About this listen
His best friend has been murdered, his daughter's in danger.
There's only one answer. Going back to his old life.
The one that cost him his wife…
Michael Brady was a high-flying detective, working on a high-profile case.
And much too close to the truth.
Someone arranged a hit-and-run.
But they missed Brady. And hit his wife.
And after six months sitting by her bed, he took the only decision he could take. He turned the machine off.
Now he's back home in Whitby. Trying to rebuild his life. And be a good dad to his teenage daughter.
But when his best friend is murdered Brady–unwillingly at first–is drawn into the investigation.
And when the only people he has left are threatened, he finds there's only one answer.
Going back to his old life…
Salt in the Wounds is the first novel from award winning writer and blogger Mark Richards. It's set in Whitby, on the North Yorkshire coast, and tells the story of former Detective Inspector Michael Brady. His wife's dead and he's back in his home town–trying to rebuild his life and be a good dad to his 13 year old daughter.

Another limp protagonist
Okay, so there might be effective cops who see physical force as a last resort and even then show reluctance to use it. What I can't stand, however, is a cop who can't see an attack coming and presents himself like a gift to the bad guy at every opportunity. This Brady guy is surprised every time that the bad guy, a hired enforcer with army training, wants to hurt him and will do so with no compunction. And in this book he can't even wave his cop badge as a deterrent. He thinks slightingly of Jack Reacher, but misses the main reason for Reacher's survival - that he has a brain and eyes and uses them. Old dozy Brady here concludes the book with a flimsy, half-baked plan that depends on so much luck that no rational person would expect success. That's fine if he has a deathwish, and maybe he does as he's grieving his wife, but when he involves others and they end up brutalised it's not the kind of book I want to read.

Crime meets the seaside
I persevered to the end but I didn't find this particularly gripping. Quite formulaic and full of tropes.

Short of its full potential
Good story. Characters lack depth. Felt like there must be an earlier book that gave more background.

Great story, although I did occasionally get a bit confused with so many characters
Great characters and I enjoyed the dad/daughter relationship. I did sometimes find it confusing when the narrative talked about the (newly realised) connection between some of the characters which then got explained later as Mark was talking to the fish shop guy for example. I thought I'd tuned out earlier and missed thing but realised I probably hadn't.

Characters and narrator
I thought it was a good story, and I liked the way the narrator Used different voices. The description of the daughter and her attitude was perfect. Loved everything about it.
