Description

When 14-year-old Zoe Johnson doesn't come home on a Monday night in early December, the alarm bells in Kings Lake Central police station do not ring straight away - after all, she's from the Dockmills, one of the toughest estates in the town. 

But for Detective Sergeant DC Smith, due to retire in just three weeks' time, there are some strange echoes of the case that has haunted him for the past 13 years. Maybe it's simply his over-developed sense of irony, or maybe, in his final days as a police officer, Smith must look once more into the eyes of a serial killer.

Sorry this is the last book

I have loved this series so much. Narration was perfect the characters and character development was wonderful and the cases were interesting and kept me hooked. I’d be more upset with the degree of unknown at the conclusion if I hadn’t started this whole adventure with the next book (in the follow up series). 😉. Great author I’m so glad I found Peter Grainger!!

DCSmith struggles with his inner voice

The ending did not suit dcsmith's experience & logic, but everyone makes mistakes. A good message for anyone facing retirement. Extremely entertaining series. i loved it!

Excellent again.

The plot, character development and narration were all superb. Peter Grainger is my got to for British police procedurals. He is in a class of his own.

Another Peter Granger wonder

Brilliant story left me speechless and frantically searching the library for the next one. A very wry sense of humour always good in a mystery. Listening to the next one now!

Did not finish - too slow

Maybe because I’m not familiar with this author and the way they write their novels but unlike reviewers that seem to have all read all eight novels I’m struggling to finish this book I have five hours left and it seems very boring to me. I almost feel like I need to have read the previous novels in the series to grasp the writing style and how the books progressed and DC smith’s character.

As it seems from this book, There seems to be a tug-of-war between the new lead and the retiree detective Smith and for whatever reason so much of the chapter is focussed on that relationship and how the team gels and how Smith would handle the investigation versus how the new guy is handling the investigation and a minute part is dedicated to the actual crime.

If you like murder mysteries and your focus is more on the interactions between the police officers and what happens at the station and their thought process as to how they figure out who does what when a crime happens then this book seems more geared towards you; if you like more focussed on the crime and solving the crime and eliminating people so that you can figure out who actually did the crime this is not a book for you. It is not fast paced in the least it literally is like watching a detective show where the crime happens but most of the time the focus is on the Precinct rather than you know the murderer is committing crimes and you’re trying to find the murderer before they commit another one.

Very well written and narrated.

A good story witha a good twist at the end. If you have read the rest of the series in order you cannot fail to be moved by it. Sentimental in places but never mawkish. Grainger obviously knows this world from the inside,, if he goes a little overboard on the procedurals in places , for me it added to the charm.

Intelligent, Insightful, Suspenseful, Addicting

I have now listened to 8 of the DC Smith Series. I started because they were included books, and I hit the jackpot. I'd never read anything by Peter Grainger and I was catching up, listening until I was finished with Book 8. I just purchased Book 9 before writing this. I've recently listened to a superb selection of books, and this Series is at the top of the list. The writing is unusual to me. It's like shadowing a person on the inside and the outside. I suspect few writers can emulate this style. My words are not adequate to describe the great enjoyment I had listening to these stories with it's insights from various points of view and the ironies that appear daily in any situation when you are aware. How important self-knowlege is, So, don't read my very boring review of such a brilliant, unboring, addictive set of stories that is somehow beyond me to adequately describe. I loved, loved, loved it.
