About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
The clock is ticking…
Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job – transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the “Fortnight Killer”.
Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again.
This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigation’s front line, he’s lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A jetlagged, sarcastic, know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence.
It’s been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation’s running out of time. The darkness is growing, and if Angus isn’t careful, it’ll swallow him whole…

Stuart MacBride is Back!!
I absolutely loved this book, the story kept me gripped from beginning to end and Angus King is the best narrator out there by a country mile - Stuart + Angus = Win Win!!
I loved the new characters - Angus is a total hero and I couldn't help comparing him and Dr Fife to characters from Game of Thrones, utterly brilliant!
I really hope this becomes a new series (but not until after the next Logan McRae).

Captivating. I love MacBride’s writing. His sense of humour shines thru. Looking forward to the next one in this series.

An all round excellent listen
I'll keep away entirely from the plot and focus instead on the two things I loved most about this. I'm a long time fan of Mr MacBride's work and yet I would say I probably enjoyed this book the most of any from the last few years. So, thing one Ii loved was the range of vivid characters in this story. The two main protagonists, Angus and Jonathan make for an excellent and humorous odd couple and this ensures the story is carried along at a good pace. The second thing I loved was the 5 star performance of the narrator. His range of accents and delivery are terrific and even his female voices are convincing, especially that of Gillian. Overall, if you like a good tartan noir crime story, then you'll definitely love this audiobook.

Can do no wrong
If you like Stuart MacBride, you'll like this.
It's full of the humour, intrigue, and the real life interactions that makes his work believable and his characters so real.
It took a little longer to get into (because I've been spoiled by his battery of existing characters) but the journey and delivery are as great as you hoped they would be.
In terms of narrator, I'm a big Steve Worsley fan, so while Angus was good, I'd prefer Steve.

Good
Although it looks a long book, Stuart's writing keeps the story going well so you don't notice the hours go by.
I did guess as to what was going on, but nonetheless a great listen, as always, when listening to Angus.
