About this listen

DI Colin Anderson is having a bad week. His conviction of paedophile Skelpie Fairbairn is declared unsafe, putting Fairbairn back on Glasgow's streets. Then a succession of strange crimes - a gangster torched alive; a teenage boy tortured then dropped off a bridge; a police suicide; a young girl tied to the river bank and left for the tide – leave Anderson with his hands full and questioning whether this array of evils are all, somehow, linked.

James McP is a great narrator but dear god his Merseyside accent is dire and REALLY grates :-( That aside, good story though I did have to concentrate hard to keep up with who was who. Will listen to another by this author and narrated by JMcP

Dinnae dae a Scouse accent Jamesy!

I love a detective drama and this author is new to me. I have now added all the others in this series to my wish list!
The narration is, of course, superb - I don't know of anyone who does it better than James MacPherson! It's faultless.
I only deducted 1 star for story because, for me, there were too many characters for my poor old brain to keep up with at times toward the end. Nevertheless, I found this book thoroughly engaging and think anyone into crime drama would enjoy it.

Gripping to the end

I stumbled across this writer by reading an amazon review. I don't know why more fuss has not been made about her books. This is the latest in her series of books and I downloaded all 3 available on Audible. What a pity the first in the series is not available.
A worthwhile addition to Tartan Noir

A new way to kill people

The story moves from action to action and is gripping from beginning to end. The violence is gory and graphic but seems to be in keeping with the story; it is not gratuitous as it makes the motivation of Anderson and his team understandable. By using time markers instead of chapters it underlines how much happen in just 24 hours!

The Scotland of this story is well described with lochs, glens and midges; a nice touch and a good backdrop that contrasts with the urban landscape of Glasgow.

The narrator, James MacPherson, is excellent, giving the characters their personality through their speech. A very enjoyable narrative and detective story which questions right and wrong, asking questions about justice so all in all a satisfactory tale.

Excellent narrator, the plot had far too many twists and turns and very hard to follow easily. I will not be reading any more by this author.

Too long, plot too complicated
