About this listen
1930. The tranquillity of suburban Craynebrook is disturbed when a lifeless and nameless body is found dumped on the local common.
Enter newly promoted Detective Inspector Matthew Stannard, a policeman with a reputation that precedes him and which threatens to drag him down.
As Matthew embarks on his investigation, an another, more sinister plot demands his attention. One by one, members of an esteemed social club are meeting an untimely demise, leaving their community in a state of panic that they might be next. With the stakes higher than ever before, Matthew is under immense pressure from above to solve the case before the killer strikes again.
As the bodies pile up, Matthew's career and reputation hang in the balance. Will he be able to catch the killer and restore his standing in the force or will this case be his downfall?
Book 1 in the DI Matthew Stannard British detective fiction series.

Absolutely brilliant!
This is the best murder mystery I've listened to /read in a long while. The characters are great, the plot is very complex with lots of twists and turns. There are more red herrings and corpses to shake a stick at. A story equal to those of Horowitz. Narration was excellent with a wide range of accents. First class.

Murder most foul.
This is the first CK Harewood I've had the pleasure of listening to and it won't be the last. Matthew Stannard, a newly promoted D.I is moved to a small area where he has to make his own mark. The resident police don't like him from the start as he is an action man and they just want an easy life. The story is well written with more grit than most of the police procedurals set in that era and it is well paced with unexpected twists and turns. Mike Langan's narration is spot on and really helps make the book flow. Highly Recommended. I am already at 90 percent in the second of the series, just had to keep up with the D.I.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and voluntarily leave this honest review.

Please Audible let's have more!
Great book, a bit more gritty than some of the 1920s detective books. Hope there are more to come.
