About this listen

Detective Constable Connie Childs is dragged from her bed to the fire-wrecked property on Cross Farm Lane. Three bodies discovered, a family obliterated, and their deaths all seem to point to one conclusion - one mother, one murderer. But DC Childs realises it is the fourth body, the one they cannot find, that holds the key to the mystery. Her determination to unmask the murderer might cost her the thing she cares about most: her career.

that ending, though

Urgh! A fairly solid, if kind of generic mystery with an extraordinarily frustrating ending.
This was, apparently, third in a series. I haven't read the first two, and while the story did more or less stand alone, I think that reading the books in order would definitely have enhanced the experience. The police characters were all rather interchangeable and flat, with the exception of Connie who had the distinction of also being unlikable.
The plot was pretty standard for the genre, with the twist, if you could all it that, coming in the last few minutes. If it was a physical book, I think I would have hurled it across the room, it was that frustrating.
The narrator did a good job.
I listened to this because the next book in the series looked interesting. I will give it a try, but after this, I'm tempering my expectations.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
