The Village Killer

DI Barton, Book 7

By: Ross Greenwood

Narrated by: David Thorpe

A gripping, pulse-pounding DI Barton thriller from the bestselling Ross Greenwood.

After three years behind a desk, Inspector John Barton wonders if he’s still got what it takes.

An opportunity arises to return to Major Crimes, so he jumps at it, after all he’s been around the block a few times. When he and his team are called in to investigate an attempted murder which seems to be linked to the case of a missing child, Barton is immediately thrust back into the life of a detective – early mornings, late nights and endless pressure to get to the truth.

Then a man dies.

Something deadly is going on behind the high walls and imposing gates of the mansions in the sleepy village of Castor. The locals are keeping each other’s secrets and if Barton doesn’t find out why soon, the bodies will start mounting up.

The Village Killer knows who’s next, and the clock is ticking…

The book all Ross Greenwood fans have been waiting for - Barton is Back! Ross Greenwood returns to his bestselling series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham and Ian Rankin.

Is this the last DI Barton?

I have loved every single book in this series and rave about it to everyone. But if this is the last one then it is perfect because I truly believe this was a happily ever after.

Great story

Ross Greenwood’s ensemble of detectives never disappoint. The plots are well written with clever twist, character characters are well developed, and the dialogue is believable and frequently laugh out loud funny.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Hope you do as well.

Depth of characters is amazing

Ross Greenwood books never disappoint! Complex stories with mystery and humor! My all time favorite author! Another book I will listen to many more times!

Confusion

Read the whole book and I am still confused as to who the murderer was.

Relieved and delighted to see DI Barton Series continue

Perfect combination of suspense, humor and especially relationships between each character, qualities that seemed lacking in Romero Beach series. I hope this isn't the last.
