Summary
You can never escape the past. Especially on the moors....
After the National Crime Agency cracks a major drug gang, junior barrister Julia McGann finds herself defending the violent enforcer Terrence Bonner. This high-profile case is a coup for her, but almost immediately things start to go wrong. Intruders break into her house, and then a young girl turns up at her door with a horrifying story to tell.
Three months later, DCI Craig Gillard and his team struggle with the shocking murder of a much-respected local headmaster, found dead in his own car. The baffling crime fills the newspapers but yields few clues. As Gillard sifts the evidence, a pair of blood-spattered gloves seems important.
Why were they used for both the murder and for the burglary at Julia’s house? What secrets is the barrister hiding...and what happened on the Derbyshire Moors two decades ago that could be the key to these shocking events?
A story of deceit, vengeance and blackmail, best-selling author Nick Louth will leave you reeling in this unpredictable crime thriller.

Excitement to disbelief
Really enjoyed this, although it was split between two stories , but from the disclosure and stupidity of the leading female character I lost interest in an improbable situation. How she got to be a barrister I will never know. 😳

Great but really???
Enjoyable listen but in reality would an intelligent barrister get herself into such a mess and carry out such a crime??

a different kind of police story
very clever story that looks at things from another side. A story that in a way needed telling. very good very compelling that demands reading or listening to to the very end

Disappointed
The story is fine as a stand alone book but really disappointing as a much looked forward to next book in the series. Craig Gillard, the usual main character, hardly featured in the book at all. Instead it was told from the point of view of people involved in the crime. The odd couple of mentions of Craig felt like they were just thrown in here and there so the series name could be used. Disappointing

Enjoyed most of the others, not this one
A rather silly, unbelievable and childish plot. Not enough Gillard. Having enjoyed the previous novels, I wish I hadn’t bothered with this one

The least enjoyable of the series
I have really enjoyed all of the Nick Louth books. However this has been the least enjoyable and I struggled to keep my attention. I do recommend all of the books but don’t listen to this one first.

Well written but a ludicrous plot
A well written book. However there is so much in it that strains plausibility. Such a shame.

Different but compelling
Really enjoyed this book, not the usual Gillard storyline, but kept me guessing until almost the end as to the outcome. Msrston York is the consummate narrator.
To the gainsayers, this book shows the versatility of Nick Louth.

Okay but not as good as others in the series
This book and the previous one, in the series, seem to have taken a different turn with as much time spent on the victims/suspects, etc as with the detectives and this is reflected in the reviews.
The story itself is highly implausible and as a previous reviewer has said, it's hard to believe the barrister would make such bad choices. Nonetheless, it's not bad & is an easy enough listen and I quite like the new balance of more written from characters outside the police. I do hope the next installment is more gripping though.

Unfinished
Was really enjoying this, but it just stopped. I wonder if the author just got bored of writing. Disappointed.
