Summary
 Who killed Amy Hill? Amy Hill, a nineteen-year-old student, is strangled and her body dumped on open ground in the city. New police partners, D.I. Jim Neal and D.S. Ava Merry are called in to investigate this brutal crime. The last person to see Amy alive was Simon, the son of a family friend, but before he can be properly questioned he disappears. Detectives Neal and Merry are led on a trail of shocking family secrets and crimes. Can this duo track down the murderer before anyone else dies? Stopping this tragic cycle of violence will put D.S. Merry’s life at risk in a thrilling and heart-stopping finale.©2015 Janice Frost (P)2018 W.F.

The plot itself was ok. But I think the character DS Ava Merry came across less than convincing. Will I listen to another book, I don’t think so

I cannot believe that the plot holes, florid writing full of meanderings off subject, and really questionable police procedurals got through a competent editor. Thank goodness it was in the Plus catalogue
The reader managed extremely well with the accents.

Very amateurish

I usually love police procedurals but i just couldn't get past chapter 10, thank goodness it was free.

I couldn't finish it

So slow, literally nothing exciting happened until last few chapters! It was painfully slow and long winded
