About this listen

The “Funeral” Owl is supposedly an omen of death, so when there’s a rare sighting, Philip Dryden, editor of local newspaper, has a sense of foreboding. It's already proving to be an eventful week. The body of a Chinese man has been discovered hanging in a churchyard; the death of two tramps has unearthed some shocking findings; and a series of metal thefts is plaguing the area.

And Dryden has been requested to help in solving a horrifying ten-year-old cold case. As he investigates, he uncovers some curious links between the seemingly unrelated cases: It would appear the sighting of the Funeral Owl is proving prophetic in more ways than one.

A bit twisty but worth the effort

I enjoyed the story very much even though in places I had to go over the story again make it clear because it takes a few turns. I love the way the story is paced (Its perfectly in keeping with the area. I know I have family there )Will definitely be hearing more from this writer.
