Summary
A propulsive new thriller set in London featuring Detective Harbinder Kaur from the author of the No 1 bestselling Dr Ruth Galloway Mysteries. A murderer hides in plain sight—in the police.
DS Caitlin Fitzgerald has a secret—but it's one she's deleted from her memory. In the 1990s when she was at school, she and her friends killed a fellow pupil. Thirty years later, Caitlin is happily married and loves her job as a police officer.
One day her husband persuades her to go to a school reunion and another ex-pupil, Garfield Rice, is found dead, supposedly from a drug overdose. As Garfield was an eminent Labour MP and the investigation is high profile, it's headed by Caitlin's new boss, DI Harbinder Kaur. The trouble is, Caitlin can't shake the feeling that one of her old friends has killed again.
Is Caitlin right, or was Garfield murdered by one of his political cronies? It's in Caitlin's interest to skew the investigation so that it looks like the latter and she seems to be succeeding.
Until someone else is killed....

A satisfying read with just a few plot niggles
I really enjoyed how the story unfolded from the perspectives of several complex characters with more than one narrator. Overall it was well delivered and engaging however there are a couple of jarring things..why did a character inexplicably have a northern Irish accent when he was a contemporary of the other pupils and are we to believe a bullet would escape detection at the inevitable post mortem of the first murder victim?

Different
I enjoyed it for the most part.
The accents are really odd though.
And, despite Audible repeatedly talking about Caitlyn, she's called Cassie!
It didn't have the warmth of Postscript..I can't put my finger on why it didn't land quite as well for me. Maybe the wandering accents!

Good Story, Confusing Narration
Story was brilliant & entertaining however having the three separate narrators made is confusing to follow at times e.g. the actor portraying Harbinder & the actor portraying Cassie both had to voice their male colleague from the North East but both actors had wildly different voices for him which was distracting & confusing, particularly in the early chapters of the story

Terrible Danish accent
Story is good, but would the narrator please either learn the Danish accent or not use an accent at all, considering the amount of lines Mette has

Confusing at times
I found all the different voices with no introduction as to who they were confusing, particularly the female ones.

Couldn’t stop listening
Well, this was issued yesterday and I am sad it’s over! Harbinger in new surroundings with a large cast of characters enthralls. The different voices lend authenticity to the three storytellers and Elly has done it again! Thank you audible.

Disappointing, but still I had to finish it!
Disappointing, but still I had to finish it! Teenage romances, evolve into improbable coincidence as interwoven adult lives are created and woven into a thin crime novel. Won’t say anymore in case I spoil very predictable endings.

Unusual story
This was a good story, quite engaging but I found the Irish accent of the Danish character very irritating. A Danish accent is very easy to find and ought to be within the ability of any actor.
