Summary
How long does it take to make a murderer?
For 16 years, the Midwinter Butcher has been lurking in the shadows, committing ritualistic animal killings on the anniversary of DI Joseph Stone's son's tragic death. And ever since, Joseph has been desperate to bring them to justice.
Now living alone on a narrowboat in the heart of Oxford, the Irish detective has tried to put his shattered life back together. But with his superiors’ unwillingness to allocate the necessary resources, his quest for justice has been fruitless.
That is until he is teamed with the determined and driven DC Megan Taylor. Together, they begin to unravel the web of clues that leads them closer and closer to the truth. Soon it becomes clear that these animal murders were just a prelude to something much more sinister.
The clock is ticking, and with Joseph's daughter's life on the line, he and Megan must risk everything to catch the Midwinter Butcher before it's too late. Can they bring the killer to justice, and Joseph finally find closure, or will his daughter become the next victim in this twisted game of life and death?
The Dead of Midwinter is J.R. Sinclair's electrifying debut crime thriller. Sinclair's writing is a fresh and exciting new voice in the British crime fiction genre, sure to captivate fans of JD Kirk, TG Reid, Alex Smith, and J.E Mayhew. This is a must-listen for any crime enthusiast and will keep you guessing until the very end.
"Twisty, tangled, and totally addictive. I'm hooked!" (T.G. Reid)
"Sinister, exciting, J.R. Sinclair has it all!" (J.E. Mayhew)

Absorbing story
Format: audiobook
Narrator: Patrick FitzSymons
Can’t say this is a fast paced book but that doesn’t mean it’s boring.
The midwinter ritualistic animal killings have been happening every year for 16 years, the first night resulted in the tragic death of DI Joseph Stones infant son.
When the killer switches his killings from animal to human DI Stone realises his biggest fear may be about to come true.
An interesting and absorbing read with some good characters.
The narrator does a good job particularly with Joseph Stone and I love listening to the Irish accent.

Great story
Couldn't put this down. Loved the characters who had believable human flaws, but also redeaming features that made them interesting. Lots of nice descriptions that made me feel I was really there, and the narrator was great! His female characters were totally believable and his range of male voices was excellent! Will definitely be seeking out more work by both the author and the narrator!

Highly recommend this
Story was great and as was the narration. Not the usual ‘everyone gets saved’ and nor did it end abruptly. Now onto book 2 👍👍
