Histoire
Detective Sergeant Chris Waters got the call at 05.29 that July morning. This is it, said DCI Reeve, you'll be first there, it's all yours, you're the crime scene manager. Suddenly, after months of waiting and wondering, Waters finds himself in at the deep end, and alone at the scene of a puzzling murder. As the investigation proceeds, the detectives at Kings Lake Central find themselves visiting familiar places and talking to some familiar faces, while old enmities reappear in the incident room. Before this is over, Chris Waters will need to make a career-changing decision.

Histoire
When Matt Ballard was starting out his career, three boys were murdered in the same area, the remote and bleak Gibbet Fen. When the main suspect was killed in a hit-and-run, the killings stopped. But Matt was not satisfied that the real murderer had been caught. Over 25 years later, Matt gets a photo in an unmarked envelope. It's of the Gibbet Fen crime scene. And the picture was taken before the murder took place. More photos arrive, relating to the historic murders, as well as intimate pictures of Matt's very secret private life.

Description
The story opens with the apparently accidental drowning of a sixth form student in the Norfolk countryside. As a matter of routine, or so it seems, the case passes across the desk of Detective Sergeant Smith, recently returned to work after an internal investigation into another case that has led to tensions between officers at Kings Lake police headquarters. As an ex-DCI, Smith could have retired by now, and it is clear that some of his superiors wish that he would do so. The latest trainee detective to work with him is the son of a member of his former team, and together they begin to unravel the truth about what happened to Wayne Fletcher. As the investigation proceeds, it becomes clear that others are involved - some seem determined to prevent it, some seem to be taking too much interest. In the end, Smith operates alone, having stepped too far outside standard procedures to ask for support. He knows that his own life might be at risk but he has not calculated on the life of his young assistant also being put in danger.

Masterful Storytelling
In today’s celluloid world of storytelling script writers make the terrible mistake of pandering to a supposed unintelligent audience. Here, Mr. Grainger carries his audience into the world of how simple clarity of story coupled with the rich multi-layered of characters allows us to artfully become a part of the journey. Mr. Jackson’s performance brings to life the main character in such a fashion that this reader felt a long lost friend finally returned. Never missing the opportunity to react to a a crisis or or the differences in each of us there is a fragility in everyone. Mr. Grainger never missed the opportunity to express this. Just brilliant! In the horrors the globe is enduring right now AUDIBLE.ca grants everyone who partakes an escape we all well need! Thank you!

A clever, humorous and well written procedural
I really enjoyed this book, along with other Peter Grainger works. The writing is literate with much humour, which makes the reading/listening flow effortlessly. Character development is top notch.
Gildart Jackson does an excellent job narrating.

The narrator is amazing!
The narrator creates a whole new dimension to the book! He makes the British humor so much funnier than in my head. I'm not sure I would've enjoy reading the book as much as I did listening to it.

Good start for a series
I loved this book. The story was clear, and the narrator was very good. I will certainly get the second book in this series.

Television Screenplay-Quality Procedural
Comparisons to BBC's 'Inspector Morse' or 'A Touch Of Frost' are spot-on. Peter Grainger's Norfolk ("King's Lake") Detective Sergeant David "DC" Smith - along with protégé DC Chris Waters - tackles a seemingly straightforward death inquest after a young college student is found drowned after apparently taking an ill-advised drunken swim. Capitalizing on suspicion, experience, and unmatched intuition, the two employ workmanlike investigation (interviews, stakeouts, etc.) to uncover a more-than-it-seems murder plot.
Grainger's characters are interesting, the dialogue is relatively lighthearted & full of humor, and the author adheres to a committment to PG-13 sensibilities (expect no sex, gore, or expletives here).
This first entry in a Netflix binge-worthy series is intermediate between "Cozy" and "Contemporary". It's perhaps a little too vanilla for me.. but undeniably entertaining.
Doubtless contributing to my largely favorable impression of the book is far above-average narration from Gildart Jackson. Mr. Jackson's professional diction/enunciation, easy-to-consume (for hours) timbre & cadence, and peerless voice-acting are matched with a pitch-perfect serious-not serious tone.
Altogether, 'An Accidental Death' is a bit too milquetoast for my personal Mystery genre tastes.. but the 7/10-star offering is absolutely worth a download if you can get it as a 'Plus' selection (good enough for me to try other likewise "free" audiobooks in the 'DC Smith' collection, for example). If they ask for a Credit, however, I suggest spending it elsewhere.
[Incidentally: the "old hand mentors the rookie" storytelling technique works absolutely brilliantly (readers learn techniques right along with new detective 'Waters'). More mystery writers should use it]

pretty good
Second listen, better than I remembered. A solid procedural, with likable characters who are decidedly not messy mavericks. Not strictly rigid, by-the-book, either, but still- the protagonist was fairly well adjusted and respects the laws he is sworn to uphold. Which is a nice change of pace for me.
Weirdly, I've read a number of mysteries involving the oddly specific plot young person dying or disappearing while boating on a canal. No, really. I actually had this one confused with another when I started listening, but then I remembered, oh, no, this is the one that... It went in an unexpected direction, and I appreciated that. Rather than spoiled, amoral kids taking out one of the weaker of their number (and I'm not kidding, at least two other books have that plot!) this takes a rather more tragic and certainly more interesting turn.
I liked it. I'm not sure about the type of humor employed throughout but I still enjoyed it.

Genuine Surprise
As you may guess, I am New to 'D.C. Smith', etc al., and the series. I am enjoying the quiet humour and scope of Detective stories from across the ocean. The stories exist in countries close to you, whereas, being in Canada, our major influence is USA and less subtle, and much more bloody. Looking forward to Book 2.
