Dead of Winter

I like the way the author uses a prologue to introduce story characters. The story builds interest with complex interplay of the characters of the series alongside the story characters.
The series characters continue to develop in the background, with links to the other books in the series, (though these are explained so the story stands up on it's own merit) this gives depth to the books.
The story line is interesting and builds suspense to a gripping climax.
Storytelling at it's best and very difficult to put down.
Can't wait for the next one...

Disappointed as I have enjoyed the other books in this series a lot more. The relationship between Fenwick and Nightingale seems to be added on as an afterthought, whereas in the previous books in the series it's been a welcoming distraction from the gory details! And their characters seem to have suffered quite a shift in how they behave and think since the previous book.
Not much characterization of the other characters either, even good old Bob gets dropped from the storyline, and the victims' characters came across as shallow and unformed.
The narrator's portrayal of women's and children's voices verged on the ridiculous, which I hadn't noticed in his narration of other Elizabeth Corley books. I can't believe anyone speaks with such a high pitched voice or / and a posh accent.
As usual I liked the length which gives me better value for money from Audible, but in this instance would have preferred something shorter yet more interesting.
