A trail of secrets. A dangerous discovery. A deadly turn.

Police officer Sebastian Clifford never planned on becoming a private investigator. But when a scandal leads to the disbandment of his London based special squad, he finds himself out of a job. That is, until his cousin calls on him to investigate her husband’s high-profile death, and prove that it wasn’t a suicide.

Clifford’s reluctant to get involved, but the more he digs, the more evidence he finds. With his ability to remember everything he's ever seen, he's the perfect person to untangle the layers of deceit.

He meets Detective Constable Bird, an underutilized detective at Market Harborough’s police force, who refuses to give him access to the records he’s requested unless he allows her to help with the investigation. Clifford isn't thrilled. The last time he worked as part of a team it ended his career. But with time running out, Clifford is out of options. Together they must wade through the web of lies in the hope that they’ll find the truth before it kills them.

Great beginning to a new series

Really enjoyed this story.
The narration was spot on, story tight and extremely likeable characters

A Solid British Crime Mystery

The first in a new series, we first met this main character in the tenth installment of the Cavendish and Walker series also by Sally Rigby. Rigby has a way of writing characters that stick in one's memory. They're quirky, unapologetically human and completely relatable. I have come to crave the "next" installment each and every time I finish the current one. This first in its series is no exception. Knowing her skill at providing ever more depth and insight into these characters with each new storyline, I am truly looking forward to discovering where she will take them next. A great audiobook. You'll be hooked before you know it!

A bit predictable

I almost ended this book about 30 minutes in due to the narrator. He does a great job with his male character voices but made me cringe with the children and females. It would have been so much easier to listen to if it was a dual reading with a woman.
Story line is a bit predictable. Sounded pretty much the same as a lot of other cop/mystery stories.

Loved it!

Had been looking for a good crime series that was not overly "blood and guts" or "child torture" or white knuckle reading. . . just an intelligent who-done-it with likable characters. So glad that Rigby has a good book list under her belt. I will be devouring all of it.

Slowly catch the killer.

Not the best book on the shelf. But it has its moments. Predictable. Fun listen. Enjoyed!
