Publisher's summary

Detective Inspector Munro is a burly Scottish policeman who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Detective Sergeant West is an intelligent young woman, new to the force, with a lot to prove. 

When a missing person case lands on their desks, Munro is skeptical there is much to it. But their investigation soon comes to some strange findings, and before long a body is found. 

With a serial killer on their hands, they must act fast to trace a woman placed at the scene of the crime. Yet discovering her true identity, let alone finding her, proves difficult. And as the plot thickens they realise the crime is far graver than either of them could have imagined.

Excellent

Great writing. I will definitely order the next one. Lots of interesting characters and 0 boring stuff. So glad I found a new author that keeps and holds my attention. No whining wimps. Narration is perfect. Lately my favorite mystery/suspense writers have been a bit of a let down. On to the next.

Too sick and twisted

The detective story held my interest. I thought the characters, the humor, and the interactions of the detectives were well done. However, the alternating chapters focused on the gory plans and step-by-step actions of a sociopathic murderer were too bloody, sick, and twisted for me ever to read. I skipped those and just read the detective story.

Unfortunately I can't recommend this book to anyone, because of the chapters detailing twisted gore.

The later books in the series are a treat because of the humorous banter among the young detectives and their mentor, and their differentiation according to special abilities.

If you expect a tight, police procedural, then you probably will find these stories frustrating. Procedures are not true to life. I enjoyed the comedy, workplace camaraderie, and the mutual support among the characters as they interact. The later books are wonderful. Skip the first few.

David McCallion’s performance leaves nothing wanted

McCallion is masterful. His talent kept me riveted. He brings Munro to three dimensional life.

She-

Very well written and read. looking forward to next book. don't knot what to expect.

SHE

The storyline was superb and the book well written, but the audio was atrocious! the narration was OK, but the audio dipped in and out like a badly tuned radio!

engaging listen

i found it initially difficult to workout who was who and their relation ship to the twists and turns to the plot, once sort of got to grip the story was fine.

Worst book I’ve ever come across

This book is truly dreadful, don’t waste your time.
It is quite short so I preserved in the hope it would improve or have some amazing twist at the end because the reviews are generally good - so many hours I won’t get back.
The characters are all afflicted by an inability to complete a sentence, they just stop dead! At first this was mildly annoying but as the book progressed this happened with almost every sentence of speech and really interrupted the flow of the story.
The characters are also very cliched.

On top of this the narration is poor.

Strange ending

Quite an entertaining short book. However the ending was a little disappointing. Still worth a listen.

Awful

I think the author thought he was being quirky and original but he wasn't and the narration certainly didn't help. The summary was more interesting than the book. Not recommended.

is this the end

on the whole i enjoyed the book but found the ending just a little confusing re read 3 times and still not sure who did what ???
