Where Secrets Lie

Detective Karen Hart, Book 2

By: D. S. Butler

Narrated by: Henrietta Meire

Beneath a quiet village, dark crimes lie buried.

When decomposed human remains are discovered in a suitcase behind a locked door in the home of an elderly man, Detective Karen Hart thinks the facts speak for themselves. That is, until she finds the warning: It’s time to pay for your crime.

The body belongs to a former teacher, Oliver Fox, who vanished from the village thirty years earlier. Hart’s instincts tell her there is something untoward about this rural Lincolnshire community—especially when she uncovers evidence suggesting that, although Fox was a victim, he certainly wasn’t innocent. As the extent of Fox’s crimes becomes apparent and the web of lies continues to unravel, almost nobody in the village is above suspicion.

When there are whispers of child abuse in connection with the case, it’s clear someone is willing to do anything to keep the sinister truth buried. Can Hart find the culprit before more lives are lost?

love this series

was a little skeptical at first, I listened to half and then moved to a different one, but wish I had stuck it out it really is a good series likeable characters and pretty good cases so far!!!

Struggled!

I listened to book 1 and barely made it through it. Book 2 I tried! The potential for this book is there, the story is good, but I'm struggling with the characters. The young detective us a whiner and I can't listen to or watch anything with whining. I can't finish series.

Enjoyed it!

I listened to the audiobook of this. It was pretty awesome! The British Accent took a bit to get used to but the language itself would have been harder to read I think!

I started this one instantly after finishing Bring Them Home. I just needed more of DS Hart. This one was wow, maybe the secrets should have stayed buried? I never would have guessed what really happened, but not to worry, you will find out at the end.

Mouth breather

The story was fine but the reader taken a breathe in every few words ruined it for me. If the next book is the same I’ll will have to abandon the series which is sad.

Probably way too long .....

What happened in the prologue was not addressed until way later in the book when I had completely forgotten about it. A decent story but there was so much back-and-forth, back to your desk to look at files, hop in the car to go interview somebody, back to your desk to review files and notes. Plus there were three or four side stories to hear about. All in all it was OK but not a memorable book. I love the narrator, Henrietta Meire, and have listened to her on several other books. She had to deal with so many different voices as well.
