About this listen

Hogmanay. New Year's Eve. A dead teenager, another missing. One hell of a case.

Meet DS Vicky Dodds. Settling down for a nice Hogmanay with her daughter and her best friend, a phone call pulls DS Vicky Dodds into work and to a deadly new case.

A teenage girl, her body cooling in a cold, dark supermarket car park. Found next to her friend’s car, but the driver’s missing too—has the killer taken her? Or is she the killer?

As the clock ticks down, Vicky digs deep as she investigates Dundee’s grim underbelly, and shows real blood and guts as she cuts through the lies of teenagers and a colleague’s furious rage in her pursuit of the truth.

In a revised 2024 edition, BLOOD & GUTS introduces the explosive crime thriller series from bestselling author, Ed James, one of Scottish crime fiction’s grittiest writers. Perfect for fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, James Oswald and Stuart MacBride.

Great narrator as always but took me a while to get used to the different detective. A decent story and I will try second book.

Brilliant

Is the narration on this a joke? Every time I put it on I cringed at the male voices. Extremely off putting.

Awful Narration

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I liked the story but don't understand why the book is narrated by a man when it's a female leader character

Good but should have been narrated by a woman

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I liked this book and also like the authors other series featuring Rob Marshall but I just wish the writer would drop the expression he or she “blew air up his face” its repeated multiple times over every single book. I think someone in the proof reading dept should have picked up on this by now or even the narrator. It’s quite annoying.

Just one thing annoys me.
