About this listen

 Simon Darcourt, an inventive killer with a sense of humour, is creating his own celebrity talent show, one that is generating more publicity than its contestants have ever had in their lives. The catch is that those lives won't be very long.

The police turn to Angelique de Xavia, a cop who has crossed his path before. However, the police are not the only people who want Darcourt. Now she's faced not only with tracking him down, but also with the task of ensuring she doesn't end up dead once she's served her purpose.

Scared and alone, Angelique knows she's got a snowball's chance of pulling this off, which is why she's going to need a little magic...

Critic reviews

"Brilliant and hilarious." ( Guardian)

I thought the first book in this series would make a great film, and the same can be said for all 3. I like Christopher’s style of writing so much that I have put all his other titles in my wish list.

Wow again!

Totally immersive. Loved the narrative and dialogue - such a rich blend of Scottish jargon, quotes from poetry and literature

Genius finale to the series.

So often a sequel disappoints. This builds on the characters and has a truly inspired sense of humour, black but not too black, a bit off kilter but not twisted. A great plot that keeps the attention and characters you can relate to. Thoroughly recommended.

Brookmyre at his best

As full of twists as a plateful of spaghetti! The third in the series was well worth the wait. Great, complex storyline, fabulous characters, brilliant touches of humour and a narrator from heaven. Loved it loved it loved it. M
