About this audiobook
"We are living in the departure lounge," said Ralph Greenwood, "and flights leave with monotonous regularity." So when another resident of the Rosemary House care home is found dead in her chair one Saturday evening in December, no one is very surprised-not until the results of a routine post-mortem reveal something extraordinary. Sergeant DC Smith and his team have to tread carefully as they investigate what took place, and Smith himself has to confront some difficult memories. Others, meanwhile, seem intent on getting him to leave the force altogether, while, despite his best efforts, his social life also becomes a little more complicated. To top it all, Kings Lake has been waiting weeks for the snow to fall, in a winter that seems as if it will never end . . .

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a lovely surprise this series is. The second outing for the acerbic DC Smith and better than the first one. Love the writing and narration. Superb!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5While I didn't love this story quite as much as the first or others in the series, Peter Grainger still writes some of my favourite novels and D.C. Smith is a wonderful character.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have enjoyed this series so far.
This has been an interesting detective series, without grotesque detail or cheap personal drama woven in.
Would listen to it again in the future. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Book was beautifully written with particularly good character development. The mystery wasn't complicated but the moral issues were. With virtually no violence, this was a treat to listen to.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Although it is book 2 in this series, it was my first encounter with DC Smith. Very good storyline. I am still holding judgment on the main character. I have recently begun the first book in this series so it seems I am willing to gamble that DC Smith will become someone I want to continue reading about.
