Lots of blah blah

I am always looking for a new series and decided to try this one. Not a good decision. The story is told in far to much painful detail. The story moves along like some UK television series taking too long to get to the point. They don't have a good story to tell so they bore you to death with babble about what 40 characters were thinking about while waiting for paint to dry. I wonder if the UK police are really so political. The story makes you wonder if they solve crimes by accident and while hiding from their bosses. My advice look elsewhere for a good story.

Great read... or listen!

I was hesitant to purchase this and start another series, but I'm glad I did. The author left a great hook at the end that encourages me to read the next installment.

Layered plotline, convincingly human characters, strong protagonist, entertaining.

The writing style was efficient, informative & very aware of human weaknesses, human nature & human strengths. Recommend!

Good story. Mediocre narration

Liked the story but the narration made it difficult to tell when the narrative switched from one character to the next. The narrator needs to learn to use micro pauses

Fun listen….

Another great book by Faith. Another book you haven’t solved until the end of the book.
