About this listen

It is every mother's nightmare. Her child is missing, found murdered. Her lover is the prime suspect.

It is every police officer's dread. A child murder. A circumstantial case.

It is every solicitor's dream. Twelve men and women will decide the verdict. But only you can decide if justice is done for the victim.

loved it, good pace and accurate accents by the narrator. Kept you wondering about the suspect's guilt or not until the end.

Great book

The plot and the outcome just do not gel. it's as if the author just couldn't bother to properly complete the story! disappointing.

At the end of pt 1, you are entertained by a short snippet of part 2 but then cannot find part 2 on audible! What is that all about?

Sadly foreshortened by audible

Good story made great by the narration. Couldn’t better the performance, I’m buying the next in the series and I hope he keeps up the record of not one irritatingly bad accent whatsoever!

Close to the best

Lynda La Plante is a GREAT writer and this book was no exception. Her characters are believable (just) and her dialogue was read - with accents - in an engaging way. But the plotting and courtroom action let’s this book down. For me.
When I did jury service we were instructed to weigh the evidence and facts - not just rely on prejudice and gut feelings.Decisions took time.
This book comes too fast to an unsatisfying end and spoon fed the conclusion - despite unresolved issues. Maybe parts 2 and 3 are in progress? Maybe a later volume will remove the “so what” impression that made me feel I’d lost time unproductively.

Let down at end

I was surprised that I didn’t much care for the Prime Suspect novels, so wasn’t too sure what I would make of these other Lynda La Plante works. I was pleasantly surprised! I found the storyline gripping, if a bit gory for me, and Colin Mace’s narration was superb. He has a wonderful deep and easy voice and is very good at switching character, with all of his voices and accents being convincing. A revelation! I will look out for other books narrated by him.

The narrater was excellent in my opinion and made every character come alive. He has made it difficult to listen to anyone else.

Really good performance

I really enjoyed this first book in the series it was very engaging and kept the brain working I still didn't think it was Michael right up to the very end, I thought Peter had something to do with it, narration was very good and added to the suspense
