About this listen

A body with no clues. A killer with no heart. A cop with no hope.

When the body of a young woman is found on the banks of the River Thames, Detective Inspector Simon Wise is called to investigate. With his team at half-strength and still trying to deal with their own trauma, he hopes it's a straight-forward case. But London is a cruel city and Wise soon find himself hunting the most ruthless of killers.

Into the River Dead is the fourth book in the DI Simon Wise Crime Thriller series and set on the streets of London. If you like dark police procedurals, complex characters, and shocking twists, then you’ll love Michael Dylan’s pulse-pounding crime series.

Another great episode in the life of Simon Wise. Left on a cliffhanger, so can’t wait for the next one. Colin Mace is the perfect narrator as always.

Brilliant!

I loved this book - I love this series - great characters in gritty stories - narrated supremely by Colin Mace - I could go on & on - but simply put among the best crime books you will read ! Up there with Tony Parson’s Max Wolfe & Simon Michael’s Charles Holborne… cannot wait til book 5!!!!

Another belter from the maestros Dylan & Mace!

This is such an excellent book in the DI Simon Wise series by Michael Dylan.
Good story and of course the continuing anxiety about his brother - proper ‘omg’ moments and even biting my lip - especially at the end.
I am impatient for book 5 of course, and really hoping that his stupid DCI boss gets head butted & booted out.
Excellently narrated by Colin Mace.
Highly recommend this series.

Absolutely Cracking

what a great read I love this author and the continuous story of Wise and his team

Amazing

Wise is a good cop, a good man, with an evil brother. The difficulty of solving a crime with the spectre of his brother hanging over him makes this a fantastic story. I wait with anticipation for the next book in the series.

Outstanding read

This latest outing, whilst again expertly narrated and written, felt a little more low key than its predecessor. This is in no way a complaint and the story serves both to introduce new characters into the mix while dealing with the fallout from the last book.

The pacing moves along steadily and I would have liked to see a little more into the mind and history of the antagonist. I feel we are slowly building to a confrontation between the brothers that is going to be epic and can’t wait to see what happens next.

More please!

Another great addition to the series!

I came across this series accidentally, but have now listened to all four books, narrated by the brilliant Colin Mace. I was delighted to receive an email from Michael Dylan’s website, attaching the prequel to the series, which was also excellent and set up Simon Wise’s back story. (I wondered if the character of ‘Cameron Mace’, in charge of the safe house, was a nod to the narrator of the audiobooks?) Into The River Dead was another excellent story and has left so many unanswered questions and such a cliffhanger, that I cannot wait for book 5!

Fantastic series - superbly narrated!

Great narrator and a storyline that kept you guessing to the end can’t wait for next episode

Gripping

the story overall is a good one but then for some reason the ending is concretely rushed. almost like it's done as an after thought. the 3rd book did the same thing but this one was infuriating.

rushed at the end yet again.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Shorter than previous novels. Some plot holes. No explanation for the crime, seemed to be a rushed ending

Performance strong as with the other books.
