A story about a man. don't we all have a story

Revisado: 02-04-25

In the workplace, no matter what or where, the personalities differ, you're either valued, or not. You know the person in your workplace, or perhaps it is a woman.
D.C. Smith is that man, decades of experience in police work, often failing to comply with direct orders, but NOT a loose cannon.
This story I've concluded is written in such a way that we'd see a headline about a missing young teen in our own newspaper or local news.
But, as we're unique. It is the back story, also about a calendar and clock running far too fast.
I had to finish it (the book) today. I felt for all involved. then, the orator and author manage to dictate our emotions.
What is so wonderful than a book we won't let go of.
Brilliant! Simply brilliant.

Perfection on all levels

Revisado: 01-12-25

I felt sad when the message ending the story came across.

I'm going back and re-listening to the earlier books, hoping a new one will be available sooner rather than a long lapse.

What a remarkable story, how human the characters became. Glancing up on the screen, I see the book ran over 14 hours.
Impossible to believe that now that it's concluded.

Savor this as you would something you enjoy. It's eloquent, sensitive, dramatic and fearful,
The narrator MUST NEVER BE REPLACED. I loved the narration as I did the facets of this novel.
What a find this series is. It is not geared for a particular gender.
My only suggestion, is to begin with book #1, come to know the characters as they'll become your friend.

Knowing the Inspector Barnaby from TV, or the personalities in the villages, you are treated to more in the way of reality in the book or audible.
wonderful surprise, not milk toasty.

so far the best story lines, and a bit 'salty'.
the human side of people were well developed.

not for me,

Revisado: 11-29-23

SOME enjoy somethings, other's NOT so much.
I tried, I really tried to like the story line, the characters,
I was lost, confused,
NOPE,
not for me.

twice was the charm for me

Revisado: 09-21-23

Yes, I read the book on my kindle.
What I didn't do, was SAVOR the words, the first time.
The story line was perfect, but my impatience I needed to know who was the Murderer.
NO.
The next time I went to the book I took it to the Audible level.
Rory Kinnear is brilliant. FULL STOP.
Audible let me pick up so much of what I'd missed the first time.
If you enjoy a laugh at the human nature, we all share,
and if you love a brilliant 'who did it' this is indeed it.

I've come to love Aggie, the people who cross her path will either want her dead or love her.

I'd seen the motion picture, several times

Revisado: 01-08-23

The 'book was better', DOES NOT APPLY IN THIS CASE.
Though I listened through the Audible, waiting for some great finale.
I did NOT happen,
I'll never get those hours back again,
I'm doing you a favor,
See the motion picture, yes its dated, but c'mon, Hitchcock had his hand in it.

we all have a story and most likely its a secret

Revisado: 11-30-22

The wait time for this novel was moving at a snails pace.
When it finally dropped into my Audible and Kindle, it was like a ride on the Bullet Train and there was no getting off.
Worth the wait, ABSOLUTELY,
I felt as though I was running alongside,
Laughed out loud, waking a sleeping cat,
It was an adventure, an escape with people who now are more relaxed with one another and yet their chemistry often like oil and water.
I did not want it to end.
Still annoyed, it did.
