About this listen

"He might be a nobody, but he was their nobody and their first case."

The new Kings Lake Central murder squad is about to spend its first morning on team-building exercises and reviewing cold cases when the call comes in that the body of one of the city's rough sleepers has been found in a shop doorway. It happens, someone says, he isn't the first to die on the streets and he won't be the last, but the story the new team begins to uncover is far from routine.

New characters appear and new relationships form as the pressure grows on Detective Chief Inspector Cara Freeman to deliver a result and show that Kings Lake's first specialist team is worth the money. Detective Sergeant Christopher Waters discovers links to a previous investigation, learns that there is more than one way to run a successful squad and finds flower arranging more interesting than he would ever have imagined.

I’ve become a big fan of Peter Grainger. He’s so good at drawing characters, plus his insights into police procedural challenges are second to none. I found the narrator very good, albeit a touch slow. Easily resolved by speeding up a touch. Highly recommended,

Another Great Story

I would recommend the series of DC Smith books and the Kingslake books to anyone that likes a very well crafted and very well narrated detective story.

This series is brilliant

The writing is excellent. Thoughtful and measured. The narration is a perfect match for this.

The main thing I like about the series so far is that it feels far more realistic than many police murder series. So far, I’ve listened to 2 books in this series, and there have been 2 murders. One in each book. Some authors I’ve followed seem unable to make a book compelling without a far higher and vividly described, murder body count. I am tired of these books where murders are numerous, and the main police characters are all deeply troubled, or unable to go to work without having affairs, or fights. This series is a refreshing change of pace.


Also, I like the sometimes lengthy descriptions of police and legal processes.

The characters are all very interesting. No screaming at each other, so far, or physical fighting, or mating. I think this is a master class in precise and sensitive writing with a minimalist approach.

Good, believable plots.

Fantastic narration.

Understated style

Nothing to dislike, interesting story that keeps you thinking, exceptional police procedure (think line of duty), wonderful narration. Thanks for another great audio book from Peter Grainger!

Another perfect story and performance

Very strong character development, true detection work giving rader chance to solve clues along with Detectives - quality writing that makes ease of visualisation for reader.....I am hooked!

just as good as 1st book in series-true DETECTIVE work

Some people may find the almost forensic style of writing and very measured narration too slow and pedantic but I find it adds to the enjoyment of the book.

Love the meticulous detail and as it’s the second book enjoyed meeting the team again

Currently working my way through every book Kings Lake and DC Smith series. Will be bereft when I get to the end.

Love this Kings Lake world

This series of books and the earlier one by Peter Grainger are one of my favourites. It’s the perfect marriage of excellent writing and a brilliant narrator for me. Mr Grainger clearly does a lot of research so there’s always something to learn, and the plots are not so complicated that I can’t follow them. Highly recommended

it's a combination of story and narrative. I'm going through both series without stopping

can't stop listening to his stories

I’ve not felt like this about an author I’ve read two books recently . Books 1 and 2 were both addictive and throughly thrilling. I’m going to download book 3 now .
Getting involved with the characters was a great experience.
The narrator suits the books and really helps bring them to life .

Cracking book
