My heart is sad.

I feel awful. I like my books to make me feel good. Make me feel happy. But no, I am so sad. But.....such a good plot. The mystery. The angst. The wonderful characters. The feels. A real page turner.
I was gifted an Audible version of this book from the author through Story Origin. I have listened to several books narrated by Mary Phillips. She is English. Which in the other books was ok. But in this book I could not always understand her heavy British accent. 3 stars for her.

Great Police Procedural Story

This was my first experience with Colin Joseph Galtrey's work, and I was entertained by the story. I admired the descriptive phrases which brought the world of Derbyshie Peak District alive in my imagination. I liked the character of John Gammon and his dedication to his job as a Detective Inspector. I admired the surprising twists found in this story. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I thought Mary Phillips' narration added an emotional fillip to the story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I volunteered without any renumeration to post this review which listed my opinions.

A Gripping Start to the Series

This was the first book I’ve read by Colin J. Galtrey, and overall, I really enjoyed it. Things Will Never Be the Same Again pulls you in with an emotional story and an intriguing mystery surrounding Detective John Gammon. It did take me a minute to get into the story, but once I did, I was hooked. The ending was so sad, it definitely stayed with me after I finished.

I listened to the audiobook version, and I have to say, I love Mary Phillips as a narrator. She has a wonderful, expressive voice, though her accent was a bit thicker than normal, and it took a little time to adjust. Once I got used to it, I really appreciated how she brought the story to life.

All in all, it’s a solid start to the series, and even though it took a bit to warm up to, I might just give book two a try!

okay

It was difficult for me to get into the story - mostly due to the narration. the accent was hard to follow.
