Resumen del Editor

Best-selling author Helen Fields is back with her best book yet. A masterful crime thriller that is set to be the most memorable listen of 2022.

One for sorrow, two for joy....

Edinburgh is gripped by the greatest terror it has ever known. A lone bomber is targeting victims across the city, and no one is safe.

Three for a girl, four for a boy....

DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach face death every day - and not just the deaths of the people being taken hostage by the killer.

Five for silver, six for gold....

When it becomes clear that with every tip-off they are walking into a trap designed to kill them, too, Ava and Luc know that finding the truth could mean paying the ultimate price.

Seven for a secret never to be told....

But with the threat - and body count - rising daily, and no clue as to who’s behind it, neither Ava nor Luc know whether they will live long enough to tell the tale....

With twists and turns you’ll never see coming, prepare to be gripped by this devastatingly good thriller. Perfect for fans of Stuart MacBride and MJ Arlidge.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An emotionally charged and superbly gripping thriller that kept me turning those page until the early hours! Masterly plotted, not to be missed." (Jane Isaac, author of An Unfamiliar Murder)

Another Excellent Listen!

As per usual, Ms. Fields writes an engrossing Scottish police procedural and crime thriller. DI Callanach and DCI Ava Turner lead a group enjoyable characters through criminal cases in Edinburgh. Mr. Laing employs a listenable Scottish brogue and narrates beautifully. Highly recommended!

Brilliantly written but so sad.

Wow. This is one of my favorite series and each book has been expertly crafted and held my attention throughout. This one hooked me in from the beginning but as the twists became turns, I listened in stunned silence. If you love a good mystery, you won’t be disappointed but this one will stay with you long after you’ve finished.

One of the very best!

I could not stop listening. I love the characters and how each plot is tied off. If the next book was available now I would be listening to it now instead of writing this review!

Helen...you're a jerk

Amazing book as usual. Incredible really. Its the kind of book you can't stop listening to and keeps you constantly guessing and engaged. That being said the title of this review is accurate and I applaude Helen for making such a damn good and painful book.

Nooooooo

There must be a next book soon soon!!
We need to know now please
It can’t end this way

Fantastic Narrator and Brilliant, Entertaining and Surprising Storyline

I've been a reader/listener to the DI Callenach series of books since I first stumbled upon them, and this one absolutely does not disappoint. Robin Laing is brilliant, as always, and brings every character to life in exactly the way I always hope for when listening to an audio book -- they are each distinctive, and each has their own accent, as appropriate; but they are not simply characatures with silly voices (I will never forget fearing -- unnecessarily, thank goodness! -- upon listening to 'Perfect Remains' for the first time, that DI Callenach would come across as sounding like Savoir Faire from the 'Klondike Kat' cartoons).
I will admit that my absolute favorite takeaway from this installment is the character of Dr. Connie Woolwine, the profiler; I recall thinking after her appearance in the story,that I hoped Helen Fields would do more with Dr. Woolwine in future, as she was so wonderfully sculpted and brilliant. Needless to say, I am now off to purchase a copy of Fields' 'The Institution.'
'One for Sorrow' is brilliant, fast-paced, heart-rending, surprising, and more than worth the credit/purchase price.

Ohhh...

What a horrible ending!!!!
How could you???
I am so disappointed after all that I have listened to....to this end????

What the heck?!?

If Luke isn’t in the next book I don’t think I’ll read it! I hope there is a next book.

An easy 5

I forgot to go to bed. This book just got better and better. The author describes bomb scenes by
squeezing past them as she focuses on the police
Investigation and some ivery interesting characters. This is so very good!

Say it ain’t so!

Honestly devastated I don’t have more to listen to. I want this series to go on forever. This book was outstanding. The character development throughout this series has been so addicting. I know them and I miss them already. Not to mention the brilliant storytelling. I’ve been captivated since book 1. Hoping there are more to come 🤞🏽???
