About this listen

When the luxury cruiser, hastily renamed Great Britain, berths in Kinloch harbour, the pressure is on DCI Jim Daley. The UK Government are taking a high-powered group of businessmen and women on a tour of the British isles, golfing and seeing the sights, as part of a push for global trade. But when one of the crew goes missing, and an elderly local ornithologist disappears, will the pressure become too great?

The arrival of a face from the past sends Daley’s world into a tailspin. And the lives of the passengers and crew of SS Great Britain, as well as the country’s economic future are in jeopardy. DS Brian Scott comes to the fore, and replete with a temporary promotion, is once more - most reluctantly, in his case - back at sea.

Daley faces a life and death struggle, but is this his last throw of the dice?

Another great suspense story with so many little threads to remember and unravel, with all the old players involved. I could hardly put it down. I listened all hours of the day and night.
I just hope there's another one soon - don't leave me hanging like this!!!

Thank Goodness for another DCI Daley book!

A nice easy read as usual

He's done it again, another cracker of a tale from Mr Meyrick. Edge of seat, knuckle biting and very wary of who is going to be the next victim. Not any of our faves.....or are they. Fabulous book. Chop chop, next please

Another absolutely enjoyable story.

I love the DCI Daley series, the characters are are engaging and complex, the plots intriguing with a few unexpected twists David Montheath’s narration is wonderful. I have enjoyed each of the books but found this plot particularly interesting, and laughed out loud even more. I didn’t want it to end and was sad when it did

Perhaps the best in the series
