Some phrases kept being repeated, which got a bit trying, but the plot and all the facts about the countryside, trees, etc. kept it interesting!

I do love this series

This piece of PC Grant's story is in 2 parts. Clearly, the series will continue. But, this bit is, for the most part, wrapped up..

My husband and I are currently listening our way through this series, of which which he has read all and I have read some. Kobna Holbrook-Smith's narration is spot-on and it's just a really enjoyable way to consume these stories.

Peter Grant, city cop, goes to the country. So we got all of the delightful snark, but transplanted to where he's bopping along hedgerows and through the churchyard back and forth to country houses, and starts to feel like we've walked into a P.D. James novel or something. Only, of course, not.
The two part structure - girls are missing / girls are back but things are weird - was unexpected, but worked well.
