Summary

Two murders. Two cities. One killer.

During the Edinburgh Festival, DCI Rob Marshall answers a call that lures him to Duddingston Loch, where he witnesses a woman drowning.

At the exact same time and hundreds of miles south in London, Met DI Sam Winter takes the exact same call–and can't save a man from burning to death near the Notting Hill carnival.

Someone is choreographing death across two cities, testing both detectives and forcing them to see what links the victims together—and themselves.

But when the calls turn personal, Marshall realises the next name on the list might be one of their own.

Cuts Both Ways continues the Rob Marshall series, this time on the streets of Edinburgh and London rather than the lanes of Scottish Borders, and introduces DI Sam Winter, whose own series starts in May 2026.

I love this series.
I’m really enjoying how Rob Marshall is evolving & his character is deepening.
I totally did not see the twist with Andrea coming, but she really did deserve to be punished.
Looking forward to the next one & the spin off with Sam Winter.

What a twist!

It was nice to have a story of this length, compared to other authors that sometimes have only 5hrs or so 😵‍💫 this was certainly value for money!
I was surprised at the storyline of Andrea Elliot and can't help but feel empathy towards her, as awful as she is at times 😅 and I hope we hear more about all this... and be interesting to see how the Sam Winter storyline develops 🤔

Interesting story 👍
