Publisher's Summary

In the peace and tranquility of the woods at Pinehills on a Saturday afternoon, a mobile phone begins to ring. The phone belongs to DC Smith, and it isn't unusual that the call is from Kings Lake Central police station; what is unusual is the fact that he seems to be the subject of an investigation rather than taking part in one. What can the links be between a prisoner's violent death in another county, the disappearance of two teenagers, and the highest profile case in Kings Lake for many years? As Smith and his team begin to untangle the threads, one thing becomes clear - they are dealing with some of the most dangerous people that they have yet encountered.

I can't get through this

The narration on this is so horrific that I just cannot get through this book. It's possibly a very good book but OMFG Who picked this Narrator?
He is ruining this audible book

Well, narrated

When you have a good narrator, it makes the reading even nicer… Love the plot with all the twist and turns

Another amazing book from Peter Grainger

The underlying humour kept me chuckling while I tried to keep my focus on the complicated plot! I loved it!

Intermediate Between 'Cozy' and 'Contemporary'

This Peter Grainger mystery starts with the discovery of King's Lake Detective Sergeant David "DC" Smith's phone number on the body of a murdered prisoner and evolves organically into an intriguing investigation involving competing police forces, missing teenagers, and international drug dealing consortia.
The investigation is notably "old school": light on forensics (albeit including digital footprint data and CCTV evidence) but heavy on tried and true gumshoe techniques like intuition, observation, stakeouts, and interviews. Grainger makes brilliant use of his fascinating throwback policeman teaching what he knows to mentees like DC Chris Waters and DC Serena Butler..  delivering a capable procedural with a distinctly nostalgic feel.
The book is entirely free of sex, violence, and expletives - but still has enough realism to satisfy fans looking for sober Crime Fiction.

Doubtless, another pitch-perfect performance from Gildart Jackson adds to the enjoyability of the book, too. Tantor Audio cast these audiobooks beautifully.

'Persons Of Interest' rates 8 stars out of 10. It's capable of standing alone - but is more enjoyable if you've consumed previous episodes in the 'DC Smith' series (there are occasional references to previous investigations).
Regardless, I feel fortunate to have gotten the book as a 'Plus' selection.. because it would merit a Credit for mystery afficianados looking for something uncomplicated but grittier than what "Cozy" Mysteries can offer.

Love DC Smith stories

Persons of Interest is another Peter Grainger story about DC Smith - a quiet hero who likes to do his work his way even though it frustrates other people. Gildart Jackson is a great narrator and I really enjoy all the stories that I have listened to in this series.
