Wasn’t as enamoured as previous books
Reviewed: 02-07-24
Bit different from the previous two books but lots of information that I just ignored. I know it’s setting the scene but wasn’t as flowing as the previous two books.
Don’t take that I didn’t enjoy it but I’m looking forward to the next books.

Duchess of Cornwall Close: sheltered accommodation, a mix of bungalows and flats, newly built and not quite finished. Despite the bitterly cold weather, elderly residents are moving in. Then, one snowy night, an old lady is murdered - dragged from her bed and strangled with a length of flex. DCS Simon Serrailler and his team are aware of bizarre circumstances surrounding her death, but keep some details secret while they desperately search for a match. All they know is that the killer will strike again, and will once more leave the same tell-tale signature.

I really love this series of books. The narration is brilliant and is very calm yet characterful. Highly recommend starting from the start of the series learning new information about the characters which you get taken along the main part of the story.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 495
On 28th January 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s ship The Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon, The Wager was wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia.

Excellent story but narration is many great
Reviewed: 28-02-24
You can tell a lot of research went into the story and I think should have been just a story without interruption from factual aspects seemingly thrown in breaking the narrative.
The choice of narrator in my opinion was a bad choice. Yes very clearly spoken but my main gripe was that he kept pausing before the sentence was complete as if there was a full stop.
“Raise the sails……. The captain said” and it went on throughout the book. I wanted to hear more but couldn’t wait for the book to finish.
After the book I watched captain and commander with Russell Crowe. This book flooded back as I watched their adventures unfurl and the horrors they must have gone through especially in the storms.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 163
The world’s food supply grows aggressively, occupying every inch of earth, no matter how inhospitable. World hunger is averted. Humanity flourishes. RC-714 is digested, absorbed…and passed on. The Change affects small fast-breeding mammals first. They multiply with the same aggressive speed as the ExoGen plants, but an insatiable hunger drives them to violence. A war between species breaks out. When RC-714 reaches humanity, along with every other large creature on the planet, civilization implodes.

Canon Daniel Clement is Rector of Champton, where he lives alongside his widowed mother—opinionated, fearless, ever-so-slightly annoying Audrey—and his two dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda. When Daniel announces a plan to install a lavatory in the church, the parish is suddenly (and unexpectedly) divided: as lines are drawn, long-buried secrets come dangerously close to destroying the apparent calm of the village.

Loved this book. Really nice storyline that does leave you involved in all the characters and village. Reverend Richard Coles does a great job in narration and I look forward to the next books he writes.
