I listened to the first book, and in hopes of improved narration, listened to the second. But the narrator is so monotone and stop start that it makes it very difficult to hold concentration. I’ve had to go back and relisten so chapters so many times because it’s so easy to zone out and makes it hard to keep a track of the details. Which is a shame because the story itself is excellent.

Great story, terrible narrator.

A very interesting series and a genre that I love to listen to and read. Great characters, storylines and how they interact with following leads on finding those who committed crimes. Narrator is easily understood and listening to whose also ideal listening to while trying to sleep

Great

2nd book as good as first. Great if you like a good twisty detective story without too much horror and grisly detail but good character development. I'll be straight into the next. Think they may have been around a while but new to me.

Shaping up to be a great series

I liked a flawed, bad tempered, petulant policeman for a change. A few good jokes too. Plot was a bit far fetched but I’ll read the next.

Good listen.
