About this listen
A skeletal body is unearthed in a wooded area of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. DI James Bliss, together with DC Penny Chandler, investigates the case and discovers that the young female victim had been relocated from her original burial site. A witness is convinced that a young female was struck by a vehicle back in the summer of 1990 and that police attended the scene. However, no record exists of either the accident or the reported victim.
As the case develops, two retired police officers are murdered. The two are linked with others who were on duty at the time a road accident was reported. As Bliss and Chandler delve deeper into the investigation, they start to question whether senior officers may have been involved in the murder of the young women who was buried in the woods. As each link in the chain is put under duress, so is Bliss, who clashes with superiors and the media. When his team receives targeted warnings, Bliss will need to decide whether to drop the case or to pursue those responsible.
Will Bliss walk away in order to keep his career intact, or will he fight no matter what the cost? And is it possible the killer is much closer than they imagined?

Great start to a series
This is the first book in a series and it's a cracker! DI Bliss and DC Chandler are called out when bones are discovered in a wood, and are thrown into a complex investigation dating back years. The story is full of twists and turns and there's never a dull moment.
DI Bliss is a fantastic character, with an interesting, tragic past and is also battling a health condition. He seems like a bit of a loner, but is a great policeman and I grew to like him as the book progressed. We didn't get to know as much about DC Chandler but hopefully we will in future books.
Great narration too by Greg Wagland.
I don't know why it took me so long to get around to starting this series, but now that I have I'll be devouring the rest!

Oh dear!
Such poor narration that it spoilt what I think would have been an OK story.
