About this listen
The one case he couldn't crack was the one that finally broke him.
Haunted by his inability to track down and save his missing wife, DCI Robert Kett leaves the Metropolitan Police behind and moves to Norwich with his three young children, hoping to heal their broken family.
But his newfound peace doesn’t last.
Two newspaper delivery girls have gone missing in the city, and the clues point to a serial kidnapper. Kett is dragged into the centre of one of the darkest cases of his career - a case that pits him head-to-head against a horrifying evil. And a case that might uncover the terrible truth of what happened to his wife.
Praise for the book:
"Terrifying and unputdownable, the first crime novel from million-selling author Alex Smith is officially 'a gripping debut'." (J.D. Kirk, author of DCI Logan crime thrillers)
About the author: Alex Smith wrote his first book when he was six. It wasn’t particularly good, but it did have some supernatural monsters in it. His latest book Paper Girls, the first DCI Robert Kett thriller, has monsters in it, too, although these monsters are very human, and all the more terrifying for it.
In between these two books, he has published 12 other novels for children and teenagers under his full name Alexander Gordon Smith, including the number one best-selling Escape from Furnace series, which is loved by millions of fans worldwide and which is soon to become a motion picture. He lives in Norwich with his wife and three young daughters.

First rate narration by Tim Bruce made it the perfect Christmas holiday read/listen and I’m seconds away from downloading the next in the series.
Well done Alex Smith!
If this doesn’t find its way to the BBC drama studios I’ll be amazed.
A great crime story as satisfying as a good strong cuppa…

Alex Smith came highly recommended by one of my (other) favourite authors, Scottish crime writer, JD Kirk. Mr Smith is now on that list.
On compassionate leave and newly arrived in Norwich with his three young daughters, Kett is asked by his former boss at ‘the Met’ to call in to see if he can help out in a case of two missing girls (no spoiler) from then on the reader is introduced to a great character and more.
Tim Bruce is an excellent narrator, with nuances in all the right places.
Twelve more to go in this series, about to start the second. Highly recommend.
Unputdownable!

Also his kids were annoying - but that might be the idea lol.
The story held my attention for most (but not quite all) of the time and the reveal was satisfactory.
The narration was well done.
I’m hoping for some development of some of the other characters in the next book because for me, the officers the MC works with are just as important.
Well worth a listen (read) and I feel that this author will continue to improve his craft as he goes.
Solid first novel in the series
