About this listen
When an archaeological investigation of an old prisoner of war camp turns up several bodies in unmarked graves, it should be an open and shut case for DCI John Blizzard. But on a foggy November morning, his instinct that something is not quite right is confirmed when forensics show that while most of the victims died during a flu epidemic after the Second World War, one of the deaths was far more recent.
Who is this man? Why was he killed? As Blizzard and his team investigate, they begin to uncover a cruel crime and a promise of revenge that goes back generations. Worse, the killer is at large and now motivated to strike again. Can Blizzard piece together the puzzle and let old wounds finally heal?

Slow going
I found this book really hard going, nearly giving up numerous times;the slow laborious speech of the narrator was so boring that the story was difficult to follow. Really was a snooze fest. I won't be listening to anymore of the books in the series unless the narrator has been changed.

Too boring to complete.
As always, Nicholas Camm's narration is excellent. I tried so many times to complete the book but found I was having to rewind over and over as it was so boring my mind kept wandering. Sorry but on this occasion I cannot recommend.

Complicated, not stitched together and Oh! The narration…
Narrator made Blizzard sound at times like a Cornish pirate and at others northern of no fixed origin. Unfortunately the drawn out, slow and sometimes inaccessible narration meant that by the end I had no interest in who had done what or why. Complicated and unstitched together. I wouldn’t recommend

Gave up
Not sure if it was the long drawn out narration or just not caring about any of the characters including the murder victims but - very unusually- I gave up!!
