About this listen
Lost and Never Found is a novel that shows Simon Mason taking his Oxford crime series to a new level of accomplishment.
Oxford, city of rich and poor, where the homeless camp out in the shadows of the gorgeous buildings and monuments. A city of lost things - and buried crimes.
At three o'clock in the morning, Emergency receives a call. 'This is Zara Fanshawe. Always lost and never found.' An hour later, the wayward celebrity's Rolls Royce Phantom is found abandoned in dingy Becket Street. The paparazzi go wild.
For some reason, news of Zara's disappearance prompts homeless woman Lena Wójcik to search the camps, nervously, for the bad-tempered vagrant known as 'Waitrose', a familiar sight in Oxford pushing his trolley of possessions. But he's nowhere to be found either.
Who will lead the investigation and cope with the media frenzy? Suave, prize-winning, Oxford-educated DI Ray Wilkins is passed over in favour of his partner, gobby, trailer-park educated DI Ryan Wilkins (no relation). You wouldn't think Ray would be happy. He isn't. You wouldn't think Ryan would be any good at national press presentations. He isn't.
And when legendary cop Chester Lynch (Black female Deputy Chief Constable from the wrong side of the tracks) takes a shine to Ray - and takes against Ryan - things are only going to get even messier.

Ryan is the best DI ever...
Ryan wins best DI in a crime series by a mile. Matt Addis wins best narration of two leading characters (Ray and Ryan -- superb contrast!) on Audible. Wow -- this is such an enjoyable series!
i like the way that Simon Mason flips stereotypes -- black female DCC who embodies power vs white male trailer park kid at the bottom of the pile. The only feature that is a bit 2-dimensional is the trope of the hysterical bullying boss. Surely the police (after so many inquiries!) have started to send managers on courses where they learn to relate to underlings as humans??! Sadly, the new generation boss introduced at the end seems like more of the same in a slicker package. i guess Simon would argue that they're just foils for the beleaguered DIs, introducing a bit of dramatic friction -- but i just wish someone would look after Ryan properly!

A Cracker of a book
This series just continues to get better. Ryan & Ray are the best of the ‘odd couple’ of partners. Fantastic narration.

Narrator's croaky voice was distracting.
The story was definitely up to the standard of the previous two, but the voice of the narrator sounds positively damaged. It really detracted from the enjoyment of listening.
