Blake Harte Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Robert Innes

Narrated by: Paul Woodson

Harrison Baxter lives on a farm with his parents, on the outskirts of the village of Harmschapel. It's picturesque, idyllic, and tranquil - but Harrison is far from happy. His parent's marriage is strained, to say the least, and on top of that, his boyfriend, Daniel, has been mentally and physically abusing him for years. After he finds himself with one bruise too many, Harrison has had enough. But when he plucks up the courage to finally end his violent relationship, Harrison's life is changed forever when Daniel is found murdered in the most bizarre circumstances.

Detective Sergeant Blake Harte has moved to Harmschapel after his own relationship ended in tatters. But moving to a quiet village after working his way up the ranks in a city brings its own set of problems, and Blake soon finds himself at odds with new colleagues who aren't used to his style of policing. But when he is called upon to investigate the mysterious and impossible murder at Halfmile Farm, Blake finds himself facing the most challenging case of his career. So how can Daniel have been shot in a locked shed that nobody could possibly have escaped from?

Who Dunnit?

Heartbroken Detective moves to small rural town to escape his ex. Immediately gets lead in the most inexplicable murder case. All the police are stymied. Gay detective, good murder mystery combine with an excellent narrator to produce a delightful book.

Great story. Great narration.

This was just the sort of story I needed this week, a quick mystery with interesting twists and characters I could relate to. I enjoyed getting to know the primary characters, Blake and Harrison, and the secondary characters were equally engaging. The locked room mystery was a fascinating puzzle and challenging to solve. The story was relatively short, but packed with great character interactions and an interesting plot.

The narrator, Paul Woodson, offered a very fluid performance with great character voices. I look forward to more stories by this author and narrator.

Just what I was hoping for.

I loved this book. The characters are solid, the plot is clever and the mystery was the centerpiece. A real mystery novel which happens to be from the perspective of a gay police officer. Love it.

Great book

Very easy to listen to, very well written ,really enjoyed it, just hope the others are as good ,could. E one off my favourite authors.😊

A new author and pleasant surprise

More murder mystery/police drama, less romance. A good story. Interesting characters. Well told.
I know this narrator by another name. He’s solid. Skilled. Good performance.
