Disappointed

I would have like this better is the descriptive sexual encounters were left out. Just unnecessary. Made the mystery more like a trash novella. I enjoy Faith Martins clean mysteries much better!

Very predictable…nothing like the DCI Greene

So disappointed…this must have been one of the first novels. Please have the rest of DCI Greene books turned into Audible books.

Absolutely terrible

I loved previous books by Ms Martin but what was she thinking here? The characters are under developed, the plot is bizarre, and the timeline from first meeting to romance is eye rolling.
