Victim Impact

One Choice, One Decision, Grave Consequences

By: Fran McDonnell

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A phone call from Belfast shatters Isobel McKenzie’s sleep and her peace. Her nephew, Jack, is safe but two of his friends from Queen’s University are not. Michael is dead and Charlene is in a coma. Isobel leaves for Belfast immediately.

The PSNI suspect theft as the motive for the crime but, as Isobel and Jack investigate, they uncover other possible motives: an online bully, a drug connection and ultimately a web of organised crime. A cross-border drug task force is set up and, amidst politics and talk of corruption, the case becomes more and more complicated.

Help arrives from London in the shape of Isobel’s old friend, retired policeman Malcolm Carr. Together they strive to untangle the web of potential motives for the attack, while at the same time seeking to identify the mysterious boss of the drug cartel.

Isobel battles to find who can be trusted and who the criminals are.

Started out great.

Narrator too old of a voice for character ages. Difficult to tell one character from another. Stupid ending.
