About this listen

 A woman vanishes in the fog up on "the Hill", an area locally known for its tranquillity and peace. The police are not alarmed; people usually disappear for their own reasons. But when a young girl, an old man, and even a dog disappear, no one can deny that something untoward is happening in this quiet cathedral town. Young policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case; she's new to the job, compassionate, inquisitive, dedicated, and needs to know, perhaps, too much. She and the enigmatic detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler have the task of unravelling the mystery behind this gruesome sequence of events. From the passages revealing the killer's mind to the final heart-stopping twist, The Various Haunts of Men is an astounding and masterly crime debut and is the first in what promises to be a magnificent series featuring Simon Serrailler.©2004 Susan Hill (P)2014 Audible, Inc.

I really did not expect this...

This book was well written, there were many characters, all of them very different and very well described which is not that often the case in suspense / murder novels. It helped this reader keep engaged in the story.

Of course the author gives us the culprit near the end, but nonetheless I was not at all expecting the way this book ended, which was different from any other suspense I ever read (but I have not read that many suspense books).

I chose to listen to this audio book after reading a review by Barbara on Goodreads and I am so grateful to her for her review because now I have a whole new series to listen to on audio books.

I can only say I will definitely have to read the next book in the series, to get to know more about Simon Serrailler. The end of this book left me wondering about him... maybe the man has a heart after all.
