Publisher's Summary

Detective Hanlon is addicted to violence. She likes the rush, the danger, losing control....

When Hanlon is suspended from the force for assaulting a suspect, she escapes to the remote Scottish island of Jura, home to the mysterious Corryvreckan whirlpool.

But wherever Hanlon goes, violence is sure to follow.

As soon as she checks into The Mackinnon Arms, Hanlon senses something isn't quite right about the staff at her home for the week.

Sure enough, within days of arriving, the body of a member of staff is found floating in the sea. While police believe she was claimed by the local whirlpool, Hanlon isn't so sure.

As she pieces together the evidence, dark secrets begin to unravel. Can Hanlon work out what is going on before another floating body is found?

The start of a gripping new crime series, perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Robert Bryndza and Lisa Regan.

Poor plot construction

If this was the first Hanlon book I'd read, I'd have never read another. Slow, disjointed and Hanlon is both obnoxious and incredibly obtuse in this book. No character of any worth.
The only consolation and reason I continued was the narrator. She's exceptional.

Good story, a little predictable

Listening on Audible, it was a great performance and a good story. Could see the ending coming a mile away, which is unusual for me, but it didn't ruin the story, I'll be looking for the next novel in the series for sure

Perfect Narrator.

All narrators of detective stories should be Scottish. And they should all be set in Scotland!
Loved this, will now listen to the series. I hope there's lots!

Such a great character

Hanlon is such a great character and a fabulous female character of this genre. She’s smart resourceful, cranky, flawed and loveable nonetheless. Love the lone wolf aspect and set in such a remote location. Would definitely want to listen to more books in the series.
