The Body on the Moor

DCI Craig Gillard, Book 8

By: Nick Louth

Narrated by: Marston York

You can never escape the past. Especially on the moors....

After the National Crime Agency cracks a major drug gang, junior barrister Julia McGann finds herself defending the violent enforcer Terrence Bonner. This high-profile case is a coup for her, but almost immediately things start to go wrong. Intruders break into her house, and then a young girl turns up at her door with a horrifying story to tell.

Three months later, DCI Craig Gillard and his team struggle with the shocking murder of a much-respected local headmaster, found dead in his own car. The baffling crime fills the newspapers but yields few clues. As Gillard sifts the evidence, a pair of blood-spattered gloves seems important.

Why were they used for both the murder and for the burglary at Julia’s house? What secrets is the barrister hiding...and what happened on the Derbyshire Moors two decades ago that could be the key to these shocking events?

A story of deceit, vengeance and blackmail, best-selling author Nick Louth will leave you reeling in this unpredictable crime thriller.

Excellent

I really, really enjoyed this book. Just when you think you know where the story is going and you have it figured out it surprises you. Characters are very well developed, too.

Twisted…

A tale of problem solving rather than crime solving. Moral ambiguity, the stuff of life. Sadly, the real victim didn’t get away with it in the end.

Agree

I agree with the majority. This story was over all disappointing. I don’t recommend it and sorry I didn’t believe the previous reviews.

Wait....WHAT!?!?

Soooo did not expect that ending....not sure I like it. Feels very unfinished, but I presume that is a set up for part 2.

Holy Cow!

This was a great story. Well written and well narrated. It’s a little different than most of the series but well conceived. Some people don’t like the ending. Personally I like books that make you think. I suggest you don’t read the reviews and just listen to the book.
