About this listen

A number one Scottish crime best seller from Denzil Meyrick; James Machie was a man with a genius for violence, his criminal empire spreading beyond Glasgow into the UK and mainland Europe.

Fortunately, James Machie is dead, assassinated in the back of a prison ambulance following his trial and conviction. But now, five years later, he is apparently back from the grave, set on avenging himself on those who brought him down.

Top of his list is his previous associate, Frank MacDougall, who unbeknownst to D.C.I. Jim Daley, is living under protection on his lochside patch, the small Scottish town of Kinloch. Daley knows that, having been the key to Machie's conviction, his old friend and colleague D.S. Scott is almost as big a target. And nothing, not even death, has ever stood in James Machie's way....

I listened to this right after listening to book one and found it just as enjoyable. Probably more so really because I got to know more of the ongoing characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the story which does take a couple of really unexpected turns to add to the intrigue.
The violence could be a little "bloody" for some but it certainly doesn't drive the story
Another excellent narration from David Monteith.
Looking forward to book 3

another good story

Thrilling

I'm familiar with both the Australian and Scottish areas depicted in this book and they ring true. Also the Scottish accents - the narrator does a very convincing range of voices. Engaging plot, believable characters - a great listen.

Very authentic

Less drama and more action in the 2nd D.C.I Daley thriller! Thoroughly enjoyable read, if you liked book 1, you'll love book 2.

Loved it.

This is the second in the series and good enough to have me buy the third book. The depth in this is getting better more roots in the soil so to speak - buy the first, then this, and then see (if like me) you buy the next. If your from Scotland but don't live there anymore you will enjoy this.

This is good

I loved the story but the voice was terrible at times it was hard to understand

ok

The narration was once more amazing with the various characters. the author's descriptions of an area of Scotland I know well, were excellent. Female charterers are a bit tropey, as were the 'twists' at the end. Still enjoyable.

Another great reading by David Monteath
