About this listen

How can DI Clare Mackay uncover the facts if nothing is what it seems?

DI Clare Mackay is called to Albany High, where the body of a girl has been found. A suspected suicide – yet Sophie Bakewell was by all accounts a cheerful, talented student. Could she really have been hiding a darker side?

It's not the only disturbing case to land on Clare's desk. Across town, an elderly man is in danger. Yet before the police can determine the facts, everything changes and they are presented with two suspicious deaths to investigate.

As Clare and her team face the possibility that anything they believe to be true about the deaths is wrong, they might find that a killer can lurk behind the most innocent of faces…

A captivating crime thriller from the queen of Tartan Noir, perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Lin Anderson and JD Kirk.

I’ve followed all this series and this book didn’t disappoint. Good plot and interesting characters. Love the main detective, solid with a hint of rebellion.
Also Beji always a delight. Highly recommended.

Worth waiting for.

I DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL I HAD FINISHED ALL 8 BOOKS IN THE AUDIBLE LIBRARY BEFORE GIVING A REVIEW AND I DO HOPE LMK SOME OTHER AUTHORS YOU TAKE NOTE. MARION YOU READ THE FIRST 6 BOOKS I WOULD BE THE 1ST TO SRY YOUR NARRATION WASNT WONDERFUL ESPECIALLY BETWEEN GENDERS BUT AT LEAST WE KNEW WHO WAS WHO THE LAST 2 BOOKS CLAIRE SOUNDED ABOUT 25 AND NO ONES VOICE DIFFERED SORRY BUT THE NARRATOR WAS AWFUL SPOILED THE LAST 2 BOOKS FOR ME. AS USUAL THE STORIES WERE REALLY GOOD AND YOUR WRITING TOP QUALITY. JUST NEED BETTER NARRATION

I really enjoy Marion Todd’s writing - this series includes great characters whose lives develop through the books and the crimes they get involved with are different and varied, with enough twists and turns to keep you fully engrossed. The stories are also believable and not too grisly, excessively violent or psychologically unpleasant. Really excellent.

Another excellent story in the series

Always compelling

I’ve listened to all 8 books on sequence and enjoyed them all. Good well crafted stories with characters whose evolving lives add depth to the books. I don’t usually like it when a narrator changes but in this and the last book the change is seamless.

Another excellent book in the series
