Can You Guess

This is another story taking you to the wild and woolly Isle of Skye again. What seems as an accident isn't and the intrigue and lies never fail, Duncan has his own personal issues laid on him whilst dealing with the case. Kept me listening finished in a day plus I just love Angus King narrating he never fails to bring all the characters to life with the story, Looking forward to the next in the series.

Great narration

Well paced and nicely developed characters. Yet another bulls eye by the author and the perfect choice of narrator

the Isle of Skye

More often than not, the weather on the Isle of Skye must really suck. Almost to the point where you wonder why anyone would live there. But then, you have the locals who just deal with it and life goes on.

In this book, the police strive to solve a murder that happened on a local mountain. And they are often out in the elements working the crime and they always seem to be bundling up to protect themselves from the wind, the sleet, the snow, the cold, all of the above.

It's a good little mystery and with a good little personal touch as well.

really like the characters

I wasn't sure about book one but took a chance on book two. really enjoying this writer and the character development.
looking forward to book three.

Interesting series

I’m enjoying the series so far. Wished I understood more about Duncan. I do however really dislike Becky. I hope her character improves or is featured less.

LOVED the setting and the mystery! Wonderfully narrated

I just couldn’t get enough of the twist and turns of this story. I absolutely love the geography and the beautiful descriptions of the land and the coastlines. Fell in love with Duncan McAdam almost instantly. All of the other detectives were excellent additions to the law-enforcement team. I would love to read more in this series, but….. I won’t be reading more because I could not tolerate the character of Becky and the whiny manipulative hold she had on Duncan. If she wasn’t in this book, I would already be halfway through the next book in the series.

D.I. McAdam and the women in his life

Why does this writer create all these manufactured tensions with women in books one and two? The issues are cliche’, silly, trite and distracting. I’ll continue with this series if the author drops all the man-hating-splaining and writes some realistic relationships for McAdams to experience with the opposite gender. Currently his writer’s quiver is full of hot buttons.

Terrific narrator; great story

A very interesting investigation with several potential outcomes. It’s good to get back with “the team” and discover more about Duncan and his early life on Skye.

I can’t say enough about Angus King’s narration.

Finally someone who will stand against domestic violence!

Loved it all! We all screw up. We all have to face our demons. It is the honorable who face them, hate doing it, but do it well. Face temptation and turn away. Great narrator.

Gripping

Deeply human characters and suspense that leaps off the page will keep you up all night just to finish. Be sure to start early in the day so you can get a good night's rest. Unless you start the next book in the series; in which case it's a flashlight under the covers!
