About this listen
A cold case that’s no longer cold. A suspect who’s been murdered. A silenced witness.
"A brilliant debut."—Steve Cavanagh
"True fans of Val McDermid will love Payne's writing.”—A. J. West
"One of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction."—Kia Abdullah
DI Sheridan Holler is used to solving crimes on Liverpool’s streets, but after a decayed corpse turns up in a cemetery, she finds herself reopening not one but two cold cases. Seven years earlier, two women were gunned down and the only suspect, small-time drug dealer John Lively, was never seen again. Case closed. Until the body in the cemetery is identified as his.
Holler needs to work out if Lively was killed out of revenge, or was just a victim of the criminal world he inhabited. When shocking evidence is revealed about the murder weapon, Holler’s cold case starts to look hopeless once more.
But defeat is not an option. Driven by the unsolved and traumatic murder of her brother when they were children, DI Holler’s pursuit of justice is relentless. As old wounds are reopened, the police close in on the killer, but the threat of them striking again is all too real. Can DI Holler put the pieces of the puzzle together before anyone else winds up dead?

Long Time Dead
A really complicated plot excellently presented. A very well written book with plenty of wrists and turns.
Many thanks!

Very Good.
Long time Dead is my first venture in to T.M. Paynes writing and I liked it. Good story with well developed characters who it was easy to find yourself rooting for. Good pace with twists and turns it keeps the listener intrigued. Heather Bleasdale was good as the narrator and kept the story flowing well. Recommended and I'm looking forward to picking up book 2 at some point.

Loved it, hope there are many more.
Story was brilliant with plenty of I wasn’t expecting that, a plus for me was not having the awful broad put on scouse accent, just about to start the next one.

the story itself
my first proper audiobook that was not read by the writer and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sheridan is a copper in Liverpool with a team of colleagues who would do anything for her.
Jeff Nicholls is a bent copper who is hiding who he really is in plain sight.
would highly recommend this book especially when you have a long car journey because believe you me you won't be able to press that pause button

Brilliant!
Before the end of the first chapter I knew this was a book I was going to like. But I was wrong - I loved it! It's chock full of likeable and relatable characters (as well as a few unsavoury possibly relatable ones!) and a storyline with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. I love a good detective story and this hit the spot!
