Synopsis

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of The Taken by Alice Clark-Platts, read by Rachel Bavidge.

There's the lost.
There's the missing.
And there's the taken.

She asked me once if we had any secrets, and I shook my head.
'No secrets between us,' she said.
'No,' I answered. 'Never ever.'

In a Durham hotel at dawn, celebrated preacher Tristan Snow is murdered as he prays. None of the other guests - not even his daughter, his wife, or her sister - saw or heard anything.

But then again, they all had a motive for murder.

Detective Inspector Erica Martin is confronted by secrets and lies, lost in a case where nothing is what it seems.

With no answers, DI Martin is consumed by questions: Is anyone in this family innocent? When the victim might have been a monster - is there such a thing as justice? And does anyone deserve to die?

Goodreads review by Jo on January 10, 2017

The second instalment of the DI Erica Martin series offers another slice of quality crime. Martin faces a "perfect storm" of a murder; so many suspects, so many motives, because the victim is even nastier than the killer. These threads are all tied up with string in a satisfying conclusion.......more
