"He saw a bare arm first, the hand palm up with fingers curled inwards. Then he stopped and took a few breaths. He could hear the two constables making arrangements before they separated, one saying he'd bring the other some tape from the car, and then it was just the summer morning quiet again."
Detective Sergeant Chris Waters got the call at 05.29 that July morning. This is it, said DCI Reeve, you'll be first there, it's all yours, you're the crime scene manager. Suddenly, after months of waiting and wondering, Waters finds himself in at the deep end, and alone at the scene of a puzzling murder.

As the investigation proceeds, the detectives at Kings Lake Central find themselves visiting familiar places and talking to some familiar faces, while old enmities reappear in the incident room. Before this is over, Chris Waters will need to make a career-changing decision, and another member of the CID team will find herself facing an unexpected challenge. And Smith? Gone but not forgotten? Surely, he would say, you cannot write me off with a worn-out cliché like that . . .

      An appealing protagonist and supporting cast [characters?], a strong plot, and Gildart Jackson's excellent English-accented performance enliven this audiobook. Young, smart Detective Sergeant Chris Waters has his first case as crime scene manager when the body of a murdered woman is found. The story follows the Norfolk-based police team as it follows leads to dead ends and new suspects. There's also some nasty office politics Waters must survive. Jackson establishes distinct characters, clearly defining even those with minor roles, and finds the appropriate tones for the narrative portions of the book. Grainger and Jackson teamed up on the popular DC Smith audiobooks. This latest work, a spin-off from those collaborations, hasn't lost a thing. G.S. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
