Publisher's Summary

Two weeks of rest and recuperation - that's what the doctor ordered. Detective Sergeant DC Smith could listen to some music, make some of his own, and maybe even catch up on his reading; he is almost looking forward to it. And then there is a knock on the door. It's only his next-door neighbor, but it is the beginning of a sequence of events that will bring him face to face with some of the darkest episodes and the most dangerous people from his own past. This is Smith's fifth investigation, but this time it's personal.

Great read!

My absolute favourite of the DC Smith novels. I loved delving into DC’s past life. Gripping storyline as well - found this one unputdownable!

My Favourite

I loved every minute of this Peter Grainger book. The DC Smith stories are wonderful - my only regret is that I only have a few left. Gildhart Jackson is an amazing narrator.

Loved this novel.

From someone who never really new much, about the Catholic/Protestant horror story in Ireland, this book provided some history into the struggles. The story was wonderful, suspenseful and intriguing. A beautiful love story, that was never meant to be!

Another fine listen in a great series

Thanks Peter Grainger for the writing and to Gildart Jackson for making DC Smith come to life, This is a great series - crime, interesting contexts and compassion in the same well-written package. I am hooked.

Smart, witty, fun

An excellent detective story which brings alive the subtler parts of an investigation that are so often omitted from this genre. This book is part of the series, but it reads well as a standalone. Fun listen from start to finish.

Another fantastic book!

Lots of heart in this book, but not so much as to lose track of the plot and humour loved it

Another Great Addition to the DC Smith Series.

Even if you don't like detective stories, you can appreciate and enjoy this author. One of the great pleasures of this series is the growing fondness for DC Smith, and the character development in this book made it my favourite of the series. Although every book is a stand-alone, starting at the beginning will make each one more enjoyable than the last, and leave you longing for more!
