About this listen

A CHILLING NORFOLK BROADS CRIME THRILLER!

A haunted crypt, a bullied boy, and an artist’s will: a benevolent gesture or a satanic curse?

When the body of a local artist is found mutilated inside a five-pointed star, DCI Tanner’s attention turns to the disciples of a Satanic cult. But when the man's body is discovered to be the cult’s leader, Tanner's interest is soon drawn to his will, and the five beneficiaries who’ve been named in it.

Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a dark cozy Norfolk murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance, one that will have you guessing until the very end, when the last shocking twist is finally revealed.

The Bastwick Testament is a totally addictive gripping crime thriller, the twelth in a chilling series of serial killer books, ones which will rapidly convert followers of L J Ross, Faith Martin, Joy Ellis, Damien Boyd, J M Dalgliesh, and Elly Griffiths into David Blake devotees.

Another brilliant book in this series. The story, set in the run up to Christmas, was interesting and very twisty. As always there is plenty of humour. The ending took me completely by surprise, which doesn't happen very often, so bravo Mr Blake!

When I heard that this book had a different narrator to the previous books in the series I was horrified. . After all, Jonathan Keeble is a hard act to follow.. But Peter Wicks did a fantastic job. The voices he gave to the main characters were similar to Keeble's so I soon got used to the new narrator..

A surprise ending

As much as I enjoyed the story, and love the characters, why change the narrator ??! Jonathan Keeble is one of my favourite narrator’s and the reason I listen to some series.

Another good Tanner story .

I didn’t enjoy the new narration and just couldn’t get into the book at all, it was like. Starting a new series. Very disappointed with the book

New narrator, gave totally different feel to all the characters, please bring Jonathan Keeble back

I've enjoyed listening to all the books in the series. As much as the narrator Peter Wicks read it well he wasn't the same as Jonathan Keeble I'm sorry to say. I've got used to how the characters sound so kept getting lost at who was who.
The storyline was great as usual

Enjoyable listen again
