A killer is at work in the supposedly safe commuter belt. DCI Gillard needs answers fast....

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. As the mystery deepens, Gillard is plunged into a case without answers, finding himself up against dark forces - people who believe in only two things: blood and a warped code of honour. This time lives are on the line, children's lives - as well as his own.

At breakneck pace and with a jaw-dropping twist, the suspense-filled second DCI Gillard crime thriller is perfect for fans of Robert Bryndza, Patricia Gibney and Faith Martin.

Well conceived. Well narrated. Love the authors writing style. Some light laugh moments but mostly serious and descriptive. As an American I like the British terms like torch, boot, punter, tart, and descriptive sayings that are different but understandable and kinda funny to hear.

Solid story. No idea how it was going to turn out.

This book was written after much research was done. It really makes our life seem even more simple and safe. I live in the USA and we have troubles but not like the ones in this book. The narrator is a magician with his voice.

The narrator once again performed exceptionally! The story this time with the same detective who was trying to find missing children getting caught up in an Albanian mafia mix up was so thrilling and exciting

Loved this story

Ever worried about Albanian feuds? You will after reading this one. Moves right along. Good book!

Oh wow, this is a twister

Not only is this a well-written, nicely paced novel that introduces an international angle different from what one would expect from a British police procedural (i.e., not about drugs, porn, or domestic terrorism), but the research that must have gone into it is astounding. I never knew that blood feuds existed in Albania, where much of the story takes place. Apparently it's a custom that began in the 15th century and was halted for a time during communist rule but started up again after the 1990 regime collapse. According to statistics I found on a Global Initiative website from 2018 - the year this novel was published - some 591 families were affected, mainly in places like Shkodra in the north of that country! These are not just 'eye for an eye' killings, but are perpetuated across generations, thereby affecting many aspects of that society, sadly including the police and judiciary.

While some might find parts of the plot "far fetched" or "unrealistic" I think the author did a fine job of setting out the background to that country's culture so that I was more than willing to suspend disbelief.

It's a personal thing, but I especially love reading novels that not only entertain me and present plot twists that can't be spotted a mile off (I read a lot of murder mysteries/crime thrillers/police procedurals) but include information I wasn't aware of before. Not sure this novel will do much for the Albanian tourist industry, however...it certainly put me off going there.

This is the second book in the DCI Craig Gillard series and I enjoyed this story even more than the first (The Body in the Marsh). OK, I'm hooked...off to listen to The Body in the Mist. (And quick shout-out to Marston York - great narration!!)

Bodies left, right and centre - great book!

About Albania which sounds really aboriginal. Voices too uncouth. Plot was different. Not likely to buy another Louth

Interesting detail

I couldn’t get into the whole Albanian thing. I never panned out in any depth and all of the characters were a bit simple. Decent narration.

Rather dull
