He knows their weaknesses, knows how to stay hidden, and he thinks he’s above the law…

Not as good as the first two

It was a surprise that this one paled in comparison to the first two in this series. The last 1.5 hours were good, but most of the rest was clumsy, confusing, and disappointing! There was too much artificial banter among the team that just wasn't funny and interrupted the progression of the plot. There was a bit more development of the main characters, although this, too, seemed a bit on the cliched side. It was worth listening to the end to get the resolution of the storyline, but this one was definitely less enjoyable than the first two. Thank goodness for the amazing narrator, who is one of my favorites!

Great book

I’ve listened to it twice as well as all the other books, so that says it all. Great characters, love their interaction. Well developed plot line with twists and turns. I enjoy the police procedural aspects…so interesting. And Angus does it again!! Excellent performance. I could listen to him all day (and I have 😄)

another great story in the ongoing series

Lots of twists and turns in the plot the author always brings out the beauty of Scotland in the cultural contacts that surrounds the characters and I think that Scotland is one of the characters in the story.
the recurring characters have all been further developed and will be interesting to see where they all go from here.

a hidden gem

an amazing book, interesting characters, hell of a plot and good follow threw ( Scottish accent heavily applied)

Keeps You Guessing

I enjoyed this book kept you on your toes, the twist at the end was excellent never saw that one coming. Narration was fantastic.
