Return to Evil

A DCI Harry McNeil Crime Thriller, Book 1

By: John Carson

Narrated by: Angus King

A woman is found in a local cemetery, crushed to death under a gravestone. A production company is there, filming the remake of a classic sci-fi TV show on the grounds, making the investigation more difficult for DCI Harry McNeil.

It's his first day in charge of the cold case unit in Edinburgh. After spending four years in Professional Standards, he has little choice but to take the promotion. The Crown Office decides which cold cases should be reviewed, and this time, they've decided the murder of a teenage girl from 20 years ago should be reopened. A girl who was murdered by somebody pushing a gravestone on top of her....

The case gets more complicated when they find out who the latest victim is. Suddenly there are no shortage of suspects. As the filming continues, so does the killing. And McNeil wonders, has a killer been murdering for 20 years? Or is this case completely unconnected? With Frank Miller's help, he's going to find out...the hard way....

I am willing to give this series a second look

I just hope Harry turns out to be a more stand-up guy than he seems here. The pluses are Scottish location and Angus King, even though the voices for the women were almost identical. Early days I guess.

Wrapped up too quickly but great short one

Should have been a couple more hours to develop more at the end but was a good short story

Excellent narration of a good story

A great start to a new series for me. Just too short.

As usual, Angus King’s reading of the story is brilliant!

Excellent read

I cannot wait for book 2 .Excellent crime story suprise ending .Angus King always delivers

The saga begins

I am drawn in by the banter between Harry and Alex. Angus King has to be the best narrator ever. I am hooked. I just keep rereading book one waiting for the release of the next book. I am waiting for book 17 to be released.
