Gripping story
I was appalled at the language. It added nothing to the story and if audio books were categorised like films I probably wouldn't have listened to it.

Outstanding tale of betrayal and murder
I'm not sure what some of the reviewers listened to but it was not the same book that I heard, this is an excellent story, sad but excellent, so many twists and turns you'll never guess the truth, it's an outstanding start to what I hope will be a long series, I love this.
Just to add a a little extra intrigue, book 2 is already out and is an absolutely fantastic listen too.

A tad farfetched
Great narration which I think saved this book from bad to ok. The characters was too unbelievable. I so wanted to love it but it actually kept getting on my nerve. Don't think I will listen to sequel

Not bad
I quite liked this one, something not quite hitting the mark for me. Not sure if I’ll listen to the next one. Very good narration.

Too much personal rubbish
I’m glad I listened to Beachy Head first, by mistake. Had I started this series with this audiobook I should not have continued. Having listened to quite a few novels in between I can’t remember how much personal stuff appears in book two but I’m sure there wasn’t all this novel’s dreary backstory about Barnes and his wretched wife wanting to breed. Having read the author’s blurb and noting he has a superfluity of offspring, I’m not surprised at the desire of the Barnes couple to add to the gross over abundance of humans on this poor planet. Depressing.
The detection element of this novel is interesting and worthwhile if one can ignore the personal life of the main character.
Rhys David is excellent.

What a brilliant debut! Can’t wait for the next instalment!
Superb in every way! Well written, unrivalled police procedure, likeable and believable characters. And all set a stones throw away from me irl! Thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. Highly recommend!

Disappointing
This book is not a tense crime thriller but rather a tedious and long winded attempt at a crime thriller. The narrator is good but the author isn't. Not recommended.

Gripping crime thriller with twists & turns
Fantastically descriptive story that draws the reader in.
Lots of local knowledge and great depth to the characters. Looking forward to book 2!
