Story
“There’s no place like home.” That’s what I tell myself as I pull another flawless meal from the oven. This perfect house on a quiet street was supposed to be my sanctuary, a place to recover. But everything changed the moment I saw that woman in the charity shop. She triggered something dark, buried deep within my memory....
Publisher's Summary
No Simple Death is a murder mystery with a touch of romance, set in the Dublin suburbs. It will appeal to fans of authors such as Peter James, LJ Ross and Ruth Rendall.
When Detective Mike West is called to investigate a murder in a Dublin graveyard, suspicion immediately falls on a local woman, Edel Johnson, whose husband disappeared some months before. But then she disappears. Evidence leads West to a small village in Cornwall, but when he arrives, he finds Edel has got there before him. Her explanation seems to make sense, but as West begins to think his suspicions of her are unfounded, she disappears again.
Is she guilty? West, fighting an unsuitable attraction, doesn't want to believe it. But the case against her is growing. Back in Dublin, his team uncover evidence of blackmail and illegal drugs involving Edel’s husband. When another man is murdered, she, once again, comes under suspicion.

Loved this.
A good murder mystery without too much stomach churning forensic detail or coarse swearing, but enough twists in the plot to engage interest until the final words. Narrated empathetically.

Great story,
Although a little hard to get into; once the reader got into the story, I couldn't put it down. Found in the plus section, I'm now off to buy book 2!

Enjoyable in spite of stupid characters
This is a great series to find in the free Plus catalogue. i enjoyed the story and the reader (a bit of a monotone with a few mispronunciations but nice accent).
There are a few glaring cliches -- "classically beautiful" gullible woman whose head is turned by men in "sharp suits" who are in turn besotted etc etc.
Also, a few devices that tediously drag out (stupid character deciding to not share basic life threatening information with police).
i prefer a detective who is a bit more on the ball and active in solving the mystery but there is still lots of enjoy here.

Worth continuing
This was an engaging story with enough twists to keep me listening. The narration was pleasant and, for the first in the series, a nice introduction to the characters. Also great to have so many in the series free. I personally would have like a bit more suspense but it was still a good story and I’m moving onto number 2 now.
