Summary

A brand-new detective mystery from number one best-selling author Helen H. Durrant.

Ronald Potter is found dead on the kitchen floor of a house he was about to show a client around. Ronald led a blameless life, and Detective Matt Brindle and the team cannot find any motive for his murder.

But an intensive search of the property leads to a very disturbing discovery in the cellar.

Meanwhile, a young mother is being held captive by someone who will stop at nothing to get the information they want.

DI Matt Brindle discovers connections to organised crime and a sleazy nightclub. Can he expose the villains before any more people die?

This is a detective mystery full of twists and turns, with a stunning edge-of-your-seat ending.

If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, Mel Sherratt, Ruth Rendell or Mark Billingham, you will enjoy this exciting new crime fiction writer.

Oh Tim,! Stay in the Archers

I nearly gave up on the book largely because of its interpretation by Tim Bentinck who really couldn’t handle womens voices at all well. The hero’s mother was a veritable double of Alan Bennett being Thora Hird, shame because Tim Bentink’s normal speaking voice is so nice. I must say I found the story quite un absorbing too, and not a patch on the first of this series.

Lazy

I think the author must have been under pressure to write this book. It started very well but then descended into silliness
A bit disappointing as I have come to expect much more from Helen Durrant

Story good

Accents not true to Northern areas, there are so many different ones in the North of England. Womens voices not quite right, more practice needed here. Stick to the day job, as in David Archer. You are much better at Southern dialects Mr Bentink. I enjoyed the story though.

The other victim

Some of the storey lines didn’t add up. The discovery of the real name of the prime suspect and Matt decides to leave it to later and go off to do something else!! A few other bits like this as well, but overall a good storey

Thoroughly enjoyable

The characterisation was well described adding colour to a well-constructed narrative. The story as a whole held one’s attention throughout. Can recommend this book wholeheartedly.

Another exciting book from Helen H Durrant

The storyline is impressive, the characters fascinating, and the action is fearless. Many twists and turns along the way to keep you gripped. I just had to listen in one sitting!
