Histoire
Who hanged the headmaster in the playground on the night of the school Hallowe'en party? Almost everyone in Heppleburn either hated or feared the viper-tongued Harold Medburn. Inspector Ramsay is convinced it was the headmaster's enigmatic wife, but Jack Robson, school governor and caretaker, is determined to prove her innocence. With the help of his restless, enthusiastic daughter, Patty, Jack digs into the secrets of Heppleburn, and uncovers a cesspit - of lies, adultery, blackmail and madness.

Histoire
News of the murder first came to Inspector Stephen Ramsay early on Monday morning. They found the strangled body of farmer Ernie Bowles lying on his kitchen floor. The gruesome discovery had first been made by Lily Jackman, a new-age traveller who was living with her boyfriend in a caravan on Bowles' land. Then another person is strangled, a woman who, on the surface, had absolutely no connection with the dead farmer. Surely two such killings in the same locality are more than just chilling coincidence.

Histoire
Detective Inspector Munro is a burly Scottish policeman who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Detective Sergeant West is an intelligent young woman, new to the force, with a lot to prove. When a missing person case lands on their desks, Munro is skeptical there is much to it. But their investigation soon comes to some strange findings, and before long a body is found. With a serial killer on their hands, they must act fast to trace a woman placed at the scene of the crime. Yet discovering her true identity, let alone finding her, proves difficult. And as the plot thickens they realise the crime is far graver than either of them could have imagined.
Description
Young Tom French was found dead, lying in a marsh on the Norfolk coast, with his head bashed in and his binoculars still around his neck. One of the best birders in England, Tom had put the village of Rushy on the birdwatching map. Everyone liked him. Or did they?
George Palmer-Jones, an elderly birdwatcher who decided quietly to look into the brutal crime, discovered mixed feelings aplenty. But as he and his fellow "twitchers" flocked from Norfolk to Scotland to the Scilly Isles in response to rumours of rare sightings, George - with help from his lovely wife, Molly - gradually discerned the true markings of a killer. All he had to do was prove it...before the murderer struck again.

zzzzzzzzZZZZ
Would you try another book from Ann Cleeves and/or Seán Barrett?
Love Ann Cleeves writing, particularly the Shetland Series.
But the narration here by Sean Barrett is paralysingly boring and monotonous. It adds nothing to the book.
Great is you want a bedtime book - this one won't keep you awake.
I will always look forward to an Ann Cleeves book but will wait until an alternative narrator is used or buy the ebook instead.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Mostly relief that it was over. The narration did nothing to build suspense or intrigue, or even interest to keep one guessing.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Seán Barrett?
Someone who can bring themselves to get involved in the story.
Simon Vance, Simon Prebble, George Guidall, Kenny Blyth, Davina Porter or Jonathan Keeble ...... So many wonderful narrators to choose from!
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. Not Ann Cleeves best book but that could have been less obvious with a different narrator perhaps.
Any additional comments?
It is disappointing when a narrator seems uninterested in the book, but as I haven't anything else in my library read by Mr Barrett I can't judge whether this is his usual style, that is, calm and quiet, or if it was just the book he couldn't raise an interest in.
Buy the ebook and read it yourself.
