About this listen

The second dark and twisted thriller in the Avison Fluke series by M. W. Craven, the acclaimed author of The Puppet Show.

Investigating how a severed hand ends up on the third green of a Cumbrian golf course is not how Detective Inspector Avison Fluke has planned to spend his Saturday. So when a secret protection unit from London swoops in quoting national security, he's secretly pleased.

But trouble is never far away. A young woman arrives at his lakeside cabin with a cryptic message: a code known to only a handful of people and it forces Fluke back into the investigation he's only just been barred from.

In a case that will change his life forever, Fluke immerses himself in a world of New Age travellers, corrupt cops and domestic extremists. Before long he's alienated his entire team, has been arrested under the Terrorism Act - and has made a pact with the Devil himself. But a voice has called out to him from beyond the grave. And Fluke is only getting started...

Critic reviews

"This is high quality crime writing." (A. A. Dhand)

After “Born in a burial gown” I was really looking forward to this book. And while I did enjoy it it it did seem as though it was going down the same route as most with the maverick police officer. Some of their actions were ridiculous and his girlfriend! Talk about high maintenance. All in all, entertaining new series.

Interesting

Really gripping - I loved it. I really enjoy the narrator too, perfect for the role. I can’t wait for the next instalment :-)

Even better than the first

I recently read the Puppet Show and Black Summer by the same author. I really enjoyed them so decided to read this one, I want disappointed. The book is full of twists, I couldn’t stop listening!! The narration really compliments the story with a touch of humour added! I highly recommend this book. Just about to read Born in a burial ground which is book 1!!

Brilliant

I discovered M W Craven through his Washington Poe novels and his Avison Fluke series doesn't disappoint. Another well crafted story and the same dry humour as in Cravens other novels, I thoroughly enjoyed Body Breaker. I just hope there's more to come for Fluke!

Another cracker from M W Craven

Great characterisation and a plot that pulls you in. The narrator is extremely engaging and conveys the emotions if the characters effortlessly.

Excellent, fantastic and well worth listening to.

I'm really enjoying the M. W Craven books. They're fast paced with lots of twists and interesting storylines. I love Fluke's relationship with Towler, it's unconditional. Hopefully there is a third book in the pipeline, they left us on a bit of a cliffhanger.
Is it just me, or have other people noticed the similarities between the leading characters? Fluke with his log cabin and Poe with his Shepherds Croft - both in isolated locations and having problems with the possibility of eviction. Nevertheless, they make the drive to and from work much more exciting.

Definitely Worth a Credit

Love the characters, humour and intricate plot. Had me laughing and on the edge of seat. Finale is brilliant

Fantastic book

But I have to caveat that with the sheer silliness and unbelievable situations that our hero gets himself into and miraculously manages to get out of with ease, John Banks narration saves this book from the realm of the ridiculous

A good listen
