I really enjoyed this story with a tangled Web of lies & deceit. Written & read well. The only thing that put me off a little was the Northern Irish accent was a bit off.

Great detective book

I liked EVERYTHING about this book.
Could not put it down. I read it in record time- 24 hours.
I don’t usually read detective stories but glad I did.
Nothing too gruesome, no swear words, no embarrassing sexual content. Characters were so believable and I could definitely keep track of the story. Just so well written and narrated. Exciting. Not knowing what’s happening next. Fast moving. Highly recommend it. !!

Enthralling!

The story is rather simplistic and the twists and turns are not much of a surprise, didn't get much in the way of suspense. An abridged version would have suited me better as there was too much description of inconsequential activities and situations.
I'm afraid the Irish accent used by the reader just grated on my nerves.
Audible attributed Suspense and Traditional Detective as the categories. I wish they would give a fuller description as this book was under categorised. Not everyone wants romance in their Traditional Detective stories.
Overall the book disappointed, I thought I'd found a detective who wasn't broken in some way, but the angst soon started.

The story was spoiled by the narrator and it has put me off reading any other books by this author. It was difficult to follow the plot and distinguish one character from another but for me the most disappointing aspect of the narration was that none of the characters in the book had a believable local accent and it sounded as if most most of them were from Birmingham or the West Midlands. I would have preferred that no attempt was made at an accent rather than getting it so badly wrong.

I think perhaps if the story had been read by a more able narrator it would have merited 4 stars but I think those people praising the book in their reviews must have been listening to a different book. The characters were neither well drawn nor believable and it was difficult to distinguish one from another. I found it difficult to engage with the plot and I came close to giving up on it.

Disappointing
