About this listen

From master storyteller Nick Louth comes the third installment in the DCI Craig Gillard series. Perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Angela Marsons and Faith Martin.

A body is found on a quiet lane in Exmoor, victim of a hit and run.

He has no ID, no wallet, no phone, and - after being dragged along the road - no recognisable face.

Meanwhile, fresh from his last case, DCI Craig Gillard is unexpectedly called away to Devon on family business. Gillard is soon embroiled when the car in question is traced to his aunt.

As he delves deeper, a dark mystery reveals itself, haunted by family secrets, with repercussions Gillard could never have imagined. The past has never been deadlier.

The story out line was good but there are a number of plot holes and actions by lead characters who are police do not make sense. The story was also drawn out much longer than needed, Why did Gillard investigate his Aunts claims?

This is very unlike the first two books and I honesty reckon it is worth skipping this book if you plan on following the series.

Take it or leave it it

I enjoyed the first two books in this series but this one was awful. All the characters proved unlikeable and even the central characters lost their allure. Dragged on at the end.

Not much to enjoy here

First novel in this series, I thought pushing the boundaries on reality, but semi enjoyed. Second, really enjoyed. This novel is a stinker. Overly convoluted in every aspect. Started off well. then you just don't care. Will try again with next novel
