Wonderful narrator.
I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this audiobook. The tale itself was engaging, with a few twists and turns but none of the jarring disconnects or wtf moments we find in so many modern detective novels these days. What really made it for me was the narrator's effortless rendition of the various accents. These added a lot to my comprehension of the characters and their motivations. As a Southerner I know what it's like dealing with prejudices based on one's speech patterns (accent). This narrator slipped from one English dialect to another, conveying the class and regional differences. I enjoyed every minute and was sad to see the book end.

Enjoyable British murder mystery
Not your average British police procedural. The reader is lovely with his rural accent for the policeman and you are able to distinguish the various characters as he reads. There is a minimal bit of romantic relationship but the characters are primarily focused on who may have killed the victim and why. I liked the in-side views of the workings of a police station. The ending was satisfying and I never wished the book would hurry up to get to the end.
