Summary

The Silent Quarry is the first audiobook in a series of murder mysteries featuring the perceptive but reclusive and love-shy detective DI Winter Meadows.

One morning, Gwen Thomas takes a short walk with her Siberian husky in the outskirts of the Welsh town she calls home. She is drawn to a desolate area where, some 20 years ago as a teenager, she was brutally attacked and her friend killed. Disorientated by a sudden rush of memories, she has a fall. Later, recovering in hospital, she begins to recollect the events that led up to her friend’s death.

DI Winter Meadows is encouraged to reopen what has for some time been a cold case. If Gwen can remember who attacked her, it could lead to a prosecution. But not everyone wants Gwen to recover her memory. Having got over her fall, she now faces a greater danger - from whoever else knows what actually happened.

First time of listening to this author.

The story was interesting and kept my interest until the final page. Not sure I would listen to a whole batch of them.

Really enjoyable

I enjoyed the story, the characters and their motives were believable and I didn’t work out the twist at the end. The narrator was excellent as well. I’m just starting the second book in the series, which I hope will be as good.

pretty good

Well worth a listen. Getting a free book from a author you've never heard from before is an excellent way of trying them without using a credit. I'd definitely give this writer a look when I'm searching for a new listen. Good twists with a clever ending and loads of red herrings.
