About this listen

The sudden appearance of a sinister black hole in the English countryside leads to a baffling murder investigation for Ishmael Jones.

"The past is England's dreaming, and not all of it sleeps soundly...."

Ishmael Jones and his partner Penny have been despatched to assist a group of scientists who are investigating a mysterious black hole which has appeared on a Somerset hillside. Could it really be a doorway to another dimension, an opening into another world?

When one of the scientists disappears into the hole - with fatal consequences - Ishmael must prove whether it was an accident - or murder. But with no clues, no witnesses, and no apparent motive, he has little to go on. Is there an alien predator at large, or is an all-too-human killer responsible? Only one thing is certain: if Ishmael does not uncover the truth in time, more deaths will follow.

So much better than the last novel. The formula of MC arriving, 1 person dies, he tells them to stay together, they don’t for absurdly stupid reasons, he loses everyone but the killer and maybe 1 or 2 others.

But now, finalllllly we learn more about the MC and his history. May as well have cut out the two books before this, as this novel and the one after are where things finally get going.

Much more creative and enjoyable. Great British humour.

G Jackson is the most creative yet soothing narrator to listen to.

That’s more like it!
