Summary

Once seen, never forgotten…

Following a recent disaster, DI Ben Savage reluctantly assumes a leadership role. So when a man’s body is discovered floating in a remote Lincolnshire pond, he must call upon his experience and set his grief aside.

But will experience be enough?

With almost no forensic evidence, the team rely on old-fashioned police work to unpick Lee Constantine’s last movements. A winding path through a nearby field, a set of footprints close to the scene, and a party that nobody seems to remember is all they have to go on—and there the trail dies.

As the list of suspects grows, Ben soon discovers they share a common trait—everyone has a secret to keep...and it’s a secret that Lee Constantine took to his watery grave.

Set in the brutal Lincolnshire farmland, Burden of Truth has everything that fans of British crime fiction want—deadly realism, dark humour, and characters you will love right up until the shocking twist is unveiled.

Burden of Truth is the fourteenth novel in the much-loved Wild Fens Murder Mystery series from Jack Cartwright, and is perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JM Dalgliesh, Joy Ellis, and JD Kirk.

Taken away

I listened to this , to remove myself from reality at a difficult time. The familiarity of Lincolnshire was warming and my distain for the mechanics of the system was difficult to engage with. The background love story seemed so familiar but my story doesn’t have a happy ending as I wish it might have the same as this . A great story for me .

The Best So Far

This series just keeps getting better and better. The twists and turns of a murder hunt are skilfully intertwined with the various emotional ups and downs of the team as they try and piece this one together. All the characters are so believable you really immerse yourself in their lives as if they are your own friends or colleagues. The story line is very compelling and keeps you hanging right till the end. A must listen for anyone who loves police procedurals.
Jack Cartwright's imagination + Graham Mack's narration = perfection every time

Keeps you hanging

As I was reading I started to think is this the end of this series of books…. Another great book, so glad I found Jack Cartwright a fab storyline and a thoroughly good listen, didn’t want to stop listening.
