Summary

There's the lost. There's the missing. And there's the taken.

She asked me once if we had any secrets, and I shook my head.
'No secrets between us', she said.
'No' I answered. 'Never ever.'

In a Durham hotel at dawn, celebrated preacher Tristan Snow is murdered as he prays. None of the other guests - not even his daughter, his wife, or her sister - saw or heard anything. But then again, they each had a motive for murder.

Detective Inspector Erica Martin is confronted by secrets and lies, lost in a case where nothing is what it seems. With no answers, DI Martin is consumed by questions: is anyone in this family innocent? When the victim might have been a monster, is there such a thing as justice? And does anyone deserve to die?

Tried it Twice, Not For Me!

I attempted to listen to this on two occasions with a few months between. I think the story might be okay, but I cannot get on with the narration. Rachel Bavidge has a good pace and her timing and emphasis are good. My problem is with the constant dull tone adopted and the distractingly bad North East accents, which are local to me. Returning!
