About this listen

As the first anniversary of the formation of the Kings Lake murder squad approaches, there is a problem—they've run out of murders. As a result, they are given the task of reviewing unsolved cold cases. One of these comes back to life in unexpected ways as the team try to discover the identity of the young woman whose body was found in the Norfolk countryside two decades ago. And even if they can give her a name, how can they possibly find her killer after so many years?

Peter Grainger had developed some well rounded characters in this series that continues on from the DC Smith books. Some characters the same, some new, and you feel like you’d really like to get to know them. Police procedurals are my favourite genre and this author writes them so well. I’d still like to hear more about what the retired DC Smith is getting up to so hopefully he might feature in an upcoming book soon.

A great series with engaging characters

Enjoyed this book immensely. Well read and beautifully written. These books are so easy to listen to and it’s good to be able to become invested in the characters and their stories.

Good storytelling and easy listening

i am a fan of this series -- mainly for the wonderful DCI Cara Freeman (the books seem to orient around Sgt Waters but i find him a bit bland by comparison). The Kings Lake murder unit are an interesting team but they're running out of murders. Book 4 has them digging up a body to solve a cold case. The mystery itself is a bit of non event. i kept waiting for it to get going but the whole thing was a bit plodding with zero twists and turns. You'd have to say this is character-led rather than plot led but i feel like they need a more taxing case or the unit will be shut down for sure!

Pleasurable--but nothing much happens

I miss DC but still thoroughly enjoyed another investigation with the new Murder Squad. These books are a level above any other crime series I’ve found. Peter Grainger please keep writing about DC and the team at Kings Lake Central!

Another fabulous book from PG

Started out well but lost steam. Clever dialogue is fine, and it was good to begin with, but can you cook up some action along the way. Getting a little sick of these "when a body is found" books in the suspense section."
Suspense does lurk in plenty of other locations far more interesting than what was produced here.

Lost interest

Ive enjoyed the Kings Lake series from the beginning however this one didnt catch my attention...I had to keep going back to re-listen as my mind had wandered off. Im hoping DC Smith will be the subject of another book shortly, working for the Detective Company. That should liven things back up!

Love the series but this one...
