About this listen

The higher you climb, the further you fall.

On her way home after an overnight shift, DI Jan Talantire hears the control room relaying an emergency. Someone has fallen to their death from one of the highest cliffs in Devon. Jan is nearby so she agrees to hold the fort until uniformed cops arrive.

At the scene, a small knot of people have gathered, all of whom have some connection to the victim, Joanne Dexter. Could one of them have been involved in her death?

When the Commissioner personally asks Jan to take charge of the case, she is taken aback – such a small incident would usually be beneath a DI. But she soon realises there’s far more to this case than first meets the eye. This fall was no accident.

Joanne’s work forced her into close contact with some dangerous people. Could she have gotten on their bad side? Or was her killer someone closer to home?

An unputdownable British crime thriller from the million-copy bestseller. Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, Kate Ellis and Sally Rigby.

Am very much enjoying this latest series by nick louth, having read all the 'bodies' series. Set in the most beautiful part of the country, characters are well formed and there is a great sense of character and discovery in every chapter. I love the way that complex concepts are often explained twice as a reminder and have thoroughly enjoyed listening to these books whilst travelling or out on a run. Can't wait for the next one!

Another great instalment

Loved the twist and turns. Well written as always. Unfortunately Nick can’t write the books quick enough for me.

Great story and narration.

Ideally the next episode has more of the fast paced mystery and intrigue and a lot less of the sermonising.
