About this listen

They died 30 years ago, but the case is not closed.

Five walkers set out to climb Ben Lomond on a fine October day. Within hours the weather has taken a turn for the worst. The group find themselves lost on the mountain. Two of the climbers manage to make it back down and call for help.

The following day a body is found. One of the female climbers has been strangled, and another man is missing without a trace.

DCI Dani Bevan is called to the Loch Lomond town of Ardyle to lead the case. It quickly becomes clear that Bevan must dig into the events of a similar tragedy that occurred on the hills 30 years earlier in order to find the killer.

This requires the DCI to face up to the ghosts of her own tragic past and to endeavor to put them behind her once and for all.

Great 1st book! Lots of twists and turn. I thoroughly enjoyed the listen and will be downloading the new t instalment.

Great

This will appeal to the American market as it includes the love interest of an American detective with a story set in Scotland. Except for the excruciating part where Dani and Andy took it in turns to explain ' who dunnit ' , it was a reasonable listen.
