Story
A young detective is out for a jog on a snowy winter morning. Then she sees something terrible: a murder in the park, sudden and inexplicable. A woman has been killed by a passing hooded cyclist. It’s just DCI Craig Gillard’s luck that he’s on duty. The body is that of Tanvi Roy, one of the richest women in Britain and matriarch of a food empire. With a tangled web of family and business contacts and jealousies, Gillard’s job just got even more complex. As he delves deeper into the Roy family, it’s clear that everything is not as it seems.

Promising architect Peter Young is shot dead at his desk. DCI Craig Gillard is on the scene, looking at what appears to be a brutal and highly professional hit: two bullets, fired with ice-cold calm. Gillard knows that the most crucial question in solving the crime is one word: why? Two weeks later, on the Lincolnshire coast, another body is found on a windswept beach. In this case there is no identity for the young man, just a curious brand burned into his neck....

DCI Craig Gillard will be pushed to his limits. But will he break? It seems like a routine disappearance, a case of musician’s stage fright. As a senior detective, Craig Gillard isn’t sure why he’s even involved. Until it turns out the woman’s father is the German minister of justice, and the British home secretary is on the case, too. But nothing about the case is simple. How does a woman on a train simply vanish? What do you do when a trail runs cold and the pressure is on? Before long the perpetrator has another target: DCI Gillard himself.

Late on midsummer's night there is a splash in the river Thames. A body is found on an island, asphyxiated and laced with strange markings. For DCI Craig Gillard it's a baffling case. The victim's identity is elusive, clues are scarce and every witness has something to hide. Meanwhile one of Britain's deadliest serial killers is finally up for parole after a deal to reveal the location of two missing bodies. The felon has his own plans to get even with witnesses, accusers and the officer who caught him 30 years before. And who was that? A young trainee by the name of Gillard.

Story
A large country mansion. A locked room. A gruesome murder. Russian oligarch Alexander Volkov has invited 1,000 guests to a party at his palatial Surrey residence, Westgrave Hall. But while giving a private tour of the library, a gunman kills Volkov, wounding his ex-wife and slaying her new beau. Nothing makes sense to DCI Craig Gillard. In the blood-spattered crime scene there are no forensic traces of anyone else involved, CCTV shows no one entered or left the library, and everyone seems to have an alibi.

But then an X-ray of the corpse throws the investigation into turmoil. The deeper Gillard digs, the more shocking truths he will uncover.

The culprit is nowhere to be found - and the victim’s priceless violin has disappeared too.

But the secrets will soon take centre stage.

Publisher's Summary
From master storyteller Nick Louth comes the third installment in the DCI Craig Gillard series. Perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Angela Marsons and Faith Martin.
A body is found on a quiet lane in Exmoor, victim of a hit and run.
He has no ID, no wallet, no phone, and - after being dragged along the road - no recognisable face.
Meanwhile, fresh from his last case, DCI Craig Gillard is unexpectedly called away to Devon on family business. Gillard is soon embroiled when the car in question is traced to his aunt.
As he delves deeper, a dark mystery reveals itself, haunted by family secrets, with repercussions Gillard could never have imagined. The past has never been deadlier.

Compelling Mystery with Plot Twists to the End
I have read all 3 Nick Louth novels featuring DCI Craig Gillard - and the character development has been excellent. This time, Craig has to revisit his past and untangle a web of lies and deceit. I found it interesting, easy to listen to and had it in my ear buds, in the car, or on my wifi speaker constantly. Looking forward to book 4.

Unbelievably Sexist; Wife Suddenly Stupid and Naive
I liked the 1st two books in this series. Part of why I did so was the character who became the DI’s wife; she was smart, world-wise, and wouldn’t stand for crappy treatment.
THEN, in THIS BOOK, her character is the opposite! This woman no longer has any power of deduction (to such an extent that she doesn’t understand what is meant, when someone else’s deductive steps are recounted to her); is mind-bogglingly naive, and is incapable of standing up for herself, even when dealing with a sexual predator.
The main and overall plot of this book would have been just fine; there was NO need to change this woman’s character into a stereotypical, idiotic female. SHAME on NICK LOUTH.

Very good book; horrible recording
This was another really good book by Nick Louth. Unfortunately the recording was awful. There was an intermittent snap, crackle and pop noise in the background. It’s a testament to how good the book was that I didn’t return it.

Best of the series - when I could hear it
Not crazy about the narrator - he makes Sam sounds like a dimwit - but mostly not crazy about the low volume of the recording itself. If I was in traffic (windows closed) or walked away from the player at home, I had to rewind to hear what I missed. The book itself is terrific. Big improvement over the second one.

Great Series
This is the third book in the series. I have listened to all three of them , and I am certainly going to buy the others in the series . The novels are expertly written and well plotted. The listener gets a good sense of locale, with characters well developed. Refreshingly, the author doesn’t feel the need to use foul language to get his points across. While not exactly cozy mysteries, there is no gratuitous violence and no overly gory descriptions of dead bodies. These police procedurals are credible with likable characters.
Marston York was outstanding with the delivery of the story

The Sins of the Fathers Visited on the Children
This story is about families in which each generation carries scars from the generations that lived before them; and these scars cause great damage.
Ultimately the twisted perceptions of the wounded leads to murder and cover ups.
Nick Louth cleverly leads his reader to very viable suspects each of which is gradually shown to be innocent.
The final solution is not complete, leaving more possibilities running through the readers' mind.....

Depressing, horrible ending
The speed and narration on my download were fine, so I did not encounter the problems of other reviewers. The story, however, was interesting for two thirds of the book. The ending was so horrible I do not plan on continuing with this series if there is another book.. To say more would have to include spoilers. If you liked the first two books, you may want to read this edition and make up your own mind.

Best book in the series so far.
I really enjoyed this book. The previous two in the series were both excellent, but to me, this one takes it to a new level. It delves into Gillard's twisted family background with two Aunts who are very different, but equally disturbing to be around. The book also develops his wife Sam into a much fuller character and the mysteries are all interesting to follow. The end may not satisfy those who want perfect closure, but to me it sets up a hopefully interesting start to the next book
Marston York is fast becoming one of my favorite readers. He does voices and accents very well.
