About this listen

Luke flung the light of his torch full onto the face of the immobile figure. Then he had the shock of his life. The man had no face! Where his face should have been was a sort of inhuman, uniform blank!

When a body is found at an isolated garage, Inspector Meredith is drawn into a complex investigation where every clue leads to another puzzle: was this a suicide or something more sinister? Why was the dead man planning to flee the country? And how is this connected to the shady business dealings of the garage?

This classic mystery tale is set amidst the stunning scenery of a small village in the Lake District.

At last, I feel like I have just heard a great detective story and been able to contribute and follow everything that happens without rewinding parts several times. No gore, no swearing, no nightmares just a refreshing, "page turning" listen.

A great listen . loved it!!!!

This is an enjoyable and convoluted murder mystery investigated by the resolute Inspector Meredith. Similar to the authors other books in this genre, the book provides an interesting setting and backdrop. The story is slow paced and gentle, with lots of detail. Consequently, the second half of the story feels a little slow in reaching the denouement.

Enjoyable Murder Mystery

lost it's way !

Makes a change from the usual detective story. Main character has no flaws, no hidden family secrets and it isn't actually very exciting. But well written and a nice piece of nostalgia.

Slow and somewhat outdated

a very different style but well worth the effort ...you feel like the detective himself, painstakingly working through the false leads and turns to the logical conclusions

not agatha but still intriguing...

Good old fashioned murder mystery. Kept me listening all the way through. Well presented. I have already listened to The Cornish mystery and now will listen to The Sussex Downs mystery, which is waiting for me in my Audible library. Another new author for me to follow. Well done Audible. I would never have found him without you.

Interesting start and premise, but too much minute detail- slows pace and sacrifices characterisation for intricate technical details... "Meticulous accounts of painstaking detail" becomes repetitive and is overly complex to be convincing as a real crime...

Begins well, but drags

Nicely read, dull characters and non gripping story. Not quite agatha Christie. reasonably enjoyable but not a page turner...

nicely read, dull characters
