Description
The most chilling listen of Christmas 2020
As the snow begins to fall, the body count begins to climb....
DI James Walker is ready for a quiet family Christmas in the sleepy village of Kirkby Abbey.
But when he opens an early Christmas present left on his doorstep, he soon realises it is no gift. Inside is a gruesome surprise and a promise - 12 days, 12 murders. Not long after, the first body is found, half frozen in the snow.
As the blizzards descend, panic spreads through the remote Cumbrian village - there’s a killer amongst them, and with 11 more victims to go, anyone could be next....
Can James stop the killer before they strike again?
The first in a new series, Alex Pine has written a dark, atmospheric crime novel, set in a snowed-in Cumbrian village, for fans of Val McDermid, Ross Greenwood and LJ Ross.

not the greatest
I had the killer pegged from their introduction and it ruined it for me. It was so obvious and they were such a strawman of a character.
It wasn't a terrible book, but it wasn't good. Thin characters, thin mystery, and writing that could use another edit. (The author used "the guy" a lot, and it seemed out of place and distracting, for a classical style village mystery.)

Not bad, not great
The actual plot is pretty good. I like a good procedural. The procedure, however, needs to be balanced with the characters, especially if it’s going to be a series. This was a little too much procedure, not enough character. I found the two main characters, DI Walker & his wife, pretty dull. The wife is too skittish. And, Walker kind of falls into the answer rather than really figuring out what’s going on. If I get into a series, it’s because I’m invested in the characters. These two haven’t done it.
Narrator was fine, not great. Pleasant voice and could tell the characters apart, But didn’t convey suspense when it was called for.

Nothing new, but well written
As mysteries go, very predictable. But the characters are decent and well written. If the sequel books go on sale I'll probably get them.

Don't listen if you don't like mouth sounds.
I don't believe it's the narrator’s fault I think post-production is to blame. Either way I couldn't get past that. Even if the story was better I don't think I could rate this any higher.

Horrible
The story as really quite bad but the narration took it to another level. Talk about monotone! Not sure if another narrator could have saved this story but this one really didn’t help it in any way. There were so many times I wanted to quit but I’m not a quitter.
