À propos de cet audio

To find a murderer, you need a motive . . .

THE DETECTIVE

DS George Cross has always wondered why his mother left him when he was a child. Now she is back in his life, he suddenly has answers. But this unexpected reunion is not anything he's used to dealing with. When a disturbing case lands on his desk, he is almost thankful for the return to normality.

THE QUESTION

The body of a monk is found savagely beaten to death in a woodland near Bristol. Nothing is known about Brother Dominic's past, which makes investigating difficult. How can Cross unpick a crime when they don't know anything about the victim? And why would someone want to harm a monk?

THE PAST

Discovering who Brother Dominic once was only makes the picture more puzzling. He was a much-loved and respected friend, brother, son—he had no enemies. Or, at least, none that are obvious. But looking into his past reveals that he was a very wealthy man, that he sacrificed it all for his faith. For a man who has nothing, it seems strange that greed could be the motive for his murder. But greed is a sin after all . . .

It is a bit unbelievable, to be honest (who the killer was; how the killing was carried out; the almost untraceable identity of the monk in an earlier life) but this was still an enjoyable story and it was enlightening seeing George Cross's personality developing more and more. I am with the previous reviewer, Fiona Poole, about the mispronunciation of "Benedictine". It was actually quite jarring every time I heard it and I was surprised that anyone literate, anyone who is a book narrator wouldn't either KNOW this or at least check to find out...

A fascinating story

Dear Finlay Robertson…..please please please look up the correct pronunciation of Benedictine. It is NOT Benedictyne.
