Summary
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
In a small town full of secrets, everyone’s a suspect.
When a body is discovered, bled dry on a beach, the sleepy seaside town of Weston-super-Mare wakes up to a nightmare. For Detective Inspector Louise Blackwell, recently transferred to the town she last saw as a child, it’s her first case on the job.
The victim - Veronica Lloyd, an elderly volunteer at a local church - has puncture wounds to her hands. When a priest is found killed in a nearby church in a similarly grisly condition, it becomes clear that Blackwell is dealing with a righteous and bloody murderer. But the victims aren’t random. The killer has a vendetta and is hell-bent on exacting twisted revenge for a dark secret dating back years - and there are more murders planned.
As the body count rises, Blackwell faces a race against time to solve the mystery of the murderer’s identity and put an end to the carnage. She thought she knew Weston, but the town holds more secrets than she’d ever have imagined. Who can she trust and who knows more than they are letting on?
She must discover the crimes that unite the victims - before it’s too late.

Enjoyable
I enjoyed the story but the narrator grated on me a bit with her accents, which ruined it for me

*Slow Paced Drama*
This is the first book in the DI Louise Blackwell series.
This feels like how I would imagine it to be in a police station. Louise was on her way to becoming a DCI in the MIT. Her partner at the time whilst on a case together made a call that caused Louise to shoot someone. This case went against her because there were two versions of the story and it meant she was sent to a force far quieter force and losing the promotion.
The pace of the book is much slower than some of the crime books I have read but I thinks it’s deliberate to match the slow paced force she ends up in with mainly minor offences, until a murder occurs….
This case sparks Louise’s interest and as the case becomes interesting her ex partner now a DCI in her old force wants to take it over and it means Louise could possibly lose the case.
Will Louise keep the case? As more bodies appear will the killer be caught before the last kill that the killer thinks will mean atonement for what happened with his father which I won’t reveal…..

Drawn by the location
I enjoyed this. Good but not brilliant but made great for me by all its references to Weston Super Mare and all surrounding areas when I grew up for a while.

Awful narration!!
It’s an ok read, and as a kindle unlimited didn’t cost to read. But it’s not a series of books I’d read the whole series of if I had to pay individually.
But I think this is one of the worse narrators I’ve ever listened too!! As I have audio books I can listen to books on kindle that have narration. This narrator is just awful at accents and different voices. Not sure how she got the job to be honest. My 10yr old nephew could have done better. All voices are the same so it’s difficult to keep track of the characters! Absolutely awful narration, that really put me off the actual storyline which wasn’t to bad!!

Weston-super-mare will never be the same for me!
A fast paced collection of murders with a persistent female CCI! I must listen to the next book straight away as I want to hear more of her adventures!

Serviceable
Nothing to stand out in this one. Neither Louise or her team inspired a great deal of empathy and I found her past problems somewhat irritating. I listened to the whole book and whilst it didn't set the world alight it was a reasonable listen. Unlikely I will go on to the rest of the series.
