Publisher's Summary
When Nigel Baxter, a middle-aged married banker with an unremarkable past, is found dead in the bath of a plush hotel suite, his wrists slit, it looks as if he's taken his own life. At first. But when Detective Inspector Daniel Riley is assigned to the case, he soon realises all isn't as it first appears to be. When a postmortem shows Baxter was poisoned, Riley suspects foul play. And then there's the odd addition of a teddy bear left at the crime scene....
Struggling to come to terms with the loss of his fiancée, Rachel, in a freak motorcycle accident and the baby she was carrying inside her, Riley throws himself into the case in a bid to distract himself from his grief. And his infamous intuition is telling him something is off, really off on this one. With the help of his dedicated team, Riley begins to delve into Baxter's life and soon realises that the amenable family man has been indulging in the 'services' of some dubious websites, ones where young women hook up with older men in return for 'favours', and there's one woman in particular he'd like to speak to. A woman calling herself Goldilocks....

Good listen.
I did not like some off the subject matter, but the overall story was compelling. It showed the humanity of those who deviate from the norm. The main character, Daniel, was compassionate in his police life and struggled with grief and loss while still trying to lead a normal life. Relatable for many of us. I enjoyed the book and the voice actor. Will listen to the next one.

Entertaining detective romp. Very much nsfw and nsfchildren
I found it predictable but possibly because I have listened to so much of this genre. Excellent narration, which adds much to the rating of this. Main character is not overly likeable, which I appreciate! Sort of a standard sad-but-tough male detective trope but whatever, it’s a good work listen, especially because it’s free! NSFW AND NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN
