About this listen
A secluded island. A missing woman. An impossible choice.
Detective Inspector Karen Eiken Hornby is not the only person to have returned to her native island nation, Doggerland, after years abroad. Following a ten-year hiatus, Luna has chosen to secretly record her comeback album where she was born and raised. Spirits are high among her team at the wrap party, though Karen is less than impressed with the simpering singer. The next morning, Luna is nowhere to be found.
Nothing goes unnoticed in the tight-knit community—certainly not the arrival, or disappearance, of a world-famous singer. So, while the rest of the force is frantically searching for a suspect whose brutal attacks on women are increasing in intensity and frequency, a reluctant Karen is tasked with discreetly looking into Luna's whereabouts.
As time ebbs away so does the possibility of finding Luna alive, while Karen faces seemingly impossible choices, ones that could spell life or death, both for herself and others.

Good story, narrator not so good
Did not like the narrator at all which was a disappointment as I had been looking forward to continuing the series

Disappointed with choice of narrator
This release really needed the original narrator, I missed Hattie and I felt that Karen was losing her marbles for much of the book, which was obviously not the narrator's fault but that of the author, but the narrator amplified this feeling and for the first part of the story creates a feeling of gloom, which, it has to be said, she was truly fabulous at doing.
The story itself does pick up later in the book and becomes far less annoying but even then, the narrator still makes things feel gloomy, I was probably just expecting too much as I was very keen to listen to this book so I'd recommend listening to the sample and seeing what you think , I pre-ordered it unknowing of the future narrator, I would probably still have ordered it though, I very much enjoyed books 1 and 2, this one is still a good book, even though Karen is very annoying in places.

I couldn’t listen to this audiobook
This is the 3rd book in a trilogy and Books 1 & 2 were great stories and excellently narrated by Hattie Ladbury. Sadly the narrator changed to Joan Walker and her voice is so monotonal and irritating that I cannot listen to it. I only got to chapter 3. I’m usually very flexible with narrators but this is just awful. It’s particularly annoying as it’s the last in a great trilogy, with the first 2 books being compelling, suspenseful and thought provoking. I have given this story 3 stars but that’s only because I had to give a rating to be able to submit this review. I will buy the last book and read it myself, but why does audible do this? Can’t they contract one person for three books? It’s so disappointing.

Mixed bag
As with all Doggerland stories this is a great romp. Complex and layered, with interesting characters and good back stories. However, hugely struggled with the narration. It wasn’t great and distracted from the story a lot. Made it much less enjoyable. If there’s more in this brilliant series I wouldn’t buy if it was this narrator again.

Disappointing narrator
1,2 & 3 are fantastic stories that I really enjoyed reading. I loved Hattie Ladbury’s narration. So sad to learn she has died.
The new narrator was awful and completely spoiled number 3.

Thrilling
A brilliant 3rd book in the series. If reading on audible, and you have loved and listened to the previous narrator I recommend playing on +.15 of your normal speed. Struggled at the start but found my way. Best series in a long time.

Wow.
Wow. "Cruel Tides" is one of the best mysteries I have ever read - Maria Adolfsson is a master storyteller. Immersive, fast-paced and addictively good, "Cruel Tides" takes your breath away and you simply can't put the book down.

Good story. Terrible narration.
Really enjoyed the first book and the narrator, but unfortunately the narrator for this particular book, ruined the story meaning I stopped listening after a few chapters.

Great trilogy, romped through them all.
Interesting and fast paced unputdownable. Female detective without the nonsense of women being better than men and visa versa the feminism is there but not strangling the stories like so many these days. Interesting plots and revelations- enjoyed them all. Excellent!
