Summary
Ex-superintendent Fabia Havard is struggling with civilian life when a local girl is found dead.
Out walking near the rain-swelled river running past her small Welsh town, she comes across the body of Amber Morgan. Fabia’s police training tells her instantly that the death is the result of foul play. But no longer in the force, all she can do is call it in. Yet she has mixed feelings when she discovers it is her former colleague, Matt Lambert, newly promoted to chief inspector, who will head the investigation into the girl’s death.
Despite this, having known the victim, and bored with her new job as an illustrator, Fabia can’t help probing into the murder. However, her inquiries further upset the quiet of the town. Not least her neighbour, busybody Rhona Griffiths, who was seen arguing with the victim the day before her death.
Fabia’s activity bothers Matt Lambert, but time and time again Fabia’s instincts are proved right. He can’t help leaning on her in order to progress the investigation, but that will also involve confronting why she left the force years ago. Can they put their differences aside and work together to bring the perpetrator to justice despite Fabia’s painful past being brought up again? Or will Fabia’s moonlighting get her into further danger?
Murder in the Valleys is set in the fictional town of Pontygwyn in the Welsh valleys under the shadow of the Black Mountains. It will appeal to listeners who like traditional 'whodunnits', those who like the landscape, atmosphere and people of South Wales, and everyone who likes a good listen that keeps you hanging on.

Enjoyable police procedural
I enjoyed this book - I liked the main characters and found the plot interesting.
I thought the characters reflected the area it is set well and would very much like to listen to more about Fabia and Matt.
Narrated very well - easy to listen to and great feeling.

I was uncertain what to expect
When I purchased this book along with 2 others I was uncertain what to expect and must admit this was the last of the three I listen to. Big Mistake, it was by far the best. I really enjoyed the book and can't wait for the next book to be released in audible.

Good story and good characters
I really enjoyed this listen. The volume on the narration was a bit too quiet, even on maximum iPad volume, but manageable. Look forward to listening to more in this series.

Quite a good tale
The story and the performance were good, except for the reader’s tendency to overlook full stops and paragraphs, making sentences and paragraphs run into each other and causing it to become a little unclear at times, about whom she was speaking. Apart from this slight irritation her characterisation was very good.

Nice easy listen
the accents were spot on and found myself trying to work out were the fictional village was as my village is the same amount of miles away from the police station in Newport.
