About this listen

A sinking boat is spotted off the South Coast. Waiting onboard is a grisly discovery.

DCI Boyd, recently relocated from London to Hastings, is now with the East Sussex CID, and his first case is that of a local businessman and his new young wife, missing in the English Channel. All that remains of them is a grim scene aboard their half-submerged yacht and a digital trail of clues that could put Boyd and his daughter, Emma, in danger.

Silent Tide is the first in the DCI Boyd series by award-winning author Alex Scarrow.

A great listen

A really great listen, brilliantly narrated by Aubrey Parsons. My one criticism was that I but a little disappointed it seemed to end so abruptly - but it won’t stop me trying the next in the series!

such a great listen

I listen to Audible while knitting ( I am a retired person and not able to get out much) Sometimes I get fed up with some books and just stop listening to them - NOT this one. The story gripped me and I loved the narration. ( I have to admit I do look for Aubrey Parsons). I do love a crime book that also makes me smile and laugh at times and this one did., I also liked that I could not work out the finale ahead of time. No spoilers - listen to this one, you wont regret it. It took me two afternoons and I was really looking forward to the second afternoon. Now I cant wait to listen to the second in the series.

Really Good Start for a Detective Series

My kind of detective story when I do not feel like concentrating too hard. I look forward to book 2.
Aubrey Parsons MAKES the AUDIBLE!

Not a bad start

Started well, but became a little unbelievable towards the end. Not sure whether I want to continue with that series.

Northwest listener.

I enjoyed this book that was principally set in Hastings. Some elements of Boyd's personal story were a bit wishy washy for me but the story itself was good and intriguing

Not a predictable storyline

I don’t like starting new series and authors but this was easy to get into and it flowed well. Aubrey Parsons has become an equal 1st with my other favourite narrator, he really brings the characters to life. I bought book 2 before finishing book1!!

Really enjoyable listen and great story

This was my first book by this author and narrator but it wont be the last. I really enjoyed the characterisations and loved Ozzie, you can tell the author has so much love for his dog - loved it.

Looking forward to seeing the other characters in the team develop and great to find yet another police procedural that I love.
