About this listen

In 1752, Seamus a'Ghlynne, James of the Glen, was executed for the murder of government man Colin Campbell. He was almost certainly innocent. When banners are placed at his gravesite claiming that his namesake, James Stewart, is innocent of murder, reporter Rebecca Connolly smells a story.

The young Stewart has been in prison for 10 years for the brutal murder of his lover, lawyer and politician Murdo Maxwell. Rebecca soon discovers that Maxwell believed he was being followed prior to his murder and his phones were tapped. As Rebecca keeps digging, she finds herself in the sights of Inverness crime matriarch Mo Burke, who wants payback for the damage caused to her family in a previous case.

This book which was a little hard to get through. I did not altogether not enjoy it, though having being spoilt previously by both better novels by other authors and narrators, I found this hard to rate in the same division as them. The narration let things down especially for me, but the story was a little bland and not as enjoyable as I had been hoping for. I think that I'll stick with my traditional favourites - Peter May, Ian Rankin and Denzil Meyrick to name three - and their fantastic narrators Peter Forbes, James MacPherson and David Monteath - to name three of each of the best in their class - in my opinion.

Ok
