About this listen

When lawyer Jenny Cooper is appointed Severn Vale District Coroner, she’s hoping for a quiet life and space to recover from a traumatic divorce. But the office she inherits from the recently deceased Harry Marshall contains neglected files hiding dark secrets and a trail of buried evidence.

Could the tragic death in custody of a young boy be linked to the apparent suicide of a teenage prostitute and the fate of Marshall himself? Jenny’s curiosity is aroused. Why was Marshall behaving so strangely before he died? What injustice was he planning to uncover? And what caused his abrupt change of heart?

I really enjoyed the story and the investigation into the causes of death.

The narrator was excellent with most character voices but I didn't like the derogatory voice she used for the young man with the lisp, it almost sounded mockingly.

I don't think I'll carry on with the series, I think I'd have preferred to have heard less about the main character and the medication she was taking.

Good story but....

The book was most enjoyable. Well written and constructed . A very believable story with a little too much focus on the drug dependency of the main character . Overall a very good read. I will look for other titles written by the same author .

Well constructed story

I found this a bit longer than it needed to be with much of the story so obviously sign-posted and other parts totally far-fetched. Nothing new to recommend this book. Narrator did a reasonable job with the weak material.

Nothing special. No surprises.
