About this listen

Blair Charlston swapped the stock market for salvation - and now he's making a killing.

Once a controversial venture capitalist, Charlston reinvented himself as a personal and business development guru after surviving an attempt to take his own life when a business deal went disastrously wrong. So when he decides to host a weekend retreat on the outskirts of Stirling for more than 300 people, Connor Fraser is drafted in to cover the security for a man who is at once idolised as a saviour and hated as a ruthless asset stripper.

For Connor, it's an unwelcome assignment. He's never had much time for salvation by soundbite, and Charlston's notoriety is attracting the attention of reporter Donna Blake, who's asking more questions than Connor has answers for.

But when an old colleague of Donna's is found brutally bludgeoned to death and the start of Charleston's weekend of salvation becomes a literal trial by fire, Connor must race to unmask a killer whose savagery is only matched by their cunning.

Critic Reviews

"A true rising star of crime fiction." (Ian Rankin)

"Tense, fast-moving and bloody. Broadfoot's best yet." (Mason Cross)

"Beautifully crafted.... There's no filler, no exposition, just action, dialogue and layering of tension that'll hold you breathless until the very end." (Helen Fields)

Story was easier to follow than book 1 and character development is really getting into place.

A good story, and I'm about to download book 3!

Definite Improvement

Angus King is such a good narrator - I could listen to almost anything he reads!
Whilst there were surprising twists to the plot iin a couple of places, it was generally not enthralling - pretty much a simple plot line, followed by an angry former policeman, now security person, with a temper and needing anger management.
Language is a bit rough ... could do without some of it!
Saved by th re narrator, I think.

This is a book that goes on and on. I really like the narrator Angus King but boy did he have a difficult job. So many names such a lot of fisty cuffs lots of broken limbs. Wouldn’t read Neil Broadfoot again.

What a trial

so I came across these books searching for Angus King narrated books in between waiting for the next JD Kirk, Ed James, Neil Lancaster or JM Dagliesh book. I enjoy these stories well enough but the repetitive nature of the descriptions drives me crazy! 'like the contrast of the world has been turned up' things 'tumbling through the mind' or the icy stab of something .. if the author could come up with some new descriptors would be great, got 1 minute into the 3rd book and actually yelled out in frustration when the contrast thing came up AGAIN!
Angus's performance definitely save them from the repetitive nature of the plot and use of phrasing but not sure I'll continue if book 3 is the same, we shall see...

Angus is the man
