About this listen

His best friend has been murdered, his daughter's in danger.

There's only one answer. Going back to his old life.

The one that cost him his wife…

Michael Brady was a high-flying detective, working on a high-profile case.

And much too close to the truth.

Someone arranged a hit-and-run.

But they missed Brady. And hit his wife.

And after six months sitting by her bed, he took the only decision he could take. He turned the machine off.

Now he's back home in Whitby. Trying to rebuild his life. And be a good dad to his teenage daughter.

But when his best friend is murdered Brady–unwillingly at first–is drawn into the investigation.

And when the only people he has left are threatened, he finds there's only one answer.

Going back to his old life…

Salt in the Wounds is the first novel from award winning writer and blogger Mark Richards. It's set in Whitby, on the North Yorkshire coast, and tells the story of former Detective Inspector Michael Brady. His wife's dead and he's back in his home town–trying to rebuild his life and be a good dad to his 13 year old daughter.

Great Listen

Really enjoyed this book. Good story, with the main character being well rounded and believable. Like all detective novels silly at times, but for the most part very grounded. It does tend to wonder into his past too much for me and we get to hear all his frustrations. But that is most probably just me. At the time of writing this was free in Audible Plus. But would gladly paid a credit. Which is what I have just done in purchasing book 2!

Excellent start to a new series.

A well written, well narrated story. Interesting characters and a developing plot theme around the main character which will clearly carry on into book 2. Well worth a listen.

Very enjoyable.

A very enjoyable listen. Following the loss of his wife Michael Brady retires to Whitby but circumstances pull him back in to investigating after the death of his friend. A variety of twists and turns throughout the book keep you guessing what the outcome will be. Highly recommended for fans of crime mysteries. Very good narration brings the story to life.
