About this audiobook
‘Highly recommended. Crime Writing at its very best’ – Kate Rhodes on The Last Straw, book 1 in the DCI Warren Jones series
How do you catch a man’s killer when everyone wanted him dead?In Middlesbury, a rally is being held by the British Allegiance Party – a far-right group protesting against the opening of a new Mosque.
When the crowd disperses, a body is found in an alleyway. Tommy Meegan, the loud-mouthed leader of the group, has been stabbed through the heart.
Across town, a Muslim community centre catches fire in a clear act of arson, leaving a small child in a critical condition. And the tension which has been building in the town for years boils over.
DCI Warren Jones knows he can’t afford to take sides – and must solve both cases before further acts of violent revenge take place. But, in a town at war with itself, and investigating the brutal killing of one of the country’s most-hated men, where does he begin?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the 4th book in the series & they just keep getting better! I'm looking forward to the rest. The characters are really well written. The cases are good without being dull or typical.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I found this to be the first book in the series that was slower paced, and less intriguing. It’s still important to character development as you continue through the series but the case in and of itself wasn’t my cup of tea.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There was a lot going on in this one and it felt a bit out of control at times. Once one of the cases had been solved, the other dragged on a bit, although there were a couple of shockers at the very end.
