Summary

The start of a crime thriller series from Wes Markin, bestselling author of the DCI Yorke series.

Still grieving from the tragic death of her colleague, DCI Emma Gardner continues to blame herself and is struggling to focus. So, when she is seconded to the wilds of Yorkshire, Emma hopes she’ll be able to get her mind back on the job, doing what she does best - putting killers behind bars.

But when she is immediately thrown into another violent murder, Emma has no time to rest. Desperate to get answers and find the killer, Emma needs all the help she can. But her new partner, DI Paul Riddick, has demons and issues of his own.

And when this new murder reveals links to an old case Riddick was involved with, Emma fears that history might be about to repeat itself…

Easy listen police drama

Easy listen police drama set in North Yorkshire. Predictable in places but moved at a good pace and I enjoyed listening to this while crafting. Good narration too, with nice variation between characters to make it easy to follow. Overall a good listen.

Very good story made better by the narrator

I think if I'd just read the book, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as I did. Aubrey Parsons did a superb job of the narration, juggling all the Yorkshire characters very well to give them individual voices, whilst voicing the female Wiltshire character very convincingly. The story itself was reasonable, a few twists and turns that were not too far-fetched. If you like police thrillers, you'll not be disappointed with this one. I shall listen to the next in The Yorkshire Murders series.

Ok but not very gripping

The narrators female voice was annoying and sometimes the characters merged which made it hard to follow at times
