About this listen
Four murders. Four messages. One chance to catch a killer.
Renowned human rights lawyer Elizabeth Maurier lies dead, her body mutilated, her killer unknown. For DI Olivia Martins and her team, it’s a mystery. For the victim’s daughter Lizzy, a poet and academic with a shaky grasp on reality, it’s a tragedy. But for Sam Williams, the man Elizabeth fired a decade ago and hasn’t spoken to since, it’s a whole new world of pain.
Elizabeth’s death has stirred a sleeping past back to life. Former clients are darkening Sam’s door, old enemies returning, ancient cases reopening. It doesn’t help that DI Martins is on his case, the press are dogging his every step, and his girlfriend’s behavior is increasingly erratic.
But Elizabeth’s murder is just the start. As Sam reluctantly digs his way back into the past, more truths will crumble into lies. More certainties will shade to doubt. And more innocent people will die.

Excellent
Because of furlough it’s taken longer to get some listening time to finish this book. Thanks to furlough I got to extend this excellent book!
It’s got the thriller & mayhem filling I really enjoy.
The characters are full on, some you will really like, a couple you probably won’t like. Exactly what a book needs.
The narrator was spot on, really enjoyed the telling of this book.

Fast paced thriller
After the death of a human rights lawyer Sam is pulled into a mystery of four murders and how and why his old boss was murdered. Are the cases linked and as Sam starts to get under the collar of a resident DI and his relationship seems to be falling apart Sam has to open up some dark stories from his past that he thought he had locked away for ever.
This is a fast paced thriller and I really enjoyed it. I also thought the narrator had a lovely tone which added to the enjoyment.

another good listen
Quirky Sam is back and reluctantly pulled into a twisty murder enquiry. Exploring old demons and foes, a good listen and keeps you guessing.

A super sequel.
This was a very entertaining sequel to the first Sam Williams book. A complex story set around the death of Sams old boss Elizabeth and three other women. All horribly mutilated and messages left beside them in their own blood. The police don’t want him anywhere near the case, but Sam is drawn in to it regardless. So while dealing with relationship problems at home, old resentments, a disturbing case from the past and a friend who needs but doesn’t want his support, Sam has his hands full. He also has to face the fact that he’s a pretty self absorbed individual, who doesn’t always see what’s going on around him and is guilty of misjudging things/people from time to time. Big lessons to learn. But he does! I enjoyed the story, it was well written, but I’m left with some unanswered questions, .....that I’m sure will be answered in the next Sam Williams book. There Has to be one, doesn’t there? One little drawback which prevented me giving 5 stars overall, was the voice/ accent given to a major character. It sounded to my ears like a “Uriah Heep “ and I couldn’t get the picture of Martin Jarvis in that role out of my head! It totally spoiled an important player in the story for me, I couldn’t take him seriously. This is of course a purely personal opinion and I’m sure others will disagree . But I’m sure we can all agree it’s a book well worth recommending.

Sam Williams becomes a man!
What a marvellous turn of events. No One Will Hear picks up where Dead North finished. Sam Williams is back in London, and despite the shocking incidents in Manchester, he is still a somewhat shallow and callow man. He's holding on to old grudges and falls back into familiar patterns. However, as the story plays out, circumstances force Sam to grow up, to stop his tendency towards narcissism and look at the bigger picture. This Sam does, and I wanted to jump up and cheer when he stepped up and became the kind of man you can depend on. Although the plot line around Claire, his girlfriend, is probably considered the minor sub plot, it had a huge impact on me. I wasn't sure how Sam Williams would cope with Claire in her new state. It was so overwhelmingly gratifying to see a writer who allowed his character to grow and develop into a more substantial, deeper, thoughtful man. I loved it and ensures that I will stick with Sam Williams forever. Andrew Calverley delivers a perfect performance and his comic timing guarantees we get the most from Joel Hames' dark and witty humour. A delightful book that I'm thrilled to recommend.

2nd Helping
This is book 2 of the Sam Williams saga back in London bit worse for wear, and sharing a flat with his girlfriend Claire, and this time Sam is summoned to hear the reading of the Will of Human Rights lawyer Elizabeth Maurier, what on earth can he get out of this as she fired him years ago and along with another colleague that he sued have been requested to write her memoirs along with her daughter Lizzy who has peculiar look on life as a whole. What more bizarre is that E Maurier's death was not straight forward and that her tongue was cut out. Sam also has a run-in with the local D I Martins and she wanted nothing to do with Sam, and his friend from the previous case is staying with his wife who is dying, so Sam mans up and best foot forward does what he can, good writing good strong characters and the same great narrator Andrew Calverley as in the 1st book.

Great Sequel
This is the second in the Sam Williams series and I think they are best read in order but it will work as a stand alone, although they do reference the events of the first book.
Sam's ex-boss has been ringing him, but he hasn't picked up the calls. Then she's dead, murdered and he is left a "bequest" to write her memoir with her daughter, and another ex-colleague, whom he had recently sued!
Meanwhile things are not so good on the home front, Clare is struggling with her new boss, her long running story, and has now got a life coach whom Sam doesn't quite trust. Their relationship is not at a high point.
The story is fast paced, the characters credible and it isn't easy to see what is coming.
This is well-told, with a dry humour and eye for detail.
The narration was very good and I think his voice fits very well with the story.
5 stars from me.

Another excellent Sam Williams story
This is the second book in the Sam Williams series and it is very very good. This book is full of twists and turns and keeps you entertained. The narrater Andrew Calverley sounds just right as Sam Williams and makes you feel as if you are hearing a friend talking straight to you not just hearing any old story! Looking forward to more audible books in this series.
