Paddy Meehan is thrilled with her new job: working the police beat at the newspaper. Responding to a late night call, she arrives at an elegant villa, where a calm blonde woman with blood on her mouth answers the door. The woman has already convinced the police to leave, and soon Paddy realizes how: She slips fifty dollars into Paddy's hand and begs her to keep the incident, whatever it is, out of the press.
The next morning, Paddy sees the lead news story: The woman has been murdered. Soon after, the body of a suicide is pulled from the river. Was the blonde more than just a spoiled trophy wife? Are the two deaths related? In pursuit of answers, Paddy is drawn into a web of violence and greed.

Reseñas de la Crítica
- Mystery Writers of America 2007 Edgar Nominee, Best Novel
"Hopefully, this won't be the last breathless adventure for one of the most entertaining reporter sleuths in recent crime fiction." (Publishers Weekly)

As with all of Denise Mina’s books there are intricate details and storylines which come together in ways you may not imagine but are so fun to go along with.
I didn’t really like the performance
So many twists

I thought the narrator did an excellent job – the dialogues were easy to follow which I guess must be an indication that the voices are varied. The narration never detracts from the story, which for me is the bottom line.
One criticism I have is that I don’t think there’s ever a good reason to abridge a 350-page book; it always negatively affects the storyline. I had already read all three books of this trilogy so it didn’t impact my enjoyment so much but I really don’t understand any benefits derived from abridgement. Invariably details are left out that help tie things up, especially in the mystery genre.
I do recommend reading or listening to all three books in the order they were written to avoid unnecessary confusion but I don’t think the sequence is mandatory for enjoyment of the stories. I actually read “The Dead Hour” first instead of “Field of Blood”.
I recommend this and all of Denise Mina’s books. I wish audible offered all her novels in the unabridged form.
The Dead Hour

Where the first book offered two lenses - Paddy at work, Paddy at home - the second offers two different lenses - Paddy's view, and the view from one of the protagonists. I wouldn't say that this book is worse than the first - it's just different.
While it was a little slow to draw me in, I did reach that point where just couldn't stop listening until I found out how it was all going to end. That's usually the sign of a good read (listen) - at least in my book (pun intended).
I enjoyed the narrator's performance and had no problems understanding the diction. For me, the accent really added to the sense of place and the atmosphere of the story.
All up, I'm glad I picked it and I will be moving on to Slip of the Knife next.
Pleasant listen, worth considering
