A teenage girl’s body is found in the back of a car on the notorious Hobfield housing estate. No one had reported her missing, but she’s been dead for a week. Meanwhile, an old jar is brought into the station. It was found carefully wrapped in a blanket, with a child’s pink hairclip. The jar contains ashes and bone fragments. Seventeen years ago, Detective Tom Calladine had been part of a team investigating the disappearance of Jessica Wilkins. Her mother had taken her to Leesdon Park one summer afternoon. She went to get the child an ice cream, and when she returned her daughter was gone.

Story ok but narrator not so much
Although this was quite a good story leaning toward gruesome as Durant's murder mysteries tend to be, the narrator's way of reading it distracted me throughout and I've since read the others myself. He seems to add too much emphasis or inflection where it is unwarranted.

Finally on Audible
Having a friend who reads these books months before they become available I've been eagerly awaiting this new Graco series. This was a good start so can't wait to get catching up. I hope that unlike the Calladine & Bayliss series, also by Helen H Durrant which I loved, all the books become available on Audible.

Unfair on listener and story writer.
The recording volume was insufficient as the narrators voice goes from normal to indistinct.. The inflections in the narrators voice distract from story and listening becomes a chore instead of a relaxing pleasure. It is unfair on the listener and author. I have reached chapter three but only by going back and listening to chapters again. I am at present considering asking for a refund and I have yet two more books narrated by the same person.

Brilliant 5 star audio book
I have read some of Helen's books and loved them so thought I had better start at the beginning of this series.
The book is a very well written story which kept me hooked all the way through, even though I did guess who the murderer was about half way through, I just didn't know who else would die and whether they would get away with it or not.
The narration was also very good and it was easy to distinguish between characters as well as their voices being consistent all the way through

I enjoyed this book, and the narrator, once I got used to his somewhat heavy voice. The lead character sometimes comes across as rather gloomy. But then he has his reasons.

This appeare the be the first book in a Series and spends a lot of work setting up the characters to the detriment of the story. the end is also far too pat!
I will get the next book because I was happy to listen to the story. I hope it offers more depth as the basic premises is good.
