Summary
Alex Walters is the best-selling and critically acclaimed author of the DI Alec McKay series. Winterman is a gripping serial killer thriller which will appeal to fans of Stuart Macbride and Mark Edwards.
DI Ivan Winterman is a man with a troubled past. The Blitz has left his young son dead and his wife seriously injured. He has made enemies in high places, and, with his career going nowhere, he returns to his home town in East Anglia, seeking to rebuild his life in a country gripped by postwar austerity. As the snow begins to fall, a drunken ex-clergyman stumbles on the semi-mummified body of a small child concealed in a ruined cottage. Days later, a second child's body is found in a Fenland dyke. Winterman, supported by a small team of assorted misfits, finds himself uncovering a web of secrets in the small rural community. When a further murder victim is discovered, Winterman discovers that the secrets are darker and the threat far more immediate than he'd ever envisaged.

Interesting and a bit different
Enjoyed the story and the characters. Wasn’t keen on narrator as he kept pronouncing some words in a weird way, but it didn’t distract too much.

The depth of the plot and the way the story kept you interested all the way through.
The story was really good, it got me interested right from the very beginning. Towards the end when I thought I knew all the outcomes there were twists and unexpected turns. Highly recommend this and I hope I can find more books about Winterman.
The only thing I found distracting was the mispronunciation of several words by the narrator. ‘Doggedly’and ‘plaid’ out although there were several more. It seems that it hadn’t been properly edited. Apart from this the narrators read the story well and had a pleasing voice.

OK story
Bit long winded & over-egged the story…could have been completed sooner & more effectively.
Narrator needs to learn how to pronounce words… such as
Trough…troff….not Trow and
Nous.. nowse… not noo or nous in the french style … many more too… very irritating.
Fair storyline & characters… just long winded & padded out unnecessarily.

An absorbing listen
I found the narrator made quite a lot of mistakes in pronunciation and emphasis but otherwise the story was good, the atmosphere of post war Britain was well drawn and the rich descriptions of the landscape and weather were very engaging.

Narrator lets it down
The story is ok it’s a bit long winded felt like author had been given a word count so there was useless rambling that didn’t add to the story. But the story is enjoyable enough.
The narrator puts weird pauses in places it doesn’t feel they should be. Seemed to struggle with pronunciation of every day words too.

Yet another narrator who can’t read. What is going on?
Ok OK it was free but this is two in a row for me after YEARS of listening to audio books, I get 2, yes 2 irritating narrators who mangle the language which shouts so loud as to distract from the enjoyment of a good story. Doesn’t anyone “proof listen” to these broadcasts? One example, “noose” for the word “nouse” ie pron now sss wit, brain, intelligence. Extremely disappointed in Audible for allowing sub standard work under their banner. Author should demand a re record.

Historical Crime Thriller
I enjoyed the characters and redemptive storyline, especially the strong female characters, set in an unenlightentened time
