I get to narrate quite a lot of crime fiction.  This is certainly among the better-written and has been a pleasure to read for WF Howes.  I really hope there will be more in the series.  Finalising my episodes (as Leo) in the ManCave Studio over the next couple of weeks.

But Vicky’s body is never found.
2019. A skeleton is discovered in a twisty network of caves beneath the fells. Detectives Leo Donovan and Shan Young think they can finally give Vicky’s mother the closure she so desperately wants. After twenty long years of questions and anguish.

And nothing can prepare them for the shocking truth . . .”
