About this listen
A missing child's body is found on the edge of the Peak District. As DCI Kenny Murrain and his team investigate, more attempted child abductions are reported. Murrain's instincts tell him this is a community with secrets, and those secrets have their roots deep in the past.
Unexpected connections surface as he uncovers mysteries long buried. A motorcycle accident in the nearby hills. The unexplained death of a local prison governor. And a high-profile child killing two decades before. Then another child goes missing, and Murrain and his team must race to identify the killer before the past catches up with them and it's too late....

Sleepless
Enjoyed the 2 nd book by this author very much. Narration easy to listen to and even though characterisations are not as depicted as colourfully compared to other narrators the book is still enjoyable , easy to listen to and be kept awake by. 😳

Suggestion: Change app playback speed to 1.2x
I'm about to start Book 3, which means they have staying power - if patchy. I'll write a more detailed review then.
I've seen people criticize the narrator for reading in a monotone, not much character, etc.
That did not bother me - I'd rather have a monotonic narrator than one over the top with accents, or who gets accents wrong, or tries to do male/female voices, and generally messes up.
That type of narration gets in the way too much, and I drop those books, even when have paid for them. (Love the Plus catalogue!)
However - I did find Wagland's pace much too slow (and that's bad production, not bad narration).
And then, about 20 minutes into Book 1, I remembered that the Audible app has a wonderful speed control.
So I changed the speed to 1.2 X normal speed.
Perfect.
You cannot go much beyond that because speed controls are not "intelligent". They will shorten the gaps between sentences too, so above 1.2 it gets just too rapid-paced for comfort.
1.2 times normal speed allowed me to enjoy the book.
I just wish Wagland's elocution teacher had got him out of the unfortunate habit of adding an R sound where it should not be: like "rohr" for "raw". Sigh.

Worth a listen
I am enjoying the story lines although occasional patches of long explanations. It is sometimes hard to separate characters conversations as narrator does not provide much vocal characterisation

Great twist
Really enjoyed listening to this novel, took me a little time to get to know the characters and where the story was going but when it all clicked I was hooked

Second serving doesn’t disappoint
Good story and easy to listen to. The pace drops off a bit in the middle but the outcome is ultimately satisfying. Good enough to give book 3 in the series a try.

Well worth a listen
I rated this 1 star less than the first book which I loved. Still enjoyed this one, although a little less engaging. I will be straight onto number 3 as I love the characters and the narration.
