About this listen
Scotland Yard Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Sergeant Gemma James are sent to suburban Surrey to investigate the murder of a high-ranking police officer. Alastair Gilbert was bludgeoned to death in his kitchen, and the list of potential suspects is long--the man's arrogance earned him widespread enmity both in the village where he lived, and in police circles. But Duncan and Gemma must put aside their personal feelings--for the victim, as well as for each other--to solve the most troubling case either has faced.

Loved this book!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story, the characters and most of all, I love the English humour, the way the story travels through to a satisfying end, but then not quite!

Interesting entanglements....
The narrator does a great job with the various accents and differentiates the characters easily. The story itself is like a vine that grows up and around and through the broken pieces and brings them all together. Another great addition to the series!

DNF
I enjoyed this book for a hot minute and then a plethora of things started to niggle and my impression of the story started to plummet.
I assume Gemma and the lead detective slept together in the previous book? And this book starts the morning after? because there is this underlying tension between the two of them from the very beginning of this book and it leads the story astray. In between doing the search for clues there is a huge focus on their relationship and her irrational behaviour and anger towards him and focus on his irrational behaviour and constant longing for her so it’s very distracting .
There were so many main and revolving characters in this book that it was hard to keep track of who is who, they mention the first name of a character and I find myself wondering “who is that again?”
I started to get bored as the story dragged but kept at it until the author took the story to a moral high ground. About 3.5hours before the end of the book When a number of the characters who had items stolen go into the police station and state that they no longer wish to press charges and are willing to overlook everything that was stolen and threaten that if the detective decides to pursue prosecution of the crimes they will make false alibis claiming the thief was elsewhere and the detective does nothing but let the thief go. What??? !! I was done. What kind of ridiculousness is that? They can protect the murderer in the exact same way when they find out who the murderer is! It doesn’t matter how ghastly the victim was and how hated he was by everyone else if they’re willing to make false alibis just because they want to protect someone what’s the point of this book and who is to say that the murderer isn’t the same kid that they’re trying to protect right now?
What makes this action so ridiculous to me is the same people were willing to prosecute if it was a vagrant or someone that wasn’t from their community so if someone else is breaking and entering and stealing their stuff even if they can get the stuff back they want to prosecute but because it’s someone within their community they want you protect.
It would’ve been understandable in some sense if the fathers previous indication that the young man is a kleptomaniac was the case, but it wasn’t. The thiefs were because of a video game that he was playing so he was stealing stuff for the game that’s a crime.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the next three hours of this book culminates with the victim was killed because he either was the driver of the hit-and-run that killed the first husband or he found out who it was and they killed him and then staged it to look like a burglary gone wrong because they thought the burglar was a vagrant and the death would be written off and not solved.
