About this listen

The Silent Quarry is the first audiobook in a series of murder mysteries featuring the perceptive but reclusive and love-shy detective DI Winter Meadows.

One morning, Gwen Thomas takes a short walk with her Siberian husky in the outskirts of the Welsh town she calls home. She is drawn to a desolate area where, some 20 years ago as a teenager, she was brutally attacked and her friend killed. Disorientated by a sudden rush of memories, she has a fall. Later, recovering in hospital, she begins to recollect the events that led up to her friend’s death.

DI Winter Meadows is encouraged to reopen what has for some time been a cold case. If Gwen can remember who attacked her, it could lead to a prosecution. But not everyone wants Gwen to recover her memory. Having got over her fall, she now faces a greater danger - from whoever else knows what actually happened.

kept me entertained throughout

A fairly easy plot. Defined characters without the excessive antagonisms that seems to have become the norm.

something different

Best story I've listened to for ages. The plot is different, and keeps you guessing. I like it when the narrator has the correct accent for the area in which a story is based. Helps you 'get the feel' of the place and characters. Will definitely be giving her other books a listen.

Twists and turns

This seemed to get off to a slow start and at first I was rather bored. However I have to say that once this has grabbed my attention I found it hard to put down.
