About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An unmissable thriller from the number one bestselling author.

Who do you trust when everyone's guilty?

Marky Bishop is dying. That's why they've given him a compassionate early release, only where can a career criminal like him go to spend his final months?

From the outside, Glenfarach looks like a quaint, sleepy, snow-dusted village, nestled deep in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, but things aren't what they seem. The place is thick with security cameras, and there's a strict nine o'clock curfew, because Glenfarach is the last safe haven for people who've served their sentences but can't be safely released into the general population.

For Detective Constable Edward Reekie, this was supposed to be a simple delivery job—drive his new boss up to HMP Grampian and collect Marky Bishop, take him to Glenfarach, then head back home again. Nothing dangerous or complicated.

So how could it all go so horribly wrong?

The weather's closing in, tensions are mounting, and time's running out—something nasty has come to Glenfarach, and Edward is standing right in its way....

I nearly stopped listening early on because of Victoria’s voice. Hated it. Also felt the fight sequences were too long. And what was the outcome of the missing safety deposit boxes? All a bit unsatisfying. Usually like this author. Very disappointed.

Poor voice personification

Once again Stuart MacBride pulls a rabbit from the hat. Another wonderfully created anti-hero in Edward Reekie who brings along a great heaping of humour, empathy and bumbling to keep the tale whirring along. Aided by a great cast of character and its a tale with more twists and turns than the road to Glenfarach.

Beginning of a great friendship

I really enjoyed the concept and wondered where it would lead to.
A interesting development of characters. However some of the reading didn’t work.

Will this be followed up on

I tried to persevere with the narration but the shorting and breathing got to me.

Annoying narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I had no real issues with the narration Bigtoria's voice was a little grating but fitted my my minds picture of her.
Love the books, love the stories bring back Laz & Roberta
DC Reekie is no Rennie but he still makes a great sidekick

I was ok with the narration.
