Story
DCI Kenny Murrain sees, hears and feels things that others do not. It’s a gift but also a curse. When he wakes to the phantom sound of screaming, he knows a murder has been committed, but not where or why. Then a woman’s body is found in a Stockport hotel room. It’s a murder that seems both frenzied and carefully planned, the scene expertly cleansed of any evidence.

Story
When two bodies are found sprawled at the bottom of the Devil's Kitchen in the mountains of Snowdonia, it looks like a murder-suicide. But something doesn't feel right to Detective Inspector Ian Drake, and his gut instinct has never let him down before. Drake suspects at least one of the deaths could be suspicious, but who would kill such an ordinary couple, and why? This might be Drake's first murder inquiry, but his years as a detective have taught him one thing - every murder has a motive, and every killer leaves a trace.
Publisher's Summary
A missing child's body is found on the edge of the Peak District. As DCI Kenny Murrain and his team investigate, more attempted child abductions are reported. Murrain's instincts tell him this is a community with secrets, and those secrets have their roots deep in the past.
Unexpected connections surface as he uncovers mysteries long buried. A motorcycle accident in the nearby hills. The unexplained death of a local prison governor. And a high-profile child killing two decades before. Then another child goes missing, and Murrain and his team must race to identify the killer before the past catches up with them and it's too late....

"A talent to be reckoned with...A strong story line, muscular prose and a real sense of pace...a police procedural for a new age.” (Daily Mail)

Sleepless
Enjoyed the 2 nd book by this author very much. Narration easy to listen to and even though characterisations are not as depicted as colourfully compared to other narrators the book is still enjoyable , easy to listen to and be kept awake by. 😳

Suggestion: Change app playback speed to 1.2x
I'm about to start Book 3, which means they have staying power - if patchy. I'll write a more detailed review then.
I've seen people criticize the narrator for reading in a monotone, not much character, etc.
That did not bother me - I'd rather have a monotonic narrator than one over the top with accents, or who gets accents wrong, or tries to do male/female voices, and generally messes up.
That type of narration gets in the way too much, and I drop those books, even when have paid for them. (Love the Plus catalogue!)
However - I did find Wagland's pace much too slow (and that's bad production, not bad narration).
And then, about 20 minutes into Book 1, I remembered that the Audible app has a wonderful speed control.
So I changed the speed to 1.2 X normal speed.
Perfect.
You cannot go much beyond that because speed controls are not "intelligent". They will shorten the gaps between sentences too, so above 1.2 it gets just too rapid-paced for comfort.
1.2 times normal speed allowed me to enjoy the book.
I just wish Wagland's elocution teacher had got him out of the unfortunate habit of adding an R sound where it should not be: like "rohr" for "raw". Sigh.

Worth a listen
I am enjoying the story lines although occasional patches of long explanations. It is sometimes hard to separate characters conversations as narrator does not provide much vocal characterisation

Good story and easy to listen to. The pace drops off a bit in the middle but the outcome is ultimately satisfying. Good enough to give book 3 in the series a try.
