    On a Hawaiian island a wealthy American woman – twice widowed, once divorced – hires a local driver to show her around. As their relationship develops we discover the secrets of narrator, Luis', past.

    Orphaned as a young boy and raised by his aunt, he knows this central truth about himself – his father was a murderer. How does this affect his life; what about the other secrets he has been keeping? And what is the real truth behind Marcia's immediate attraction to him?

  • Ep. 2: The Multiverse Murder
    Apr 10 2018

    The Man Booker prize-winning novelist and poet, Ben Okri makes his Crime debut in this series with a daringly ambitious story that crosses genre. Detective Drapper feels the world is out of kilter as he investigates an alleged crime. There is a witness but no body. And then the facts begin to shift and what should be impossible seems to be happening at every turn.

    Why can no one else see the truth as it soon becomes plain to Drapper and how is he to solve a problem when the very fabric of reality is torn?

  • Ep. 3: Bully the Blue Bear
    Apr 10 2018

    In a departure from the worlds of her crime novels, Sophie Hannah has created a new character especially for this series. Detective Constable Simon Waterhouse can't let a case go. It looks as if it's been solved, but he is sure that something has been missed. As he continues as investigation into the suicide of a schoolyard bully, the underbelly of village life is laid bare – as is the secret pain Waterhouse himself has carried for so long.

    Featuring deranged altercations in the churchyard and a blue bear named Bully, this story by one of our leading crime writers examines the motivations of a very human police officer.

loved some of them

I really enjoyed the first 3 short stories. The 4th took a weird turn and the final two were pretty well done.
