About this listen
Ex-superintendent Fabia Havard is struggling with civilian life when a local girl is found dead.
Out walking near the rain-swelled river running past her small Welsh town, she comes across the body of Amber Morgan. Fabia’s police training tells her instantly that the death is the result of foul play. But no longer in the force, all she can do is call it in. Yet she has mixed feelings when she discovers it is her former colleague, Matt Lambert, newly promoted to chief inspector, who will head the investigation into the girl’s death.
Despite this, having known the victim, and bored with her new job as an illustrator, Fabia can’t help probing into the murder. However, her inquiries further upset the quiet of the town. Not least her neighbour, busybody Rhona Griffiths, who was seen arguing with the victim the day before her death.
Fabia’s activity bothers Matt Lambert, but time and time again Fabia’s instincts are proved right. He can’t help leaning on her in order to progress the investigation, but that will also involve confronting why she left the force years ago. Can they put their differences aside and work together to bring the perpetrator to justice despite Fabia’s painful past being brought up again? Or will Fabia’s moonlighting get her into further danger?
Murder in the Valleys is set in the fictional town of Pontygwyn in the Welsh valleys under the shadow of the Black Mountains. It will appeal to listeners who like traditional 'whodunnits', those who like the landscape, atmosphere and people of South Wales, and everyone who likes a good listen that keeps you hanging on.

More of this reader please!
A good story with good characters and relationships all made excellent by the reader, Glen Watson. I went to find more books on Audible ready by her and found there was only one. Please publish more books narrated by this reader!
I was disappointed to find that the further books in the series have different readers, who are maybe very good themselves, but less well suited to this particular series.

Enjoyable police procedural
I enjoyed this book - I liked the main characters and found the plot interesting.
I thought the characters reflected the area it is set well and would very much like to listen to more about Fabia and Matt.
Narrated very well - easy to listen to and great feeling.

gentle but intruiging tale
enjoyed narration which was clear. Good range of accents. Good Welsh pronunciation which took me back some years.

A pleasant story but spoilt at times by poor editing.
Some poor editing which stopped the flow at times. This was a shame as the narration was good and the plot easy to follow.

Some good twists and turns
Narration was very good. I liked the characters. Some books really dwell on past happenening that you end up not caring less what their history was and why they are in the situation they are in, this one just about avoided it and I did like the way her history did unravel. Nice twists and turns so was interested all the time.

Quite a good tale
The story and the performance were good, except for the reader’s tendency to overlook full stops and paragraphs, making sentences and paragraphs run into each other and causing it to become a little unclear at times, about whom she was speaking. Apart from this slight irritation her characterisation was very good.
