About this listen

His best friend has been murdered, his daughter's in danger.

There's only one answer. Going back to his old life.

The one that cost him his wife…

Michael Brady was a high-flying detective, working on a high-profile case.

And much too close to the truth.

Someone arranged a hit-and-run.

But they missed Brady. And hit his wife.

And after six months sitting by her bed, he took the only decision he could take. He turned the machine off.

Now he's back home in Whitby. Trying to rebuild his life. And be a good dad to his teenage daughter.

But when his best friend is murdered Brady–unwillingly at first–is drawn into the investigation.

And when the only people he has left are threatened, he finds there's only one answer.

Going back to his old life…

Salt in the Wounds is the first novel from award winning writer and blogger Mark Richards. It's set in Whitby, on the North Yorkshire coast, and tells the story of former Detective Inspector Michael Brady. His wife's dead and he's back in his home town–trying to rebuild his life and be a good dad to his 13 year old daughter.

A very enjoyable listen. Following the loss of his wife Michael Brady retires to Whitby but circumstances pull him back in to investigating after the death of his friend. A variety of twists and turns throughout the book keep you guessing what the outcome will be. Highly recommended for fans of crime mysteries. Very good narration brings the story to life.

I love Whitby and as such found this book more enchanting than if I had not. The story line is captivating and the characters are well described. Overall classic police/detective set up but fun listen. I shall go onto the next book.

Good story line in beautiful setting

Simple and believable story, but written in a refreshing style that ties together not only the present, past and the future, but also witty thoughts of the main character.
