Silent Tide

DCI Boyd Crime Series, Book 1

By: Alex Scarrow

Narrated by: Aubrey Parsons

A sinking boat is spotted off the South Coast. Waiting onboard is a grisly discovery.

DCI Boyd, recently relocated from London to Hastings, is now with the East Sussex CID, and his first case is that of a local businessman and his new young wife, missing in the English Channel. All that remains of them is a grim scene aboard their half-submerged yacht and a digital trail of clues that could put Boyd and his daughter, Emma, in danger.

Silent Tide is the first in the DCI Boyd series by award-winning author Alex Scarrow.

Excellent

Totally enjoyed this audiobook, first in a new series of me. Looking forward to listening to the rest

Going nowhere

The book seemed to be headed for a big conclusion then totally fizzled. Most disappointing ending ever.

I am hooked

I am totally hooked and ready for book 4,but it is not available . :/
Great job on everything .

Good book

Good story good read good listen all the way around. Wish I could find a good mystery without the “F” word so much.

Solid start to a series!

Let me just start by saying that personally I love Aubrey Parsons and he is the main reason I decided to buy this first book. He also narrates my absolute favorite British crime series Grimm Up North. Does he have a gravelly voice? Yep! But in my opinion his voice is exactly what this character needs. Give him a chance. When I first started Grimm Up North I was a bit put off too but I soon fell into his cadence and voices and I couldn't imagine anyone else doing the series.

As to the book itself. It's pretty good. The main character is likeable and the mystery is ok, if a little predictable. The end was a bit weird and fast though and not really very satisfying. Still, I liked it enough to get the next book in the series and am in the middle of it now. The only thing I really hate so far about these books is the MC's daughter. She is super whiney and her role is a bit unbelievable. I bought both of these books on sale but when the rest are finally recorded I would spend a credit to listen to book 3.
