a Val McDermid fan.

A good story
