The Body In The Mist

DCI Craig Gillard, Book 3

By: Nick Louth

Narrated by: Marston York

From master storyteller Nick Louth comes the third installment in the DCI Craig Gillard series. Perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Angela Marsons and Faith Martin.
A body is found on a quiet lane in Exmoor, victim of a hit and run. He has no ID, no wallet, no phone, and – after being dragged along the road – no recognisable face. Meanwhile, fresh from his last case, DCI Craig Gillard is unexpectedly called away to Devon on family business. Gillard is soon embroiled when the car in question is traced to his aunt. As he delves deeper, a dark mystery reveals itself, haunted by family secrets, with repercussions Gillard could never have imagined. The past has never been deadlier.

best one yet of the series

very entertaining with several plots going simultaneously. great performance by the performer/reader. my favorite so far in this series.

Meh…

This is my 3rd book of this series, and I enjoyed the first too much more. I like the way Lauth weaves in a mystery within a mystery, but on this book the extra storyline felt forced. Also seemed that the last quarter of the book seemed padded as to lengthen the story.

Best of the series - when I could hear it

Not crazy about the narrator - he makes Sam sounds like a dimwit - but mostly not crazy about the low volume of the recording itself. If I was in traffic (windows closed) or walked away from the player at home, I had to rewind to hear what I missed. The book itself is terrific. Big improvement over the second one.

Clever but creepy

This is such a well thought out story but there were so many uncomfortable sexual interactions within family which made me want to puke. I loved the 2nd book more than this as I found it more easy to listen to. However, I can see why many people would like this; it’s just so so clever. I hated the ending though!!! I feel terrible for Gillard and I am thankful I do not belong to his family in any way!!

Twisted and evil keeps you guessing

I enjoy Nick Louth’s books, story lines with lots of twist and turns. Narrated well
