Summary
A potent new drug has hit the streets of Kinloch, and DCI Daley and Scott are struggling to catch the notorious gang behind this evil trade.
After a party of Oxford students arrives in town for a camping trip before a Himalayan expedition, one of the group seeks out an illegal high and is violently assaulted. However, these students are well connected, and this brings further unexpected problems for Daley. Ultimately, he and Scott will discover crimes as disturbing in nature as anything they have ever confronted.

Lost the plot
I've read every book in this series and have loved every one - until now. This felt forced and fragmented. The story jumps around with elements left undeveloped, leaps of intuition by the police and threads left hanging at the end. It almost feels like pages are missing. Even the usually sparkling banter between Scott and Daley feels forced and a bit cringe. The whole thing is saved, to a degree, by the brilliant narration of David Monteath.

A poor addition to the series
the story itself is disjointed and unrewarding, the usual humor but this time feels more like flogging a dead horse. The once hilarious misaprehensions from Scott just fall into a formula that at times are so obtuse they are unbelievable. The overarching theme i thought was a bit cheap too, messed up drug themed book while your lead character gets hooked on drugs only just having recovered from life threatening heart problem, not really that compelling as its just constant problems so it all sort of looses its meaning.

Confusing story, unpleasant characters, lots of loose ends
As others have said this is a slightly disappointing addition to the Jim Daley novels with too many unpleasant and uninteresting characters, all drawn implausibility together in a rush at the end. Also a bit of a maudlin feel which left me with the glums, as Hamish would have said.

Loved this latest installment ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is always one of my favourite series, and the comical antics of Daley & Scott had me howling with laughter several times.
Lots of intrigue and twists as the story built as always.
Brilliant writing and fantastic narration once again. Long may this series continue!

Poor dialogue. Lazy cliched characters
Nowhere near as good as the earlier books which focused more on local characters and the sea.

Good but not as good as previous books
The narration was perfection as always thanks to David Monteith. But the storyline felt unfinished, too many loose ends, no real conclusion, just simmered at the end. Felt like the author couldn't find a way to tie it all together.

Another well narrated Daley story but not as resolved as I’d like
Narration is always excellent and the characters now feel like old friends as we journey alongside them.
I felt there were some unresolved issues - the sudden ceasing of pain, who kidnapped Delph…. It didn’t spoil my enjoyment though as I love this series and still strongly recommend it

No as good as previous
Although I enjoyed this book it wasn't as good as the previous ones in the series. Give us more Hamish and his ramblings.

Excellent narration by David Monteath
The narration is what kept me going. I have read all this series of books from ‘Kinloch’ and loved them - this one, as other have said is just a wee bit disappointing. Too many unresolved issues and a rushed ending. What was the significance of the two severed fingers? I have fingers crossed (!) that the next one will be better or I will drop the series.
