Summary

Detective Alan Auhl does things his own way - and gets results. He works cold cases now. Like the death of John Elphick - his daughters are still convinced he was murdered, the coroner not so sure. Or the skeleton that’s just been found under a concrete slab. Or the doctor who killed two wives and a girlfriend and left no evidence at all....

Couldn’t stop listening

I enjoy all Disher’s books and this didn’t disappoint! Shame it’s a standalone as I’d like more with same character

Cracking story, ok narration

Garry Disher knows how to write a compelling crime story populated by warm-blooded characters you can really believe in. This is no exception. I raced through it! The narration was ok - a bit lacklustre. But not everyone can be Steve Shanahan or Lockie Chapman.

Good story

Good story plenty of different aspects to it. Just slightly spoilt by the performance delivery.

Brilliant

Loved this book, the main character is so very different from the usual detective, and he makes the book all the more interesting.
Disappointed it's a one off, would really love to hear more. One to listen to again.

Fascinating-

Essentially listening for anyone who has to deal with or has been accused of parental alienation or simply not believed about the truth when people in positions of authority silence the truth - a great listen
