About this listen

Meet Detective Inspector Dan Hellier, a man who needs to redeem his career and catch a killer.

Soon after DI Hellier returns home to Exeter under a cloud, the body of a talented young singer is found in the woods. When her death reveals links to the boss of a recording studio, a predatory gang and a school music teacher, Hellier knows he has his work cut out. Before more innocent people are put in danger, Hellier will need to untangle the web of lies and work out which of many suspects are guilty of murder.

If you are a fan of Joy Ellis, Faith Martin and LJ Ross, then you'll love Bernie Steadman's new West County Crime Mystery Series.

Well worth listening to

I liked it from start to finish. The story was easy to follow, intriguing and at times tense. The characters were both interesting and complex enough to hold your interest.

good story and v.good narration

I do think Dan deserves to be demoted. I think Sally would make a much better DI. however, I'm willing to see if his aptitude and ability really does improve.

Enjoyable journey with twists and turns

Very enjoyable listen with relatable characters and plots. Lots of sub plots that merge into one. An enjoyable listen.

Some bad grammar, but good plot

Not sure why it wasn’t edited or proofread properly. However, the characters and plot are decent.
