Summary

The summit was just a few more minutes’ climb as the bottle slipped from his weakening grip. He was aware that he was dying. Not here. Not now. Not alone. Through the pain, his mind screamed a silent final eulogy.

When a distillery owner's body is discovered on top of a remote Scottish mountain, forensics confirm that he died of natural causes. But the dead man's sister claims he was murdered.

As Detective Inspector Corstorphine delves into the victim's family, disturbing questions emerge. Why is the daughter kept sedated and locked in her room? Who is stalking the son as he scatters his father's ashes on lonely mountain peaks? Each clue–from a haunting painting defaced in blood to a deadly botanical poison–points to someone with intimate knowledge of the family.

Then a young woman’s suicide becomes entwined with the case, and Corstorphine must confront a killer whose vengeance traces back to a childhood act with devastating consequences.

From a CWA New Blood Dagger Longlist author and McIlvanney Best Scottish Crime Novel Finalist, The Devil’s Cut weaves a haunting tale of family loyalty and unspoken truths in this atmospheric Scottish crime thriller. If you love LJ Ross, Ian Rankin and Ann Cleeves you’ll love Andrew James Greig.

I thought I had the whole story worked out a few hours before the end but no 😅 some parts were a surprise...however...the storyline also spoke about "diversity training" that one of the police officers had attended, and the times when obviously they didn't use what they'd learnt much to the frustration and judgement of the others; nothing major, BUT then throughout the book a suspect was referred to by a nickname because of how he looked, all of them didn't use his real name at all. He could hardly be held responsible for his appearance 😒 or the circumstances in which he was brought up and I'm not saying I was sympathetic, but really?🙄 I think the author needs his own training 🤨 it just didn't make sense 😳

interesting story conclusion satisfying 😊

I found the story fascinating and wanted a little more depth of characters, however I sense this author is just warming up. I'm looking forward to the next book.

Great concepts, great weekend read
