Maureen O'Donnell is a psychiatric patient, stuck in an affair with Douglas, a shady therapist. She’s about to end it with him when she wakes up one morning to find him in her living room with his throat slit. Viewed by the police as both a suspect and a witness, even Maureen’s family suspects her. Panic-stricken, she retraces Douglas' last days, finding a trail of rape and deception at a psychiatric hospital where she’d been an inmate. The patients won't talk and staff are afraid. Then a second brutalised corpse is discovered and Maureen realises that her life is in danger.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 3
It’s the case that could make DS Alex Morrow’s career. A suburban home invaded in the dead of night and a vulnerable old man taken hostage. It’s a black and white case and it shouldn’t be hard to solve… The two strangers who forced their way into the house demanded millions the family didn’t have and shouted for a man nobody had heard of. It had to be a mistake, and a bad one at that. But Alex Morrow can’t be depended on and the bosses know it.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 35
It is a cold January morning and Shetland lies buried beneath a deep layer of snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunter's eye is drawn to a vivid splash of colour on the white ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbour Catherine Ross. The locals on the quiet island stubbornly focus their gaze on one man – loner and simpleton Magnus Tait. But when police insist on opening out the investigation a veil of suspicion and fear is thrown over the entire community. For the first time in years, Catherine's neighbours nervously lock their doors, whilst a killer lives on in their midst.

Publisher's Summary
Maureen O'Donnell is facing the darkest episode in her life. She owes more than she makes in a year in back taxes; Angus Farrell, the psychologist who murdered her boyfriend, is up for trial; and her abusive father has arrived back in Glasgow. On top of it all, she has become embroiled in someone else's family feud.
Ella McGee, an elderly stallholder at the fleamarket where Maureen is selling illegally imported cigarettes, is bringing a case against her son in the small claims court. When Ella dies in hospital after a brutal beating, Maureen finds herself becoming involved. Soon she too is under threat - and this time she has very few protectors.

The final installment of Denise Mina's wonderful Garnethill trilogy; I thought it was a great ending and I'm sad it's over. More generally though I would urge anyone who's thinking of reading/listening to one of DM's novels to just take the plunge. She's a brilliant writer and I find it odd that she doesn't seem to attract the big numbers of readers/reviewers that Val Mcdermid does (apols if I've spelled Val's surname wrong - if I leave this page to Google her I'm convinced that everything I've written here will vanish into Android-limbo) especially as Val cites Denise as being her ultimate crime writer.
Katy Anderson's narration is absolutely sublime. For some reason she can take a while to get warmed up; and some of the excerpts that Audible has provided are rather plodding. Please please give her a chance: I thought she was awful at first but once you're about ten minutes into the book, she's on fire! She's more like a full-cast reading than a narrator: the richness she brings to all the different characters is hugely impressive. She also brings DM's ready humour to life to an extent whereby she doesn't just leave the listener laughing, she actually makes herself chuckle as she reads, which - to me at least - makes the whole thing even more hilarious.
Initially I was gutted to find that DM's earlier novels weren't narrated by the same actor who does the Alex Morrow series (sorry but I can't recall her name right now - is it Catherine Mc-something...?) because she's so utterly brilliant and seemed to me to be unmatchable. I now feel that she and Katy A are just different, and I'd struggle to rate one over the other. But I would say that Katy A is *at least* the equal of the later narrator, and is arguably even more skilled in terms of how she crafts the narration.
Highly recommended.
