About this listen

From master storyteller Nick Louth comes the third installment in the DCI Craig Gillard series. Perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Angela Marsons and Faith Martin.

A body is found on a quiet lane in Exmoor, victim of a hit and run.

He has no ID, no wallet, no phone, and - after being dragged along the road - no recognisable face.

Meanwhile, fresh from his last case, DCI Craig Gillard is unexpectedly called away to Devon on family business. Gillard is soon embroiled when the car in question is traced to his aunt.

As he delves deeper, a dark mystery reveals itself, haunted by family secrets, with repercussions Gillard could never have imagined. The past has never been deadlier.

Compelling Mystery with Plot Twists to the End

I have read all 3 Nick Louth novels featuring DCI Craig Gillard - and the character development has been excellent. This time, Craig has to revisit his past and untangle a web of lies and deceit. I found it interesting, easy to listen to and had it in my ear buds, in the car, or on my wifi speaker constantly. Looking forward to book 4.

I have had some difficulty with this book. I will have to begin again.
it was complicated with so many characters and a lot of back and forth travel narrator o.k.

Unbelievably Sexist; Wife Suddenly Stupid and Naive

I liked the 1st two books in this series. Part of why I did so was the character who became the DI’s wife; she was smart, world-wise, and wouldn’t stand for crappy treatment.

THEN, in THIS BOOK, her character is the opposite! This woman no longer has any power of deduction (to such an extent that she doesn’t understand what is meant, when someone else’s deductive steps are recounted to her); is mind-bogglingly naive, and is incapable of standing up for herself, even when dealing with a sexual predator.

The main and overall plot of this book would have been just fine; there was NO need to change this woman’s character into a stereotypical, idiotic female. SHAME on NICK LOUTH.
