About this listen

The Silent Quarry is the first audiobook in a series of murder mysteries featuring the perceptive but reclusive and love-shy detective DI Winter Meadows.

One morning, Gwen Thomas takes a short walk with her Siberian husky in the outskirts of the Welsh town she calls home. She is drawn to a desolate area where, some 20 years ago as a teenager, she was brutally attacked and her friend killed. Disorientated by a sudden rush of memories, she has a fall. Later, recovering in hospital, she begins to recollect the events that led up to her friend’s death.

DI Winter Meadows is encouraged to reopen what has for some time been a cold case. If Gwen can remember who attacked her, it could lead to a prosecution. But not everyone wants Gwen to recover her memory. Having got over her fall, she now faces a greater danger - from whoever else knows what actually happened.

i discovered this through the narrator, having heard him read another series.

Surprised there aren't more reviews for this book/series as the stories are great. Love the Welsh setting.

i also enjoy the fact that the characters are fairly low key and don't get in the way of the story propulsion. No pointless arguments with bosses or self destructive bing drinking -- just a mild mannered, weed smoking DI who gets on with the job.

Really enjoyable and well read

The plot is good, the writing not so much. The story was quite cringey at times! Narrator was ok tho.

A bit disappointing

Enjoyed this book. I’ve read a few awful books lately and left appropriate reviews. This however I found well written and enjoyed the narrative of both reader and writer. Will be read another in the series.
