Soon after DI Hellier returns home to Exeter under a cloud, the body of a talented young singer is found in the woods. When her death reveals links to the boss of a recording studio, a predatory gang and a school music teacher, Hellier knows he has his work cut out. Before more innocent people are put in danger, Hellier will need to untangle the web of lies and work out which of many suspects are guilty of murder.

Clever story

I liked the characters and it was a nice complicated plot. I really enjoyed the twists and turns, and the main character is likeable. The narrator is excellent, you always know who’s talking. Even better it’s part of Plus so didn’t have to use precious credits. Highly recommend

Interesting story

I really liked this story it worked on so many levels it took me a while to get into the narration it worked towards the end. Yes I will go straight onto the next book.
I think this is the joys of the audible plus you get to try books out, I am glad I didnt buy it but I am glad I listened to it if that makes sense.
