À propos de cet audio
"He saw a bare arm first, the hand palm up with fingers curled inwards. Then he stopped and took a few breaths. He could hear the two constables making arrangements before they separated, one saying he'd bring the other some tape from the car, and then it was just the summer morning quiet again."
Detective Sergeant Chris Waters got the call at 05.29 that July morning. This is it, said DCI Reeve, you'll be first there, it's all yours, you're the crime scene manager. Suddenly, after months of waiting and wondering, Waters finds himself in at the deep end, and alone at the scene of a puzzling murder.
As the investigation proceeds, the detectives at Kings Lake Central find themselves visiting familiar places and talking to some familiar faces, while old enmities reappear in the incident room. Before this is over, Chris Waters will need to make a career-changing decision, and another member of the CID team will find herself facing an unexpected challenge. And Smith? Gone but not forgotten? Surely, he would say, you cannot write me off with a worn-out cliche like that....

The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so.

My darling son, Sam, is marrying his childhood sweetheart, and I couldn’t be prouder of the man he’s grown into. Walking out on his abusive father all those years ago was the best thing I ever did. And today he stands, tall and handsome, saying "I do" to my dream daughter-in-law. If I hadn’t pushed them together all those years ago, he might never have found a girl as perfect as Lauren. It’s true what they say, mother always knows best.

Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd.

There he gets the glimpse of Todd’s wife he’s hoping for...but she is not Natalie....

Solid police procedural series with excellent narration
Started with DC Smith series and pleased to continue with this one. Very well written and excellent character development. Narration was great - can make or break a book for me and this narrator did an excellent job.

Yes!
After listening to the full DC Smith series, I was delighted to find that there was a Kings Lake series! This author could write a shopping list, and make it entertaining. And the icing on the cake is Gildart Jackson's narration.

Not my favourite
I am a huge fan of the DC Smith series so I was hopeful that Songbird would lead into another enjoyable series. Overall, this book did not have the charm and humour that the DC Smith books have.

Impressive writing and performance.
Peter Grainger is a new author for me, but it's easy to see people are more than satisfied with his police procedural novels. I felt a bit in the dark for perhaps the first couple of hours. The time spent at the crime scene was, well, it was unusual for a reader or listener such as myself. Having heard the whole novel, I can better appreciate why: The cast of characters is perhaps a bit crowded. But you soon realize that there are no superfluous characters. I really found DS Waters a likable and interesting guy, and I definitely want to follow his career. From what I gather, he must be in Grainger's DC Smith series of books, and I may have to get one of those next time I purchase a novel by Grainger. Gildart Jackson was sensational in his reading. Male or female, he brought those characters to life. He is a pro.
Some bothers: Yes, it is a bit of a long book, and my attention did flag more than a few times, but I never felt I was missing out on something of great significance. No spoilers, but once it became evident who truly was the guilty party, I began to hope for a good twist or some eye opening reason for the crime. It doesn't occur.
The audio itself is nicely produced except for some amateur distractions - such as the narrator turning the pages of his script. And, believe it or not, a police siren is "Audible" in the background at 7:20 of chapter 41. Come on!

Kept my attention
I love a good procedural but sometimes they do drone on. Not this one.
My attention was held from the first to the last and I’ve downloaded the next.
Highly recommend.

Disappointing stance on violence against women
The narration is superb. However, I am disgusted that Mr. Grainger suggests that women ‘invite’ violent behaviour from men because of choices the women make, such as what blouse she chooses to wear. Very offensive.

If you enjoyed DC ...
Wasn’t sure how this would continue from the last of the DC Smith series, but now I have finished it, I can say that it continued with a story, plot and delivery that was absolutely excellent. Very detailed, but it caught the attention at each and every stage with a continuation of the prior set of characters, and the development of a few new ones.
Would I recommend this book - definitely - looking forward to more too.
