Summary

## Can she catch the killer before someone else is silenced for good...?

Detective Hanlon is addicted to violence. She likes the rush, the danger, the losing control...

When Hanlon is suspended from the force for assaulting a suspect, she escapes to the remote Scottish island of Jura, home to the mysterious Corryvreckan whirlpool.

But wherever Hanlon goes, violence is sure to follow.

As soon as she checks into The Mackinnon Arms, Hanlon senses something isn't quite right about the staff at her home for the week.

Sure enough, within days of arriving, the body of a member of staff is found floating in the sea. While police believe she was claimed by the local whirlpool, Hanlon isn't so sure.

As she pieces together the evidence, dark secrets begin to unravel. Can Hanlon work out what is going on before another floating body is found...?

Discover an addictive crime series, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Bryndza and Lisa Regan.

Very enjoyable listen.

A cast of very different individuals. No two people are alike but here we have predominantly non conformists each driven by their own demons. As a result, there are very few left alive by the end of this whodunnit. The correct result brought this tale to a satisfying conclusion but you’ll be hard pushed to predict the ending.
Well worth listening to

Northwest listener

an excellent book, turning it off was challenging and couldn't wait to turn it on again. I found the descriptive elements of West coast of Scotland very interesting. The plot line was even better, I got it wrong till near the end. Great narration great story

I did enjoy this, although a bit too wordy at times. A good ending which was a surprise

Brilliant

Alex Coombs is now on my list of ‘go to’ authors. A thoroughly enjoyable story and extremely well narrated by Carolyn Bonnyman. I’m looking forward to reading the next instalment and I’m pleased to see I have a few to follow on as well.

Good after once you get used to the slow pace

I enjoy this book and I'm glad I continued listening. Pace a bit too slow for my liking and I almost stopped listening after a few minutes but I enjoyed the story and I'm glad I didn't. I'll be listening to book 2 now

Hard work

I found this book long and hard work at times. I’m glad I kept going as it had a great twist but honestly I could have given up easily on more than one occasion but I find it hard to stop any book read or audible… if you have time to kill give it a go.

Great story but...

This is a great thriller. Strong characters, complex plot. It's well read but the audio editor leaves gaps long enough to make you think its died in your ears! Have patience. It's worth it.

Enjoyed

Despite other reviews I did enjoy this book. Easy listening and looking forward to reading the rest in series. A new author for me and I thought the narrator was good

Very entertaining!

I liked the heroine of the story, very attaching with her flaws and weaknesses.
The plot was good, the Scottish accents sometimes a real challenge for a non-native, but the slow pace of the narration made it easier to understand.
All in all, a very nice thriller! With a sequel, I suppose… ;-)
