MURDER IS SKIN DEEP

DCI Garrick - book 2

ONE VICTIM. WRONG BODY.

DCI David Garrick’s latest case begins with a corpse that shouldn’t exist—and a detail so bizarre it sparks a national media storm.

At the centre of the chaos is a mysterious new street artist, a “Banksy”-like figure whose work is suddenly worth a fortune—and whispered to carry a deadly curse. When collectors start dying and an ambitious art dealer realises he may be next, Garrick and his team are dragged into a deadly game of greed, deception, and murder.

But the case is more than just twisted motives and priceless art. With the press watching his every move, his health failing, and the shadow of his sister’s unsolved murder hanging over him, Garrick can’t shake the feeling that someone is pulling the strings.

Is the killer taunting him? Or is his own fractured mind betraying him once again?

Murder Is Skin Deep is the explosive second novel in M.G. Cole’s gritty British crime series—perfect for fans of Peter James, JD Kirk, and Val McDermid.

“M.G. Cole is a brilliant new addition to the echelon of British crimewriters.”
Peter James

"Dark, grim, tense. A compelling new voice."
PAUL FINCH, author of the Detective Mark Heckenburg novels.

Say no to AI

Some narrators are better than others. Even considering narrators that I dislike immensely, an AI narrator is a bad choice. There is no tone. It sounds like someone reading their to do list. Monotone and some of the word pronunciations and numbers. Dreadful

Stop using electronic voice

Story was good but the voice reading so difficult to listen to. Why ruin a good story!

Nice series.

Virtual voice on this series is not bad at all. More clearer than listening to some live British -accented narrators.

Great book
