À propos de cet audio

"He saw a bare arm first, the hand palm up with fingers curled inwards. Then he stopped and took a few breaths. He could hear the two constables making arrangements before they separated, one saying he'd bring the other some tape from the car, and then it was just the summer morning quiet again."

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, and another member of the CID team will find herself facing an unexpected challenge. And Smith? Gone but not forgotten? Surely, he would say, you cannot write me off with a worn-out cliche like that....

I read this the first one and it is awesome. I have read all the other books with the whole group and cried at the last one, however I cried for happy at this one……I won’t spoil it but it is great news…..the mystery is great, the characters hold you like friends and family, you will totally enjoy this.

Spectacular

Started with DC Smith series and pleased to continue with this one. Very well written and excellent character development. Narration was great - can make or break a book for me and this narrator did an excellent job.

Solid police procedural series with excellent narration

After listening to the full DC Smith series, I was delighted to find that there was a Kings Lake series! This author could write a shopping list, and make it entertaining. And the icing on the cake is Gildart Jackson's narration.

Yes!

I am a huge fan of the DC Smith series so I was hopeful that Songbird would lead into another enjoyable series. Overall, this book did not have the charm and humour that the DC Smith books have.

Not my favourite

Peter Grainger is a new author for me, but it's easy to see people are more than satisfied with his police procedural novels. I felt a bit in the dark for perhaps the first couple of hours. The time spent at the crime scene was, well, it was unusual for a reader or listener such as myself. Having heard the whole novel, I can better appreciate why: The cast of characters is perhaps a bit crowded. But you soon realize that there are no superfluous characters. I really found DS Waters a likable and interesting guy, and I definitely want to follow his career. From what I gather, he must be in Grainger's DC Smith series of books, and I may have to get one of those next time I purchase a novel by Grainger. Gildart Jackson was sensational in his reading. Male or female, he brought those characters to life. He is a pro.
Some bothers: Yes, it is a bit of a long book, and my attention did flag more than a few times, but I never felt I was missing out on something of great significance. No spoilers, but once it became evident who truly was the guilty party, I began to hope for a good twist or some eye opening reason for the crime. It doesn't occur.
The audio itself is nicely produced except for some amateur distractions - such as the narrator turning the pages of his script. And, believe it or not, a police siren is "Audible" in the background at 7:20 of chapter 41. Come on!

Impressive writing and performance.
