About this listen
A TERRIBLE CRIME WAITS TO BE UNEARTHED.
The second twisty and atmospheric Wiltshire-set crime novel in the DI Lockyer Series. Perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves and Val McDermid.
A long, hot summer in Wiltshire is broken by a sudden downpour. Flash floods bring something sinister to the surface - a human skeleton. When forensic testing matches the bones to a man named Lee Geary, reported missing nine years earlier, the case is passed to DI Matt Lockyer.
Geary was a known drug user, so it could be a simple case of misadventure, but Lockyer isn't so sure. Geary was a townie, and had learning disabilities, so what was he doing out on the Plain all alone? Lockyer soon learns that the year he disappeared, Geary was questioned in relation to another crime - the murder of a young woman named Holly Gilbert.
With the help of DC Gemma Broad, Lockyer begins to dig deeper, and discovers that two other persons of interest in the Holly Gilbert case have also either died or disappeared in the intervening years. A coincidence? Or a string of murders that has gone undetected for nearly a decade...?

Excellent story with twists and turns!!
Love the narrator! The main character can be at times, frustrating but the other characters in the story tell him that too! Going to look for, book 3, hope it's written!!!

Great story, best narrator
This is really good. Thought it was a bit slow initially -- compared with the first in series. But Kate Webb is able to build multiple intertwining stories with some subtlety. i love how the themes resonate across, echoing events and challenges in Lockyer's own life. The story builds really well over 13+ hours. Nice ending -- complex and believable.
i love James Lailey as a reader for this kind of book. He has a nice relaxed style which is perfect for a thoughtful detective. Nice to get away from the stereotypical hyped up, rude and on-edge types.
