Summary

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of To Die For by Alice Clark-Platts, read by Rachel Bavidge.

In an empty car park, Ryan James sits in his car contemplating death. He has set up a hose pipe that is pouring carbon monoxide into the car, and his deciding whether or not to close the last window and end it all. Finally, he gets a text and decides to end his life.

Detective Martin is called to the scene the next day. At first she is convinced it is a simple suicide but as she looks deeper into the boy's life and his relationships she begins to wonder if someone else was involved.

Also available in the DI Erica Martin series in audio: Bitter Fruits and The Taken.

Interesting quick read

This crime/thriller, 1hr 9mins and at a cheap price of £0.87 is definitely worth it.

It was free

Narrator has a good Geordie accent but the story was weak. Can't complain too much as it was free.

Decent short story

Narrator has a lovely voice however sometimes it's hard to determine who is who. It's a fine short story

Engrossing.

Alice’s careful selection of words leads to a fine style of writing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Good short story but slightly pointless?

I have to admit I was totally gripped throughout but it fizzled away when it just seemed like listening to a short episode of Midsummer Murder - slightly inconclusive and may have been better as an actual novel.

Over too quickly

Good plot and narration. Voice was well paced and diction clear. Will look out for more books read by this narrator. Only thing I didn't like was the swearing.

A new experience

Haven’t listened to a short story before and really loved it. This hooked me in from the start and there were a few spine tingling moments. Definitely recommended.
Going to try another Alice Clark-Platts book. The Geordie context and accents was an added bonus for this Gateshead lass!
