Summary
DI Blackwell will do anything to keep her niece safe. And the bomber knows it.
When a local school is the target of a bomb threat, DI Louise Blackwell finds herself embroiled in her most personal case to date. Not only is her niece among the terrified pupils—there’s also a chilling note hidden under the device: Next time you won’t be so lucky, DI Blackwell…
The explosion of a nearby caravan offers a connection…and a suspect. But when he hangs himself after interrogation, leaving another note promising more carnage, Blackwell fears there’s an accomplice.
Could Tim Finch, a former DCI on remand for attempted murder, be pulling strings from prison? He certainly seems set on bringing Blackwell down, if only to derail the case against him. Or could the devious nephew of Max Walton, the serial killer Blackwell shot and killed, be seeking revenge on behalf of his uncle?
As the threats escalate and pressure to solve the case mounts, Blackwell is sucked into a series of horrific events that reach a chaotic and terrifying crescendo on Weston-super-Mare’s Grand Pier. Can she stand firm against a rival hell-bent on destroying her—or will she fall into the killer’s deadly trap?

Disappointing
Having listened to other stories in the series this was not as good and ruined by a rather strident and affected narration.

An enjoyable listen
A good pace, and an entertaining listen on a rainy Sunday. Not listened to or read anything else by Matt Brolly but I will look out for more.

Not as Good as the Others
This I think is the fifth book in this series I have downloaded. Written and narrated as well as the other four. But the story is dragging on a bit. And is becoming very unbelievable. That being said it is still worth a credit. But as I have mentioned before , it can be a stand alone. But I would listen chronology.

The narrator
Again the narrator. I never thought I would listen to a book that was read smugly. She sounds like some nasty schoolgirl who is telling the headmistress a story and knows that she can get away with it. Really do I give less than five stars for a book as I choose carefully, but this was a disaster. Sorry but won’t be listening to this narrator ever again.

Good book....awful narration
I love Matt Brolly police procedural books so thought I would give the audiobook a go. Big mistake! The narration is terrible and has completely changed the feel and authenticity of the book. It sounds like a bad romance type book where everyone is terribly well spoken and they all sound pretty much the same!! She doesn't seem to get the humour or sarcasm without just sounding smarmy, and Louise is hard to take seriously when she is performed as an over emotional woman who sounds more fitting as a drama teacher in a private school.
I honestly am finding it really hard to listen to. It is a good book but presented in such an annoying fashion makes it impossible to enjoy. A total waste of a credit. I shall definitely stick to reading this series by Matt Brolly and continue getting the real feel of the books.

The narrator was very off putting and weak story
The narrator was very off putting, sadly worst audio book I've listened to. Story was weak and a bit pointless
