Publisher's Summary

The first shocking and exhilarating audiobook in the Edmonton Police Station thriller series...

DI Fred Fairservice has just returned from holiday when he’s confronted with several mysterious deaths; the mutilated dead body of a junkie, the apparent suicide of a housewife, and the murder of a cannibal, kicks off the strangest investigation of his dark and brutal career.

But the strangest element of the case is the connection to the deaths of several old men and women who are found with spiders placed in their mouths. Slowly it dawns on Fred that it’s all too familiar and echoes something strange and macabre that happened to him when he was a boy. It can’t be just a coincidence.

With Detective Inspector Mark South in tow, Fred has to stop the killings, solve the riddle of the spiders, and help find a missing girl called Heather - All before his bosses make him take early retirement and his violent past catches up with him. But DI Fred Fairservice has other much darker demons to deal with...

ouch

This read like a first draft by someone who didn't really know what they were getting into. The plot starts out with potential, but it just peters away. The killer is blindingly obvious from their first introduction, but the cops are shockingly ineffectual. Also, the story was generally a huge downer, with a pair of aggressively grim illness subplots.
So, the story fell flat, the writing wasn't so good, what about the narration? The worst. Comically awful and almost unlistenable. The weird part was, he was great doing different voices, but when it came to straight narration, he was genuinely bad. Listen to a clip and see for yourself.
Skip this one.
