About this listen

When the body of a red-haired young man is washed up on the shore of the beautiful Isle of Mull, Detective Superintendent Lorimer's tranquil holiday away from the gritty streets of Glasgow is rudely interrupted. The body has been bound with twine in a ghoulishly unnatural position and strongly reminds Lorimer of another murder: a twenty-year-old Glasgow case that he failed to solve as a newly fledged detective constable and which has haunted him ever since.

As local cop DI Stevie Crozier takes charge of the island murder investigation, Lorimer tries to avoid stepping on her toes. But as the similarities between the young man's death and his cold case grow more obvious, Lorimer realises that there could be a serial killer on the loose after all these years.

As Keep the Midnight Out switches dramatically between the Mull murder and the Glasgow cold case two decades earlier, DC Lorimer tries desperately to catch a cold-hearted killer. Has someone got away with murder for decades?

Lorimer is such an excellent character. The interplay with the central characters was enjoyable yet again and this series simply gets better. The narration is perfect. I was sure I knew the culprit but again there was a little twist that just made the whole story more interesting. Beautiful description of Mull.

Always a great read and listen

A fan of Alex Gray. Have read and enjoyed all her books.
Nor Dunlop narrated the book well. Voice not grating like some.

Great book

Found it extremely difficult to get into the story (5 plus attempts) as last book Maggie Lorimer has a hysterectomy but in the next book she is pregnant. Very Dallas. Extremely disappointing given the quality of story.
