About this listen

An exceptionally good mystery from Wales' best up-and-coming talent!

A body is found in a dark and dingy tunnel at the bottom of Dinas Rock, the site of a disused mine. There is no sign of struggle...

Detective Inspector Winter Meadows suspects the victim, youth worker David Harris, willingly reached the location where he met his end. He must have known his killer.

But he must have known something else, too. Meadows discovers that Dinas Rock has a history of tragedy. Years ago a teenage girl met her end there, and Harris was present.

As Meadows investigates the old case alongside the new, he opens old wounds. Ones that have festered for years. Can he find the killer before the inquiry forces them to strike again?

Lies of Mine is the fifth standalone title in a series of murder mysteries featuring DI Winter Meadows by best-selling author Cheryl Rees-Price.

Interesting characters, good plot which kept me changing my mind about who was the killer, and thank you Cheryl re cannabis given that I resent the fact that idiots can drink and cause mayhem but arthritics like me can’t have access to a beneficial herb! I really like Winter Meadows.

Another excellent story

I’m gradually working my way through the series and the characters are growing on me, I really liked the thread of this story even if I’d worked it out quite early on, a really enjoyable book

Loved the story

I've listened to this audiobook and thought "was it just me?" but no, other reviewers are saying the same. The unrelenting use of the word "said" becomes slightly irritating and, by the end, really grates on you! It's a combination of the unnecessary over-use of the word "said" by the author and the fact that the narrator obviously likes to use the same fairly monotone voice for all non-dialogue text.

"would you like a sandwich?" mum said
"yeah ok" dad said
"what would you like in it?" mum said
"what have we got?" dad said
"what would you like?" mum said

You get the picture? It's a small thing but I paid for this title and it's a little disappointing that the writing is so unimaginative. A little more creativity and this could be a very good read/listen. The narration is not the best but I've heard much worse and it probably wouldn't put me off another title by the same narrator. I've been really spoiled by some fantastic narrators on Audible and this guy has a slightly strange way of reading non-dialogue text. I can't quite put my finger on it but it's a little unusual - and I'm not sure why I find it slightly off-putting. It's a lovely soft Welsh lilt though.

He said, she said, enough said!

I have gotten bord with the characters. There are too many "said ......". all pronounced with the same intonation. it was very distracting and in the end annoying. I won't be continuing with the series.

To many "said ....."'

I really enjoy the storylines and characters in this series. I WANT to keep listening to it, but I genuinely don't think I can. It might be bearable in normal book format, but in audiobook format the author's constant use of "Meadows said", "Edris said", "she/he said" just about drove me to commit a murder of my own. There are other ways to make it clear who's speaking, for Christ sake.

You've got an excellent narrator, and your readers aren't idiots. Trust us to know who's bloody speaking!! It ruined things for me so much that I felt like I was slogging through the book rather than being immersed in it. I could feel my teeth clenching just a little harder each time. Probably cracked one of them by the end.

If I hear "she/he said" one more time...

Having listened to all of books 1-5 in the series, I'm not sure if I can endure more of the he said/she said that is an integral part of the narration. It totally spoils the books, and once you are aware of it, you start to hear it in almost every sentence! The characters are likeable and engaging, but with so many other books to read, I will try another series for now.

Story and narrator good but....
