About this listen

The Silent Quarry is the first audiobook in a series of murder mysteries featuring the perceptive but reclusive and love-shy detective DI Winter Meadows.

One morning, Gwen Thomas takes a short walk with her Siberian husky in the outskirts of the Welsh town she calls home. She is drawn to a desolate area where, some 20 years ago as a teenager, she was brutally attacked and her friend killed. Disorientated by a sudden rush of memories, she has a fall. Later, recovering in hospital, she begins to recollect the events that led up to her friend’s death.

DI Winter Meadows is encouraged to reopen what has for some time been a cold case. If Gwen can remember who attacked her, it could lead to a prosecution. But not everyone wants Gwen to recover her memory. Having got over her fall, she now faces a greater danger - from whoever else knows what actually happened.

Twists and turns

This seemed to get off to a slow start and at first I was rather bored. However I have to say that once this has grabbed my attention I found it hard to put down.

Good read

Enjoyed the whole story, kept me guessing to the end, enjoyed the narration, strangely enough I fell asleep to this but still kept track of the story!

Really enjoyable

I enjoyed the story, the characters and their motives were believable and I didn’t work out the twist at the end. The narrator was excellent as well. I’m just starting the second book in the series, which I hope will be as good.

i did enjoy this audiobook, I liked the characters. I did, however, guess the ending about half way through.
