Summary

From master storyteller Nick Louth comes the third installment in the DCI Craig Gillard series. Perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Angela Marsons and Faith Martin.

A body is found on a quiet lane in Exmoor, victim of a hit and run.

He has no ID, no wallet, no phone, and - after being dragged along the road - no recognisable face.

Meanwhile, fresh from his last case, DCI Craig Gillard is unexpectedly called away to Devon on family business. Gillard is soon embroiled when the car in question is traced to his aunt.

As he delves deeper, a dark mystery reveals itself, haunted by family secrets, with repercussions Gillard could never have imagined. The past has never been deadlier.

An enjoyable listen

As another person said I really wish Sam didn’t sound thick but other than that I enjoyed the story enough to move on to number 4

Decent listen

I found the extended family exceptionally irritating. The one irritated me so much I wanted to stop listening. However towards the end it was the second one that I really disliked and the first I started to feel sorry for . The story line was not as believable as I would have liked but it still helped to pass a few hours in a fictional world . Sam needs to get a back bone . She would be a lot more help to her husband if she just stood up to him at times or supported him when needed . She seems a wimp of a woman

Excellent book

This 3rd book expands the main character and we learn about his family and what a family!!! This is very different to the previous 2 books as it is all about Gillard and his family. I like this as now I have learned more about him I want to see how things develop from book to book. I like to know about the characters and not hurt the detective story and this series is hitting every mark. I am now straight onto the next book.

Excellent book - compulsive listening

This book was excellent, the story line was very good an absolute page turner so to speak. I read the first one and listened to the 2nd one. Can't wait to hear the next one in the series. The narrator was brilliant and really makes the storyline.

Good story

This was indeed a good plot, but did not enjoy the reader. I recommend it with reservations.
