Another great story
Really well narrated and another gripping story. Love Peter May books. They never disappoint. I would love to know where he gets his plot ideas from.

Tedious
I got this because it promised forensic science! Aside from a brief mention early on in the character introduction, there haven't been any forensics all, and I'm now halfway through. What I'm getting instead is a LOT of... google searches. Endless conversations about google search results while main character Enzo and his teenage student with CANTALOUPE BREASTS (and don't forget it! Though even if you do, the author will remind you time and time again) look stuff up on the internet and leap to conclusions about it. This constitutes the "investigation." It's drudgery.
And Enzo isn't remotely likeable. In one sentence he'll be telling his teenage daughter he loves her and in the next he'll be ogling his student's CANTALOUPE BREASTS. Real good behaviour from a dad there. He objectifiies women at every turn. A creep! Comes across as very arrogant, sexist and one-note.
Other reviewers have labelled this as cut rate Dan Brown, and they're absolutely right. Wish I'd read those reviews before wasting a credit.
Narrator is good.

Very French!
Thoroughly enjoyed this adventure! The plot was intriguing and the characters came to life. All credit to the author and narrator for the use of the French language, I loved it.
Peter May had become one of my favourite authors. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

So disappointing,
I so enjoyed the Lewis Trilogy, this , therefore was such a let down..far too complicated a plot and the endless unexplained French drove me nuts.

Not recommended
Peter May should keep his settings in Scotland. I have tried two of his Enzo books and found them dragged out and boring. So much of the narration in broad French, difficult to understand.
I love all his Scottish books, read them more than once.

Gripping
An extremely well- told tale that held my attention throughout. The Scottish criminologist operating in France was fascinating and the brilliant narration brought the story to life.
Highly recommended and can’t wait to hear the next Enzo adventure.

It is a very entertaining story. I just love the way Peter May writes his story and the way Peter Forbes reads it. Although I found the motive was a bit "forced" but I still liked the book. Easy listen and hard to put down.

Excellent, almost extraordinary!
Came to this after listening to Night Gate, very much out of order! But wanted to understand better the characters.
Not disappointed, And French setting well done, and well narrated too by Peter Forbes.
Only quibble re the plot was the somewhat credibility-stretching leaps of faith/logic in deciphering the Dan Brown like codes that went with the various objects associated with the bodies.
However does highlight a feature of audio-books; they are very much of the moment, without the facility in an e-book or better still a hard-copy of 'thumbing' back through to refresh/revisit.
But at the end of the day, Enzo and his complicated family have gotten under my skin, and I guess that is what counts.
