About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The clock is ticking…

Detective Constable Angus MacVicar has just landed his dream job – transferred out of uniform and assigned to Oldcastle’s biggest ongoing murder investigation: Operation Telegram, hunting the “Fortnight Killer”.

Every two weeks another couple is targeted. One victim is left at the scene, their corpse used as a twisted message board. The second body is never seen again.

This should be the perfect chance for Angus to prove himself, but instead of working on the investigation’s front line, he’s lumbered with the forensic psychologist from hell. A jetlagged, sarcastic, know-it-all American, on loan from the FBI, who seems determined to alienate everyone while dragging Angus into a shadowy world of conspiracies, lies, and violence.

It’s been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and the investigation’s running out of time. The darkness is growing, and if Angus isn’t careful, it’ll swallow him whole…

I loved this audiobook. I’m always desperate for Stuart MacBride books and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Brilliant characters and so cleverly descriptive you can easily envisage it all. I disagree with some reviews which felt it was too long. It’s such a joy to listen to Angus King bring MacBride’s words to life that I just got lost in it and binge listened. Hopefully we will have more of this unlikely duo.
