MURDER IS SKIN DEEP

A British Murder Mystery (DCI Garrick Crime Thriller - book 2)

By: M.G. Cole

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

ONE VICTIM. WRONG BODY.

DCI David Garrick’s latest case begins with a corpse that shouldn’t exist—and a detail so bizarre it sparks a national media storm.

At the centre of the chaos is a mysterious new street artist, a “Banksy”-like figure whose work is suddenly worth a fortune—and whispered to carry a deadly curse. When collectors start dying and an ambitious art dealer realises he may be next, Garrick and his team are dragged into a deadly game of greed, deception, and murder.

But the case is more than just twisted motives and priceless art. With the press watching his every move, his health failing, and the shadow of his sister’s unsolved murder hanging over him, Garrick can’t shake the feeling that someone is pulling the strings.

Is the killer taunting him? Or is his own fractured mind betraying him once again?

Murder Is Skin Deep is the explosive second novel in M.G. Cole’s gritty British crime series—perfect for fans of Peter James, JD Kirk, and Val McDermid.

“M.G. Cole is a brilliant new addition to the echelon of British crimewriters.”
Peter James

Say no to AI

Some narrators are better than others. Even considering narrators that I dislike immensely, an AI narrator is a bad choice. There is no tone. It sounds like someone reading their to do list. Monotone and some of the word pronunciations and numbers. Dreadful

Nice series.

Virtual voice on this series is not bad at all. More clearer than listening to some live British -accented narrators.

Stop using electronic voice

Story was good but the voice reading so difficult to listen to. Why ruin a good story!

Poor Narration

When 999 to read as nine hundred and ninety nine, UK emergency number, I lost interest, the narration made this book a surgery, Imo.

the plot

I wish the virtual voice works have been more up beat and not so monotone
