Description

"And see if there's any news about the missing girl."

Life, as Smith used to say, is just one thing after another - as one investigation ends, a new one begins. But for reasons unknown to the rest of her team, DCI Cara Freeman will be haunted by the next case for the Kings Lake Central murder squad. They find themselves delving into the seamy side of life in the town, and one of their number will have departed before this new investigation is over. Perhaps Detective Sergeant Chris Waters should have seen it coming, but he has a lot more than work on his mind these days.

A superbly narrated, top-notch police procedural

If you enjoy reading novels authored by a superb writer...don’t miss this series, nor the D.C. Investigate series that precedes the Kings Lake series. Mr. Grainger combines his knowledge of police hierarchy and politics, his understanding of how relationships and teams work, and his knowledge of the area in which his novels are set, to bring the reader top notch police procedurals.
Mr. Grainger delivers a first-class read and, as always, the Audible version is beautifully narrated by Gildart Jackson. I’m a dyed-in-the wool fan of both. Each novel not only contains an excellent, well plotted, murder mystery, but continues to give the reader more insight into his fascinating and diverse cast of characters. Mr. Granger’s character building and development has been top-notch from book one, and this continues in Roxanne as the reader is treated to more insights in the personal lives of principal characters. He makes us see his characters as real, with real-life problems, even as we watch them grow into their strengths.
The specialist Murder Squad continues to develop tight working bonds and its members are learning quickly how best to work together as a team under DCI Freeman’s leadership style. Roxanne has some very tense moments and some unexpected twists. As always, there are moments of subtle humour that are scattered throughout all of Mr. Grainer’s work.
I have no hesitation in recommending Roxanne. The novels in the series are both a continuing story and stand-alone mysteries. If you haven’t read the series from Book 1, I definitely suggest you should.

Dreary.

Disappointing. The humour was conspicuous in its absence. So much could have been done with the Waters issue but Grainger backed away in favor of yet more safe sappy backstories. Time to rescue Smith from the crashing boredom of his marriage long enough to talk Waters out of what is leading up to an even duller one. I read procedurals because I like them. I loved the DC Smith series but since Smith left , King's Lake seems to have lost its way. I swear the narrator misses the Smith..Waters dynamic as much as I do.

Plenty of twists and turns.

Kudos to the gentleman that is the narrator of this book. It didn’t take me too long to figure out the villains in this book, which is in itself an anomaly for me. However, just listening and trying to anticipate how it would tie in, kept me interested.
I do have a few favourite police characters in the series. However, there are a few, if I could reach into the book and give them a boot in the rear, I would.
Can’t wait for the next!

Wow, loved this book.

I love all of Peter Grainger’s books, but this one seemed to Wow me. I love the little bits of humour and how he draws the personality and thought processes out of his characters. Narrator Gildart Jackson is fabulous as always.
Thanks for another fantastic audio book.

I can’t get enough of these books. Twists and turns until the end and the villain is revealed. A terrific read.

Another 5 star book by P. G.

Peter Grainger is my newest find and I can’t believe it took me this long to find such an excellent detective series. He weaves the story together brilliantly. Picking up a thread here and there from past books so intricately. He brings tenderness to his detectives when least expected. Read the DC Smith series and then the King’s Lake series. Then read them all again. They do not disappoint.

Good Story; Adequate Narration

Jackson can be good but too often slips into “bad actor” mode. Doesn’t always get in the way but I wish he wasn’t so over dramatic at times.

The story was good.

Compelling story, well read

Another fabulous tale from King's Lake. Grainger is a master and Jackson brings the characters to life with humour and empathy. It is nice that Smith still puts in an appearance too.

Usual very good quality story; mainly usually great narration

Don’t know why, but the narrator’s attempt at a Somalian accent sounds an awful lot like an Eastern European accent. Not like an actual Somalian accent.
