About this listen

When everyone is sleeping, he comes into their houses.

He takes one thing. A photo of their child.

A sinister thief on a power trip or something even darker and more sinister?

Detectives Jackman and Evans find themselves on the hunt for a highly unusual burglar who seemingly only steals photographs. But then, late one night, an elderly woman falls to her death after seeing someone in her home.

Did she really fall, or was she murdered?

And just how many mysterious intruders are there on the Fens?

With the body count rising, Jackman and Evans have their work cut out for them to track down the night thief - before it’s too late.

Interesting motives and intertwining of cases. Not the normal murder mystery story and pleasant to listen to.

Not the norm

Lots of twists and turns and suitably nasty goings-on in a sleepy English village make for an enjoyable page-turning crime yarn. With added cups of tea.

Solid and satisfying crime thriller

The narrator as usual delivered a great performance; how does he manage to remember the different voices I've often wondered! Good to hear all the old names of the team, and reminding myself of most of their backstories...as usual an intriguing story, lots of strange people in the Fens it seems :) the ending left a question, that could mean another book...or not? 😅🤔😊

At last! Marie and Jackman are back!
