Loved how the characters of different backgrounds come together and how they reason out the clues together. They all bring something to the table. Having Brendon as the murder never saw that coming so a great listen to.

Brilliant Twist

A decent, cosy listen. Pretty much as I expected, on a par with previous books about Judith and co. Note to narrator and audio editors though, it’s pronounced BURR Island in South Devon, not BERG Island (spelt Burgh). Extremely grating.

Good to catch up with familiar characters
