About this listen

Anarchy hits Dunedin when a cargo ship runs aground on Aramoana Beach amid a crowd of onlookers. One of them discovers a skull in the sand while desperate scavengers fight each other for the best of the bounty.

Waking up to the chaos and hurrying outside to give the police a hand, Detective Constable Sam Shephard cops a wallop before her attacker is himself beaten senseless - and she saves his life in the ambulance. Returning to work, she is sent to help recover a body submerged in the water, the autopsy revealing that this was no accidental drowning but a lethal assault.

The undercurrents from one morning's madness turn out to be far-reaching as Sam begins to tie events together. Who else will be caught in the backwash, with a killer on the loose? Can Sam stem the tide?

I quite enjoy the lightweight crime novels by Vanda Symon, but I find the shrill narration so irritating, so relentlessly upbeat and loud... plus, "that lisp"! I simply cannot understand how Genevieve Swallow could have even been considered for this job. It was like listening to a blackboard being scratched very loudly for 7 and half hours
