Publisher Description
Two young British students, Nazim Jamal and Rafi Hassan, vanish without a trace. The police write them off as runaways, but seven years later, Nazim's grief stricken mother is still unconvinced. Jenny Cooper is finally settling into her role as Coroner for the Severn Valley; the ghosts of her past banished to the sidelines once more. But as an inquest into Nazim's disappearance gets underway, the stink of corruption and conspiracy becomes clear. As the pressure from above increases, a code of silence is imposed and events begin to spiral out of control, pushing Jenny to the breaking point. For how could she have known that by unravelling the mysteries of the disappeared, she would begin to unearth her own buried secrets?

Quotes
-
“Sian Thomas narrates this multilayered British mystery with pitch-perfect British, Irish, and Pakistani accents. He imbues characters with distinct personalities through vocal shading and tone. Thomas’s skillful weaving of the interplay between MacAvoy and Cooper is consistent and believable. His excellent performance culminates with a shock ending.”

— Booklist -
“A brilliant, original and gripping crime novel.”
— Sophie Hannah, international bestselling author of Little Face -

— Guardian (London) -
“M.R. Hall…writes convincingly and compellingly of the difficulties facing anybody who dares to challenge a crushing and often corrupt system in an attempt to establish the truth.”
— Daily Mail (London) -

" The book I'm read from iBooks is titled The Innocent (A coroner) by the same author M R Hall; it was a great short making me want more of the Jenny Cooper series :) "
— Lucia, 10/14/2013 -
" Rather than the thriller I expected, this book was more of a British crime novel--complex and slower-paced. It wasn't a bad read, but I have so many books that I wanted to read more right now. Will probably come back to it someday "
— Evelyn, 9/30/2013 -
" Exciting sequel to the coroner. "
— Tessa, 8/7/2013 -
" Quite readable, but a bit slow to start. I'm not sure how much I have missed of characters etc by not reading the first book in the series, I may have to go and ead that one now! "
— Steff, 7/20/2013 -
" Another cracker in this series! "
— Lindsay, 5/1/2013 -
" This book seemed to go on & on & on & on. Thank goodness I am finished with it. May have been an interesting premise but so dulllllll. "
— Becky, 3/27/2013 -
" A slow starter, but picked up pace as I progressed. Getting to like this series more and will read book #3 when I get a chance. "

" Can't recommend this author enough ;-) "
— Vicky, 11/8/2012 -
" A good second in the series, was a bit slow st times which required some of the one off characters inn this story a bit flat. Less nicely into the rest of the series which I will pick up and read. "
— Iain, 12/10/2011 -
" Really liked the problems faced by the main character - her limitations and weaknesses. a good read. "
— Cathy, 8/12/2011 -
" I thought it was fascinating how many seemingly random things were suddenly important by the end. I also really like Jenny Cooper because of her flaws, not in spite of them. "
— Melanie, 4/7/2011 -
" I love Jenny Cooper! These books are as addictive as Karin Slaughter. "
— Ellemiek, 12/13/2010 -
" Darn!! Not only did I not realize this was a second in a series, after I resolved to just read this one because I like Jenny the coroner, they included an epilogue with a total cliff hanger. What tzorris! "
