About this listen

How can DI Clare Mackay uncover the facts if nothing is what it seems?

DI Clare Mackay is called to Albany High, where the body of a girl has been found. A suspected suicide – yet Sophie Bakewell was by all accounts a cheerful, talented student. Could she really have been hiding a darker side?

It's not the only disturbing case to land on Clare's desk. Across town, an elderly man is in danger. Yet before the police can determine the facts, everything changes and they are presented with two suspicious deaths to investigate.

As Clare and her team face the possibility that anything they believe to be true about the deaths is wrong, they might find that a killer can lurk behind the most innocent of faces…

A captivating crime thriller from the queen of Tartan Noir, perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Lin Anderson and JD Kirk.

I could not stop listening to this one. Maybe I just love a great accent! I’m enjoying the characters in this series of crime novels immensely.

Another great Procedural!

This is just what I want in a police procedure detective novel. Good central characters, flawed but likeable. A sound mystery plot with just enough twists to maintain interest. Not so long as to prompt the reader to cry out, "Get on with it!" And my leading two points NOT blurred. (How many more novels will I read where the detective is connected with the crime?) And finally, no secret enchantment with violence, usually as revenge on an archetypal villian. ... Are you listening, US novelists?

Just what you want.

Yet again Clare solves a number of crimes using well reason hypotheses and interesting and effective police procedures! Having Read eight of these novels now, I’m very surprised that she hasn’t achieved the promotion that I’m sure she deserves!

Great story, very well narrated!
