Summary

The restoration of an old costal defence tower is halted when work starts on the flooded basement, leading to the grim discovery of a human bone.

The Napoleonic-era ruin is known to the locals as "Devil’s Tower", for the many urban myths and ghost stories attributed to it. Far more terrifying is the story of the tower's actual past.

When Boyd and the team begin to investigate, they discover more than they bargained for in the dark, waterlogged void below Martello Tower No. 79.

Really enjoying this series

This is the fourth I’ve listened to in quick succession and is a strong addition to the series. Very well read.

A gripping story with sympathetic characters and excellent narration.

I loved this book, the best yet in the series, but what happened to book 4?

Genuinely creepy addition

in a series where the ongoing development of the characters sometimes takes precedence over the specific crime, this is a delightfully horrid story with some properly nasty characters and a good twist.

I love the DCI Boyd series

Lovely to experience another Boyd story via audible! My eyesight is not so good and I prefer to listen but it's been a long time since the release of book 4 and book 5. I like the characters in these books and I miss them when I have to wait! But I guess Aubrey is in great demand, he is so good! xXx

Love these gripping stories

The twists and turns in these books are amazing. you're on the edge of your seat the whole of the time. The narrator is fabulous , he just brings a character to life and you feel like you know every single one of them personally. I can't recommend this series enough. I love it
