Dying to Tell

The Wild Fens Murder Mystery Series, Book 5

By: Jack Cartwright

Narrated by: Graham Mack

Run and hide, or stay and die....

When a hit-and-run accident leaves eight-year-old Lee Sanders in critical condition, DI Freya Bloom and DS Ben Savage arrive on the scene in rural Lincolnshire. But the investigation they thought would be simple, soon develops into something far more sinister. The driver of the car is found in a nearby ditch, and she didn't die of natural causes.

Poppy Gray, a nineteen-year-old girl with a bright future ahead of her, had only one known friend, a troubled boy who rarely speaks. Leading a simple life, Poppy had been filled with the joys of spring. But she knew something. A secret so terrible that somebody would go to great lengths to keep her quiet.

Whose secret was so terrible that Poppy deserved to die? How many more people will suffer? Only one thing is clear—the killer is planning their end game.

Set in the wild Lincolnshire fens, this murder mystery is laced with humor, peppered with romance, and is bound with a twist you will not see coming.

Dying to Tell is the suspenseful fifth book in the Wild Fens Murder Mystery series by USA Today best-selling author Jack Cartwright. Ideal for fans of JM Dalgliesh, LJ Ross, JD Kirk, Joy Ellis, and Rachel McClean.

Just keep getting better

Love this series. Who knew the ending of that one. Great twist and turns. Can’t wait for the next

Gillespie stars.

I loved that Gillespie had a bigger role! He became even more human as the book went on.

Losing my enjoyment of this series

I know the lead character should be complex, but I lost a lot of respect for her during this particular story.

Uneven, AI Story & Juvenile

Leaning too much on stereotypes, the mystery is OK, but characterization is cardboard and childish.

Am I the only person who hates Freya?

I don't know if I can continue with this series. I like the mystery and the team, but the relationship between Ben and Freya is disturbing and immature. I also find Freya just plain mean with her many pranks. The 'bet' between Ben and Freya is cringey. I wish they could develop a normal adult relationship, if that's where this is going
