Publisher's Summary
Alex Walters is the best-selling and critically acclaimed author of the DI Alec McKay series. Winterman is a gripping serial killer thriller which will appeal to fans of Stuart Macbride and Mark Edwards.
DI Ivan Winterman is a man with a troubled past. The Blitz has left his young son dead and his wife seriously injured. He has made enemies in high places, and, with his career going nowhere, he returns to his home town in East Anglia, seeking to rebuild his life in a country gripped by postwar austerity. As the snow begins to fall, a drunken ex-clergyman stumbles on the semi-mummified body of a small child concealed in a ruined cottage. Days later, a second child's body is found in a Fenland dyke. Winterman, supported by a small team of assorted misfits, finds himself uncovering a web of secrets in the small rural community. When a further murder victim is discovered, Winterman discovers that the secrets are darker and the threat far more immediate than he'd ever envisaged.

Ok but reservations
Gaps in the follow up of searching for evidence.
The reader had an annoying habit of quietening at the end of sentences so I was straining to hear.

Fizzler
Started well but fizzled out with an ending that left you feeling unfulfilled and disappointed and wondering why it had a 4.6 rating

Not my favourite of this author
I almost gave up several times but pushed through. It took until the middle of the book before I was completely committed. The narrator coughed once and made some other sound another time which I thought was a bit odd.

Interesting tale well read
Really well read narration save the odd mispronunciation... have heard worse .... Interesting story tho took a bit to adapt to the era... plenty of twists and turns and key characters appealing enough to keep up interest to the end

Narrator struggled.
Slurred words, failure to read punctuation, inconsistent character accents, incorrect emphasis on words and mispronounced words. At one stage I thought he was about to fall asleep. Story ok.

Enjoyable thriller
Started off a bit ho hum but by the middle of story I was hooked.
Hear a great deal of audiobook thrillers and this one heard twice from library , it was so good
The narrator I thought excellent despite previous reviews. The voice was coherent and accented well.
Overall I would like to thank all involved with the production and of course Mr Walters for an excellent thriller.

Good twisting plot, great characters
Set in post war England, the story had enough interesting characters, but sometimes a bit vague on what eventually happened to some of them. Bit disconcerting to hear mispronunciations of English words, especially Laboratory pronounced the same as Lavatory, which at first I thought that was what the narrator had said.
Overall enough human interest and storyline to keep one listening.
