About this listen

The serial killer he couldn’t catch is dead....

Can DI Rob Marshall save his last victim before she dies too?

Met cop DI Rob Marshall is hot on the trail of the serial killer known as the Chameleon, who has abducted, tortured, and killed a series of young women in Northwest London. As they close in, the Chameleon—who switches identity to get close to his victims—shoots Marshall’s partner and escapes.

But when the Chameleon’s body is found two years later, Marshall must return to his home town of Melrose in the Scottish Borders and face the tragedy that’s haunted him for 20 years and made him leave in the first place.

The Chameleon’s final victim is still missing–can Marshall unpick the Chameleon’s latest identity in time to save her from a lonely death?

The Turning of Our Bones is the first book in the DI Rob Marshall series, starring a haunted detective who masks his trauma with biting humour. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, Stuart MacBride, JD Kirk, and LJ Ross.

Very interesting story though I did guess the outcome but won't give anything away unlike another reviewer 😡 and why do people have to do that??? 🤔🤨 I did have to shake my head at the cluelessness of the team at times and how they jumped to conclusions before investigating things fully BUT I'm no cop lol 😅😂🤣 Definitely be following this series 😃👍😁

Great story...perfect narrator as always 😇

A slightly predictable ending for the central character although I did not pick the murderer! As always Angus King did an outstanding job of the narration. The story was strong and the balance of characters suggests there will be great investigations and involvements ahead. Looking forward to the next in the series.

Excellent

I found it a bit hard to follow to start with. The story seemed to drag on but finally got interesting three quarters in I thought it could be the step father. Angus is the reason I chose to listen to the book he dose a fantastic job. I will listen to the other books as they come out.

Long winded
