About this listen

"He might be a nobody, but he was their nobody and their first case."

The new Kings Lake Central murder squad is about to spend its first morning on team-building exercises and reviewing cold cases when the call comes in that the body of one of the city's rough sleepers has been found in a shop doorway. It happens, someone says, he isn't the first to die on the streets and he won't be the last, but the story the new team begins to uncover is far from routine.

New characters appear and new relationships form as the pressure grows on Detective Chief Inspector Cara Freeman to deliver a result and show that Kings Lake's first specialist team is worth the money. Detective Sergeant Christopher Waters discovers links to a previous investigation, learns that there is more than one way to run a successful squad and finds flower arranging more interesting than he would ever have imagined.

An intriguing change of pace

I really enjoyed the way the characters in this series were developed as the plot unfolded and finding out what makes people tick. The narration as always is perfect.

Love this series

The main characters are so well drawn and the narration is outstanding. The coming together of the new murder squad makes for really good anticipation of how they will work together.

Great book but a little slow

I am not sure if it was the narrator or the storyline, but I had to rewind a few times because I found my thoughts drifting off and not concentrating on the book.

The writing, storyline and narrator are all good, however.

The thing I did not like, however, was the ending. It wasn't a cliff hanger, more like the end of the chapter. It was almost like the original book was too long and so they decided to just cut it in half.

Wonderful

I am an addict of the DC Smith series, I started the first Kings Lake Investigation with trepidation but after a few pages, I realized that I was going to like this new series and the characters it introduces.

The plot, characters & narrator have all worked together to make this book an absolute pleasure !

Great characters

This is my 2nd listen in the Kingslake Series and it was another winner. I love how you get to know all the characters well when it's a series and these characters are funny and interesting. The plots are well thought out and unfold at a pace which is easy to follow. Having said that however, I didn't find the ending of this one very clear. I'm still not sure ' who did it' but maybe it was meant to end this way ?
Anyway, it won't stop me from listening to the rest of the series as I'm invested in the characters now.

Slow saga

Long drawn out saga with no satisfactory ending. Would put it at the bottom of my list.
